Hi guys,
Got a bit of a problem here.
Last night we had clear skies (for the first time in ages) so I thought I'd take my ANAFI out for a little flight.
After plugging in my SC3 to my telephone (SAMSUNG J5) and launching FREEFLIGHT, I notices that there were 2 updates available, one for the drone, one for the controller.
I decided to do the update on the controller first.
The update started as normal (sending to controller) but at around the 30% mark, FREEFLIGHT suddenly showed "Controller not connected". I had touched nothing.
So, I unplugged the controller from the phone and re-connected - still nothing.
Then I re-started FREEFLIGHT - still nothing. It shows "controller not connected" - and invites me to connect the controller or use my smartphone to control the drone...
At this point I turned off the drone, turned off FREEFLIGHT, unplugged the controller and closed it AND :
THE CONTROLLER WONT TURN OFF
The blue/white connecting LED flashes slowly (like its trying to connect to the drone) but the controller will not turn off!
I opened / closed the controller several times - nothing, the LED flashes, the controller wont turn off.
So :
- I try a new USB cable phone to controller - nothing.
- I try connecting the controller directly to the drone (USB-A to USB-C) using 2 different cables - nothing.
- I hold down the "return to home" button on the controller, the LED flashes green for about 2 seconds, then goes back to flashing blue/white.
- I re-shut the controller - still wont turn off.
- I un-install FREEFLIGHT, then restart my phone and re-install everything, plug everything back in, connect the drone to my phone by WIFI - do the update on the drone, I even manage to fly the drone with my smartphone - no problem, but the Controller will not connect to my SMARTPHONE and still wont turn off!
So :
- I unscrew the base of the controller (my ANAFI is out of warranty) - un plug the battery. Wait 5 minutes, re-connect. Open the controller (LED comes on) - close the controller (LED still stays on).
- I un plus the battery again, wait 30 minutes this time - same deal. The controller turns on, tries to connect to the drone, does not. Cannot be picked up by my phone AND wont turn off unles I remove the battery !
HELP !
I'm on holiday next week and really wanted to take some arial shots with my drone, but without the controller this will be complicated.
Kind regards
