Hello Everybody,
I encountered a strange crash 2 times with 2 different M2 pro.
I took off in low light conditions (but not fully dark) close to a building (5m).
The drone was hoovering (at 2m) and started to slowly fly backwards. It did not react to any order. Before it crashed into the bulding I managed to lower the alt, so it survived the crash with small scratches.
This drone was replaced due to factory dead SD card reader.
I got a new one, I did the same thing what I described above, in addition I calibrated the compass (had to try many times due to magnetic interf).
This time it was closer to the wall(2-3m) an was flying higher (at 2.5m) and I did not manage to bring it down.
Looks like the upward sensor suffered a damage. I tried to fly again in good light conditions, I managed to ascend up to 25-30 meters, and the drone reported upward obstacle on the clear sky. I tried a few times, but it did not get any better. At the last try the drone simply started to fly away very fast. I immediately switched it to sport mode. Looks like it helped. I could maually land.
I need your help to understand
- why it crashed into the wall
- what to do with the sensor (if replacement possible?)
- why did it start to drift away with damaged sensor
- whether switching to sport mode cab stop uncontrollable drone
By the way, there is no visible damage on the upward sensor. I will try to recalibrate in the mean time.
I have a 3rd party insurance, but I do not want to trigger it yet.
Thank you very much!
