What order?

[Steve A]

Hi there, another newbie question! I have got myself some cables to hard connect my iPad and remote controller. In what order should I turn stuff on, will the connection be automatic and how will I know it's working? And if it doesn't..what next?
Many thanks

In what order should I turn stuff on

Plug the cable into your iPad, power on the Spark and remote controller, and wait until the light turns green on the remote controller before connecting the cable to it.

will the connection be automatic

Yes.

how will I know it's working?

You'll be able to control the Spark with the remote controller.

Steve, this is the checklist I created for myself:

* Power up Spark
* Plug OTG cable into Controller
* Open antennas
* Power up RC Controller and wait for connection to Spark (Controller green light)
* Plug lightning cable into iPhone (ignore not supported accessory message).
* Launch DJI Go 4 application
* Wait for connection message
* Select Go Fly

Hi Don
I have the fly more combo but after powering on the controller I get a red light on controller
I have updated firmware, do I need to link again?

 

[Steve A]

Gonna try hard wire now

Hi Don
I have done the above but I am getting a disconnected message in the app?
Do I need to have wifi turned on as well?
I thought the cables bypassed that?

Do I need to have wifi turned on as well?

No. What kind of cable are you using?

 

[Steve A]

Micro USB to female USB
USB to lightning
One of them is meant to be otg

Those cables should be fine together. Did you wait until the remote controller light turned green before connecting the OTG cable?

Just saying thanks for this list.

 

[Dronason]

Yep

Did you get on the iPad the message "not supported accessory" ? On mine when I don't get it, I don't have the connection and need to unplug/plug the RC connector.

No, light on rc just goes red and app says disconnected

You said the remote controller light turns green above. It sounds like you're now saying it never turns green. Can you clear that up for us?

 

[Steve A]

Yep
It connects and turns green
When I then connect the cable, it turns red
