P3 Firmware v1.7.0060

[Oso]

We do know for sure that both methods stop the motors.

As for CSC, startup was the same but on the ground to shut off, CSC no longer stopped it. Thankfully, left stick down still works which I need for hand catching.

Now it is reported - at least on the ground - that the old CSC does NOT stop the motors anymore. I'd have to assume the old CSC wont stop in the air either.
One person says that the old CSC still stops the motors and one person says that the old CSC no longer stops the motors.

Any tie breaking votes?

No Thanks.

After "f****" with 1.4fw drifting i stop with this nonsense updates.
Anyone confirm this?:

How wait, isn`t on the "compass" stuff update...

Gotta love DJI......worse and worse.....

If you are asking about blocking non-OEM batteries, then yes there have been threads about it in the last week or so. It started on March 7th with an Android app update, and came to iOS a day or two ago with the new iOS app. From what I've read it is confirmed, though I have also read that the non-OEM battery manufacturers may be updating their firmware to bypass the DJI lock out.
gO aPP 2.6.1 WARNING!!

No wonder that Apple and DJI are working together now. This type of BS is so Cupertino like it hurts.

It reminds me of Google always blocking and being a pain with Windows Phone. E.g. Only blocking YouTube which was way better than the android version.

I will update when I get home as I am a idiot and always rush in when anything new update is released.

WTF? It seems DJI has changed the CSC combination to left stick + RTH button. But only for P4?
What could be the reason?
My guess? - P4 crashes are unwanted. P3 crashes wanted.

Quite a policy...

That's just being silly.

It is dark here, but I just took one of my P3Ps outside again, powered it up with CSC, stopped it with CSC, powered it up with CSC and powered it down with the new method. I then powered it up, and stopped it with left stick down.

No questions or tie breaks required.

It does NOT power up with the new method. Instead it beeps at you.


ETA:- I did all the tests again, without the iPad connected. Same results.

"Improved compass accuracy"

Aaaaah, what?

It said "IMPROVED COMPASS ACCURACY".

So, you stopped updating with v1.4, but you claim that subsequent updates are worse?

FYI: I too experienced drifting in an earlier firmware version. Guess how I fixed it.

Thanks again sir.

@bighi - fyi that the old CSC does still stop the motors.

I thought this was supposed to bring the GEO functionality, WTF DJI?

Ok so someone who has updated. Can you post a screen shot of your DjiGO app so we can see what the updated version numbers should look like? Kthxbye

Why?

 

[TroyCutchens]

Because I updated and it doesn't say 1.7 it says 1.6.4+ wondering if that is right. All indications say it is, just wanted to verify.

Mine shows App - 2.7.1 (edited to show .1)
A/C - 1.7.60
RC - 1.5.80

I have the P3P.

Do you have a professional or advanced? I seem to recall that the version numbers differed slightly between them?

 

[dirtybum]

So I guess I'm the pathetic newbie you are referring to? FWIW I fly extensively nearby, it would just be nice if it would actually fly at home. Thought I'd try to have a polite discussion but that may not be possible on this forum. Nice to meet you flyNfrank...

Come on now, i think you took that personal and it wasn't meant to be from Frank! It sounded to me like he was almost commiserating[emoji41]

It said "IMPROVED COMPASS ACCURACY".

Ooh, I get it now. I was wondering why my P3 flew so straight without any problems. Duuuuuuh! The compass firmware was bad. Makes sense.

 

[clarky150]

I've got Advanced and shows A/c - 1.6.4+

Could it be different between iOS and Android?

That difference only applies to the GO app.

Over at DJI forum, lot of people complaining about 3rd party batteries not working. Won't let you take off.
Apparently, DJI has encoded in the GO app that if you are not using a genuine DJI battery, you can't fly.
