Mini 2 ATTI mode ?

AusTrekie · Jan 22, 2021

Why is my Mini 2 regularly keep telling me ATTI mode, even though I have good GPS signal, with 15 Satellites or more, and no interference. All firmware for Mini 2 and RMC up to date. This is an annoying problem, at the beginning of a flight. Anyone else having this annoying issue ?

yes, reading it now. thanks! but i still don't know what it means for all of us. should we not fly until they fix this 'bug?' so frustrating. and i cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get in touch with customer support.

Apparently it’s associated with loss of GPS and or downward sensors or both, I am also trying to find an answer as I have good GPS 15+ Satellites and good take off conditions, that is on flat surface with landing Pad. All firmware upto date. Any suggestions helpful.

It means nothing.
It's a false alarm that's been showing up since app version 1.2.2.
Your drone is not going into atti mode and your flight is not affected.

ps .. atti mode never has anything to do with downward sensors.

Yes continues constantly, I believe it maybe a bug in the firmware according to a previous reply. I guess if a bug have to wait for DJI to to create a firmware fix ? Will wait in anticipation !

I’m curious. If you operate indoors (without GPS coverage) and have a problem with the downward sensors, wouldn't the drone go into atti mode? Just found this on another site:

“The aircraft automatically changes to Attitude (ATTI) mode when the Vision System is unavailable or disabled and when the GPS signal is weak”

If you take away the things that give position holding stability (GPS satellites and VPS), what's left is atti mode.
The context for the suggestion about VPS having something to do with atti mode was the recent incidence of false alaram messages popping up when drones are in flight, high above VPS range.
AT that height, whether VPS is on or off makes no difference.

In those circumstances, I agree. However your comment said “atti mode never has anything to do with downward sensors“ which is not correct.

Newbie here, but if its a firmware bug, which it sounds like it is, why doesn't it effect all mini 2's

I’m getting this on iOS since 1.2.2 update, it’s definitely not in Atti mode, does it only affect iOS devices?

I was previously getting the same message on Android 10 - Fly 1.2.4, but my Mini 2 was also getting multiple Downward Vision Sensor errors intermittently (despite never crashing). Sent it back in and DJI replaced it with a new unit which has been great. Have not seen the ATTI error again in this new replacement.
