Upgrade firmware? Definite trade-off between new features, and reliability. We got real excited when we learned about 5.24/5.26, and free waypoints etc. But when the problems started to emerge, we made the decision that we would live without waypoints (well, we got the ONE waypoint that comes...

John, do let us know how you get on. Agree with Tomstoy2, DJI have lost interest in WKM. A2 looks all round better, in terms of features, but the story of WKM upgrades does not inspire confidence in their ability to create quality software. And they should not be proud of the fact that the...

Which firmware? Just putting in my 2 cents worth (as a UK-based commercial operator). Aerial operators are placed in an appalling situation regarding flight control firmware. We are regularly operating alongside professional traditional camera crews, and we are expected to provide the same...

What causes green flashing light Jan, there are 3 things that can cause green flash on the aircraft LED (All the following applies for WKM versions up to 5.22 - I don't know about later versions than that). 1. Setting Home Lock or POI position, which is a sequence of 4 (I think) fast flashes...

maxwelltub, do you realise how many people have raised this problem that you've just solved?? If you got that printed on a T-shirt, people would be coming up to you in the street going 'OMG, is THAT what it is??' Thanks enormously.

Flying 5.16, never had a problem with it. No matter how tempting all those Waypoints are, I'll wait a bit longer til 5.26 is battle hardened.

(Sorry I can't find a more appropriate forum for this question) I'm using a TM1000 for telemetry on a WKM-based hexcopter, with a Spektrum DX8 on the ground. Power is a pair of 5AH, 4S lipos. The voltage reading that shows on the DX8 is low by about 0.4V (compared with the battery voltage...

Any possibility that this is interference from the video TX causing brief poor GPS acquisition? http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?13576-GPS-slow-caused-by-VTX&highlight=wkm+firmware

Questions about the Bluetooth LED (We're flying a hex with firmware 5.16) Is the BT LED a mandatory hardware requirement for 5.24? Does this mean I HAVE to upgrade the LED before I can re-flash to 5.24? Is the BT LED backwards compatable with 5.16? What the hell's the point of it anyway? Does it...

Hover, where did you find a setting for the climb/drop rate?

Some experiences using way points (ground station) in the field We've now done about 12 flights in the field with Ground Station (single waypoint). So it IS usable, although the user interface is highly unsatisfactory for controlling £9,000 worth of gear. Some observations: We worked a 2-man...

Thank you, hover. Yes, we have now taken the plunge and started using waypoints in live. Successfully, including taking back manual control, and also did a laptop transmit-failure exercise (result: successful RTH and auto-land, tho I admit I was biting my nails). In the end, the Simulator is...

Assume I don't have a GPS signal (cos I'm working in my garage). When I start the Simulator and connect to the aircraft, it sets the aircraft in the Atlantic ocean (0 Lat 0 Long). This is not a terribly helpful location to do mission practices with the simulator. Is there any way to 'position'...

I guess no one else is using it yet!

No idea about the gimbal, but I note that the landing gear rotates with the camera (avoiding the need for retractable gear). Don't like the pointy feet much, I wouldn't like to try to land it on rough ground in a cross wind.
