I bought the drone yesterday never flew it.
The app opens when the usb cable is connected to the controller. The controller could update, but the connection to the drone doesn't establish. But I have to admit, that my Huawei P10 Lite switches from data transfer to usb charging automatically every time I try to select usb data transfer. Don't konw if part of the problem lays there.
OK so the controller and the mobile phone ARE connecting and communicating it seems...That kind of runs out the cable/USB...What is shown on the app screen? does it show the controller icon and a blanked out or red icon for the drone? can you select "fly" on the bottom right? It won't show anything except as far as a camera feed but that will verify the app,etc is working and the drone is the only thing disconnected..At this point just concentrate on getting the controller to find/connect to the drone...NVM any WIFI connection because the Anafi itself does not need any internet connection to work with the controller.
You only need an internet connection when downloading maps or the updates.
the controller SHOULD have been "paired" to the drone from the factory but because of your "early beta" firmware it might have been separated or switched. There is a "reset" procedure for the drone ( hold the power button for 10 seconds or something) maybe try that?
There is also a reset selection in the remotes submenu."When you open up FF6 at the top you will see two icons. One is the Anafi and the other is the remote. Click on the remote and it will bring you to a new page where it lets you reset"
When you open the app and click on the "remote" icon on the top of the main screen there should be a picture of the remote and a "connect" button...If it does not connect to the drone, you might have to enter in the id from the tag in the case (like you do if just connecting to the drone without the controller)
Here is the hard reset procedure for ANAFI.
- Power ANAFI on.
- Press the power button and keep it pressed: after approximately 8 seconds, the battery's LEDs turn on red, one after the other.
- When the 4 LEDs are red, release the power button.
- ANAFI reboots - a TXT file has been generated on ANAFI's microSD card, which contains ANAFI's Wi-Fi network's password; that's how you can check the hard reset has been successful.
