"Wheel error"

[tezdrone]

Hey guys, today I got a "wheel error" on the controller, while the app didn't show anything and drone's status light was normal.

The controller was beeping very loudly. I restarted everything and the error went away, but it has me a tad concerned if there's anything wrong with the controller that could kick back in mid-flight?

In case by "wheel", the rocker is meant, I do carry the controller in the DJI mavic bag and it makes rockers stay at angles. I've gotten that plastic protector but not shipped yet.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I had this two times.. while tilting the camera upwards. The error came up then wnet away as soon I relelased the rocker. I dont think its the controllers fault. It must be some software bug.

It's the camera tilt wheel. It will say that when it's not centered at the beginning of a flight, jsut letting it go back to center should make the error disappear.

If you hold it off-center for too long after it reaches the gimbal's max point, it will complain also. Release and it's happy.

Cool, relieved to know it's not important. Thanks guys! This forum is great!

One more question, that is now unrelated I guess, but do you take off rockers before putting the controller in bag (if tight), or use plastic protectors that keep rockers in position, etc?!

No.

I see no reason to do either. The controls are well made and can handle the small amount of pressure they may encounter in your bag. And if you pack your bag just right, the sticks will barely touch anything else, so no pressure at all to be concerned about.

Most of the new batches of controllers can't remove the sticks from the ball of the control.
