1. Starting the Phantom, Range Extender, and Remote
2. Connecting to the Phantom wifi
3. Opening the logger app and starting the log
4. Waiting for the spinning icon to disappear
5. Increasing the camera transmit power (is this step really needed?)
6. Opening the DJI app (which is usually still showing the camera screen)
7. After I'm done flying and have landed I go back to the logger app and stop the logging
8. Turn off the Phantom, Range Extender, and Remote
Thanks
I'm on android so I don't know if this part matters or not....But there is something that stood out in reading your steps you take. On #6 you mentioned "(which is usually still showing the camera screen)"....If you see the camera screen at this point you have not been doing the process correctly. You should not see the camera screen until the absolute very last thing, prior to starting the motors.
When selecting your quad from the wifi list, after clicking on it a message box should open which show the word "Connect"(plus a few other words). You select connect, and then select the desktop option where you will open the V+PU app and make your selections. Now go back to dji app and select back button to enter the camera screen and observe the satellite number.....and you know the rest to do.
I'm doing all of that. On the iPhone I connect to wifi in step 2 above. Step 6 where the camera is already open, the DJI app remembers how I left it so usually when I open their app, the camera is still up. When I say logger in steps 3 & 7 I'm taking about the V+PU app. I'm still only getting partial files or blank files. Most of them are blank and the ones that have something start mid-flight.
Ok I think I'm following a little better now. I'm almost positive the V+PU app is not fully compatible, yet, with apple. There is something that system checks for that causes issues. I think it has to do with checking for advertisements in a certain manner? You can find talk on that subject in the main thread that was originally created for the V+PU. I use a Nexus 7 and with it being 7 inches in viewing size it simply blows away using any smart phone when navigating is concerned. The cost for a cheap android tablet shouldn't be that much. I'll admit the video you see when flying is still not that of watching 1080p played back. But it is a great deal better due to the size alone.
I have been beta testing this app for some time now and have countless hours in working with it. I have experienced quite a bit thus far. We should get a new update with in the next day or two that will add additional columns in the flight logger, plus other stuff. The current setup does not need the Pitch, Roll, and Yaw columns. But they will now have to leave them installed because I'm sure some customers have created custom Data Profiles, and Gauges using those columns that would cause their stuff to stop functioning should they remove them.
Btw, on a android setup, you never see the camera page until the very last before powering the motors.
