Hey guys, ive tried to reset my home point location with the s2 switch flipping 5-10 times and i see no changes in lights or anything, how can i be sure that the home loation has changed successfully?
Resetting home point

I've not tried this myself but it may show in the little tracker on the screen. In other words it would be out of the center, say out front, then changing home point should put it back in the center where it is.

after the 5th flip of the X2 switch, the LED (the ESC LEDs if P2, main LED adjacent to battery door if P1) will give a solid yellow light prompting you to do a compass calibration. hope this helps!
I had a total brain fart yesterday.
I wasn't happy with where I was launching from and where home point was set so I moved my bird leaving it on and tried to reset home point numerous times but got flashing and solid yellow. Gave up and tried again while in the air with the same result. So I flew and got the shot I was after.
Later while thinking about it, I realized i was flicking S1 and initiating compass cal

Did some more testing today of resetting home point running the Vision App with 3.04 firmware. Resetting the home point does not change the altitude home point but it does, of course, reset the horizontal home point. I was, however, at only about 30 ft altitude when resetting home and maybe the bird has to be above the RTH (Return To Home) altitude in order to get a reset.

Nope... If you are seeing yellow lights for compass calibration.... you are flipping the wrong switch... that would be S1 (right hand)... The other switch (S2 left hand) simply remarks your home position without all the hassle so you can do it in the air or whenever you want.

You have to do it pretty much as quickly as you can.
I doubt it's possible to do it too quickly.
Also it definitely does reset the altitude at the same time.
It's easier to reset it by toggling between course and home rather than all the way up and down.
If you toggle between top and course lock it resets the course lock which is also useful for some video work.

a solid yellow light means you have to do a compass calibration, which is picking up your craft and horizontally spinning it 360 degrees, then turning it vertically and spinning 360 degrees again to get a GPS lock on a home position. you cannot do this in the air and i would not recommend you fly without doing this. what type of Transmitter do you have because on a Futaba its X2 I believe it's S1 for a DJI OEM Transmitter.
