    BT-300 discontinued

    End of the road for the BT-300 I'm afraid. Discontinued, and no more software development. https://tech.moverio.epson.com/en/news/20210305.html

    Epson bt35e

    You can only connect the CS to the BT~35e by means of HDMI and a separate power lead. You do not have the option of usb C in this setup. That’s what I was getting at. I’m not sure if one could use the micro usb connector on the CS to connect to the RC. If that’s possible it would free up the...

    Epson bt35e

    Not quite correct. The DJI CrystalSky monitors also have HDMI out, as well as usb power for the BT-35e interface box. The usb power is not required if using the usb C to connect the BT-35e interface, but you do not have a usb C connector on the on the MP standard controller.

    RC charging the BT300 controller...

    I added a 10000mAH power bank as below. After 4 airborne batteries, the RC remained at 100% battery while the BT300 got down to 61% and the power bank was down to about 75%. Makes me think that the RC is supplying very little charging current to the BT300 in this setup, if anything at all...

    RC charging the BT300 controller...

    I’m going to try a power bank, and yes I have had GO4 crashes in the hot summer months here which I attribute to BT300 overheating. I always use the lower USB port on the RC to connect to the BT300. Where do you keep the power bank when flying? In a pocket with a long cable?

    RC charging the BT300 controller...

    Does anyone find this to be a problem with the Moveio BT300? In the iOS version of GO4 there is an option to prevent this but it seems not with GO4 for Android Devices. At least not the BT300. I find that my RC battery will run down to as low as 15% after my Mavic Pro has gone through 3...

    Moverio BT300 compass calibration

    Yes, strange. Although the melonsoft compass does not actually calibrate the compass, it only measures magnetic field strength and a whole lot of other parameters. I found that if the compass needs calibrating (according to the Moverio calibration app), then the melonsoft compass will be...

    Moverio BT300 compass calibration

    Just to add to this thread FWIW:- The radar compass in the iOS version of DJI GO4 is 100% correct. It works smoothly and accurately on my iPad mini4. The radar compass in the CrystalSky version of DJI GO4 is about as unreliable as the Moverio BT300. Both these Android devices have the latest...

    Moverio BT300 compass calibration

    Yup, I've got 4.3.36 and Android 5.1.1 Also just sent an email to the developer of the GO4 app whose address is on the Epson web page of your link above. Lets see if I get a reply.

    Moverio BT300 compass calibration

    I installed the Compass app from APKpure, and as you say it proves that the headset compass is working properly and accurately. However the radar screen compass in the bottom right of the GO4 screen remains haywire, and that is the issue. It's the way the Moverio version of GO4 and the headset...

    Moverio BT300 compass calibration

    Has it worked for you Iannes?

    Moverio BT300 compass calibration

    Iannes, have you personally been able to calibrate the compass successfully? That S-08 note looks like it's from an Epson FAQ, and it's pure BS as far as I'm concerned. No matter where I try, outdoors, indoors or wherever, the compass will not calibrate correctly. I assume you are using DJI GO4...

    Moverio BT300 compass calibration

    This one seems to be a lost cause, I know. The compass calibration app from Epson on the Moverio app store has never worked for me or anyone else AFAIK. As it is the BT300 compass is wildly inaccurate and unpredictable. Anyone have any further info?

    Running Litchi on Moverio BT300

    Has anyone been successful in running Litchi on the Moverio BT300? I tried some time back and found I could install Litchi from the Amazon app store (reason being that I also have a paid for CrystalSky version which works well on that device, far better than DJI GO4 in fact) Problem is Litchi...

    Do I or Don't I?

    IMHO the CS is no match for the iPad mini 4 except in terms of screen brightness. I have the 5.5 CS and an iPad mini 4. The CS with it's outdated hardware and old Android 5.1 OS is slow, unreliable and laggy compared to the smooth and fast iPad. If visibility in bright daylight is a must, then...
