Smart Controller Update to 0.0530

[Avco Drone]

Hello again... Is anybody else having difficulties in updating their smart controller on DJI assistant 2?... I download the firmware and then try to upload it to the smart controller. The first time I got to 96% the second time I’ve got to 98%. I’ve given up for the day because I need to charge everything back up now. Any assistance is welcome please AvCo Drones Cardiff

A bunch of threads and info on this down in the Smart Controller sub-forum - but a few key things:

Make sure you have the latest version of DJI Assist 2 - you HAVE to use this - and make sure you have the xxxx.08 version - this seems to be the root of the issue for most folks

Some reported needing to uninstall previous versions of Assist 2 and reinstall the new version

Suggested to use the USB-C cable that DJI provided with the SC for charging purposes to use to connect to your computer for update.

Some reported issues with USB3 vs USB2 ports...


I was able to successfully update mine via my Macbook Pro - I did have to restart the initial software download a few times as it kept dropping the internet connection, but once it downloaded to the Mac the rest of the process went smooth

I had trouble updating the smart controller [shipped firmware], reached out to DJI, followed their recommendations
, still no luck.
I tried updating from the controller through wifi, PC, iMAC, changing from 2.4 to 5.ghz, deleting and reloading DJI software on PC,Mac, doing the same with the controller.
In every instance, I received a "network error" retry. Every device had a good wifi connection including Smart Controller, was able to download other apps, etc.
I finally connected the smart controller to my iPhone as a hot spot. It immediately worked and began & completed the download and install.
Why I don't know but worth a try if you are having troubles and great to know in the field!
