I was about to complain about the new FF6 software on the Anafi, but the root cause was different:
Today, I wanted to try the new software upgrade.
Did my check-list including the Anafi and command magnetometer calibration in an area free of any magnetic interference (in the middle of a muddy road in the French countryside).
Took-off with a hand launch on this dirt road took pictures and movies (see below the road, trees and on the left the wooden table). It flew perfectly well !
Then had this stupid idea to land on a large wooden table under the tree...
The Anafi was Ok until it touched the table, then it bounced erratically on the table refused to stop the motors. Tried to take-off again to gain altitude and land elsewhere but the Anafi did not respond to my orders.
I ran on it and touched the ‘off’ button on the battery : no luck, still running... hit a prop with my fingers (protected by a glove due to cold weather) then it stopped...
Then I made the following pics and measurements with my hand compass and found on the table ... 360° magnetic interference in the exact place where I tried to land...
Hope it will help you, and will add the ‘check interferences in the take-off / landing area / and during calibration dance’... blame it on me and this F...ing wooden table with a metallic frame !
