If you have had a loss in connection while using the Spark controller, this may be your solution.
It's very disconcerting when an RC aircraft looses connection, or goes out of range. This happened to me the other day and at a very short distance. So I contacted DJI via chat and the answer was less than informing. The chap was very nice but not an RC enthusiast.
The suggested solution was the firmware was some how corrupt, but that was definitely incorrect. The problem turned out to be Assistant 2 and the procedure it runs. It directs you to turn off the aircraft after installing and update and restart it. But it's running a virtual drive and it doesn't unmount the drive automatically. If you get a disk corruption you are likely to have issues and for me, Spark couldn't write logs so it had a spat.
Sparks CPU operates like any other computer, when hardware stops it waits. This can easily put it out of sink with the radio controller and the system goes to fail-safe. RTH , red connect LED etc..
So if your controller looses connection when it shouldn't, format the SD card and check the range again.
It would be interesting to know if anyone else has had this issue or can verify the problem.
