Shield

[Flyguy222]

My Nvidia K1 tablet arrived today. I'm hoping to take all the advice I've been looking at to keep App crashes to a minimum. Is it still advisable to keep the update at 5.0 on the Shield?

 

[tcope]

I'm running the latest OS without any issues.

 

[Flyguy222]

Okay awesome. Is that in the Go4 app, not the original?

I have not had any issues with the latest and with DJI GO4.

 

[Flyguy222]

Awesome, thank you guys! I wanted to be sure before updating and then trying the downgrade process of firmware lol.

Yes it is working great now, did you pick up a pack of matte screen protectors? They are like six or seven dollars on amazon and help significantly in the sun.

 

[Flyguy222]

I haven't. But I'll have to get a pack. The operating system is fast enough to process relatively smoothly? So you use the app to edit video footage?

Oh yes, it is fast. Very fast; I bought "power director" for around five dollars and it works well on android.

 

[Flyguy222]

Wow. Thank you! You've been very helpful. I'm still fairly new to the flying community so I'm trying to get the best insight haha

Okay, i tried to fly the mavic for the first time yesterday with the shield, but the app says "disconnected" and no camera feed. Suggestions?

I had issues with the first cable I used, once I replaced it I've not had disconnects.

Also make sure the small cable on the side is disconnected as this will prevent the bottom port from connecting to the shield.

 

[Flyguy222]

Okay, I'll buy a new one and try it out, thanks!

Make sure you only have one cable plugged into the controller, either the side or bottom, I turn on the controller first, app second and Mavic third. I also turn of wifi and bluetooth and use a program called greenify to hibernate any other app that may be running. Keep my posted on your situation and we will get you up and running.

 

[Flyguy222]

Yea, the side port was disconnected, so I'm using the bottom USB. I won't have a chance to try flying again until the weekend, but I'll keep you posted!

You can try it indoors...just don't start the props. Everyone crashes indoors, don't be tempted :0

You can remove the props, I do when indoors "just in case"

 

[Flyguy222]

So like, try it via Wi-Fi? Okay guys, I'll buy another cord, but also try Wi-Fi too. Thanks for all your suggestions!

 

[jorgez]

you have to choose what app is using the usb port, it can only be set to one app at a time

 

[Flack]

You need usb debugging mode set to on, On my K1 sheild it always asks me to select which app I want to use when connecting, keep it set just once only and your good to go.

 

[Flyguy222]

Okay, thanks guys, I'll give all this a try!
