RC & AC WILL NOT CONNECT

mikemoose55 · Feb 25, 2018

need some suggestions please.
Flew three batteries about 24 hours ago, absolutely no issues.
Today upon startup (5 attempts) AC & RC will not connect, AC shows rapid flashing yellow = controller signal lost, RC reads CONNECTING.
Recently updated have about 6-7 batteries since latest update again with no issues.
Only change from yesterday to today is time.
Any thoughts would be a great help.
Thanks

try to re bind the AC and RC, I forgot how to do it, but do a search here, I am sure you can find it quickly

I just did that search, couldnt find instructions, BUT I found several posts of the same problem. Some resulted in replacement Mavics!

Try moving to a different location also, may be that local WiFi is interfering. Good luck!

Let us know what you did mike.

This is not going to be easy ( for me) because the problem was solved simply by returning the little switch in the SD card bay that your stupid finger moved when you tried to get the card out. Yup my dumb a$$, (actually it was my finger) moved the switch from RC to WiFi and that was the issue. Don't know why I thought of this just good karma or old man's luck.
I was hoping you guys would not ask

but fessing up is the price I pay for the help and energy i get here Thumbswayup

Sorry it was not more mystical just stupid.

Still good information to share as someone in the future may remember to check the switch should they be having connecting problems with the RC/AC.

You are certainly NOT the first to post with this issue. Not obvious, especially if you do not remember moving a switch.
