My first setup as it came in the box was W323 and GL300C.
It showed
App 3.1.1
FW 1.5.30+
AC 1.9.2
Tested it, flew several times, everything seemed okay except my video camera would shut off intermittently.
But I had already bought a GL300A on eBay and so retired the C and linked the A. The A hadn't been used in a year.
When I went to link the A RC, the connection didn't work correctly, the lamp on the RC was flickering red/green and the FPV was horrible - a green color on the FPV screen for the most part. But what was odd was that my AC FW indicated I was on 1.11.20. How could that be, when I was on 1.5.30+ when I bought the system? I never upgraded the AC FW, so I don't know how it would magically change to 1.11.20.
Anyway, I figured I needed to upgrade the RC FW since it was a year old. So I did, and it upgraded successfully.
Then, I had to relink the RC and the AC. The solid green returned on the controller, and the FPV worked perfectly.
I tested and flew and it's like a dream come true. Even the camera problem resolved itself somehow.
But what is odd is it now shows this:
App 3.1.23
FW 1.5.30+
AC 1.9.2
So how did my AC fw go back down to 1.5.30+??? It must have falsely indicated 1.11.20 before... ?
I don't get it.
I know there was a serious bug in 1.5.30 but it's my understanding it was fixed in 1.5.30+.... ?
I suspect I might be wise to upgrade the AC FW to at least 1.8. OTOH, 1.5.30+ seems to be working perfectly .... so far.
Re the oven thing - no worries. I only put the oven on for 60 secs using the kitchen timer, then turn it off. The oven is still room temp when I turn it off! Then put battery and AC in and close the oven door for a few mins. The heat elements in the oven are still hot even with the oven off and so they warm the oven just a bit while the oven is turned off. Oven goes up to around 100F while turned off. So my battery starts out between 25-30C. I had thoroughly tested this procedure several times before doing it and I've been doing it for.... well this is the third winter.
A penny for your thoughts...
