brodz · Jun 1, 2017

Ok maybe it's my buzzing at the moment,but Im working on my remote right right now and on my mavics rc PCB main board side.. . On the C1&C2 side ..there is a 3rd button and there is no way to access this button unless remote is totally disassembled and can only be pushed with out outer plastic case...but Sofar, if I push the button I can start remote and shut it off I haven't done much else yet anyone have any info on this curious about this? It's going to dig up sum antenna wires so I can keep it running and screw around with it for a bit I figure anything out about it and I'll post...

I am curious as well, looks like the controller had a spot for a vibration motor as well.

Have you tried to hook the remote to the computer, pressing the button to see if it displays different USB VID/PIDs ? It could be a debugging trigger for developers.

There are also some LED lights in there that are not utilized on the exterior of the controller. Weird engineering.

Not weird at all to have LEDs and buttons internal on electronics. I work for an electronics test equipment manufacturer and many boards have these items for troubleshooting.
