Imu

Will recalibrating the imu increase range ？？

 

[msinger]

No.

 

[bennie]

then why would dji tell me it would？

 

[msinger]

That's a great mystery. They seem to recommend that as a possible resolution for many problems.

 

[bennie]

im really getting sick of the way they treat customers like idiots

 

[bennie]

by any chance do you know if australia and vietnam are CE？

 

[msinger]

Australia is CE. I'm assuming Vietnam is too.

 

[bennie]

so being CE means i am limited to 500meters anyway？

 

[msinger]

That's correct.

 

[bennie]

500 meters would be excellent but at present can only go 150 max all settings checked imu recalibrated compass recalibrated antennas in right position phone in airplane mode just with wifi on(because i cant get otg to work) i am really disgusted the way dji has treated me in the chats i have had with them they leave me no other option but to report them to the ACCC and get my money returned

 

[Blade Strike]

No it will not, as I said in the other thread. This response has been reported. I do apologize!

Is your 150 meters always the same value or it can be sometimes 130 and sometimes 170 ?
Also what about altitude? Can you reach the maximum legal altitude in your country ?
When I reach the limit, the Spike becomes unresponsive and with some lags, so you know it is time to return. Is yours also like that ?

PS: I know I asked you already these questions in your other thread but it would be good to know if you have a limitation due to radio link or from some fencing system in the app.

 

[bennie]

No sometimes drops out at 30 meters in the same spot as it drops out at 150

No sometimes drops out at 30 meters in the same spot as it drops out at 150

So nothing to do with settings or so.
Did you tried to connect just the phone to the Spark without the RC? You will be limited to 100 meters distance and 50 meters height. But if that work fine, the issue is probably with the RC.
Best is to be in an open area with minimum wifi around you. Depending on your countries and type of phone type (older android phone could have issue to detect 5.8G wifi channels) the best is to try at 2.4G by powering the Spark, wait it blink yellow and then press the battery button about 10 seconds until you get 3 consecutive beeps. There will be 1 beep, 2 beeps and then 3 beeps. The wifi will be reseted to 2.4G with default SSID. You should be able to connect to it as SSID Spark-xxxx.
