    Constant beeping from RC Pro and left stick having issues

    Yup. Didn't want people to obsess on the firmware, since I (still) don't think it's the cause. Was hoping to hear other ideas first.

    Constant beeping from RC Pro and left stick having issues

    This is an rc plus. That thinks it's a pro. But no, haven't opened it and don't look forward to it, but there are a lot of videos demonstrating how to do it. But it is easy enough to send out if needed. I'd sure love to get confirmation that this is the issue before I do though.

    Constant beeping from RC Pro and left stick having issues

    The constant beeping also happens when there's a joystick issue. Have you not experienced that? I do all the time, with this and my two RC 's and even my NS1. All the time. Usually jiggling the joystick fixes that. How would a firmware issue get introduced after months of use? And again left...

    Constant beeping from RC Pro and left stick having issues

    I don't think it's related to the hack though. Been using that controller as is for 6 months. In my experience the constant beeping indicates an issue with the joystick. Furthermore what firmware issue could the beeping possibly indicate, especially after it's been successfully used for months...

    Constant beeping from RC Pro and left stick having issues

    Not an option alas. It's running some custom firmware and they'll do an update on it for sure. So odd that there doesn't appear to be a place to see what exactly the alarm is about.

    Done, no improvement even through a reboot.

    Constant beeping from RC Pro and left stick having issues

    This has happened to me occasionally in the past, where my RC Pro will start beeping during startup. Happens to my RC controllers too, and usually solved by moving the joysticks around. But yesterday my RC Pro started beeping during a flight and the left stick wouldn't respond to left/right...

    Bought and Tested the DJI RC Plus on Ebay that claims to work with the Mavic series of Drones. Guess What? IT DOES WORK! I'll tell you why.

    Good point, that is indeed confusing. I have to click ok to the prompt that says "Firmware version inconsistent,. Update firmware before use" when I switch between my Mavic 3 Pro and Mini 3 Pro. I have to do that when using the RC or RC Pro too. That's different than updating the firmware on...

    That's weird. Did you press the button on the drone for 3+ seconds until it started beeping in pairing mode and all that? And I know it sounds weird but sometimes I've had issues where a controller wouldn't pair to the drone because the drone was too close, so it's worth trying different...

    Been there done that! I salute your creativity but personally I prefer the Plus controller. Above is my old rig, a 12.9" iPad Pro with the NS1 controller. I was an evangelist for that method for a long time. Super love the giant screen as you say. And I still think it's a better method than...

    - way bigger and brighter screen than the Pro - way more rugged and waterproof - with the hot swappable battery way more battery capacity - twice the storage - detachable antennas I could go on. But yeah, calling it merely a "bigger body" is missing the point by just a little bit.

    I feel your joy! So glad it's working for you. I have no idea why this controller isn't more popular. I get the same joy every time I use it. Literally every time. It massively improves my Mavic 3 Pro.

    With the RC Plus controller, does the WB37 battery charge inside the controller or do I need a separate charger?

    My controller shipped with that setting already disabled, assuming you mean DJI Fly's Profile -> Settings -> About -> Auto Check for Updates, move the slider to disabled. Definitely a necessary thing to do. But I was still getting a little link to update in DJI Fly when I wasn't connected to a...

    I get the nags in Fly app too, but not when connected to a drone. I think I did before the update too? It's just a little "click here to update firmware" in the corner, easily ignored.
