External tablet continually uses controller to charge itself

[AdamBolonsky]

When I attach my Mavic Pro controller to my Eagleview tablet, the Eagleview tablet constantly draws a charge from the RC.

This drains the RC unneccesarily....plus the tablet has an enormous battery anyway.

I've dug through the sub-menus on both the Mavic Pro controller and the Eagleview tablet but haven't come up with a solution. This is probaly a quick fix but I'm stuck.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? Posting also to the Mavic Pro forum.

Adam that's a bug I have too and will probably have it forever. Right now I don't know of one either but I'll bring it up again. A lot of the tablets now are coming with the bottom magic but that doesn't help this problem. I'll ask them again.

There is a setting in the app to turn this off -- ALSO you can find a DATA only cable and use it.
OR Modify an existing cable by Cutting the x5V wire from the cables connector.
