Otherwise all propellers are at top. Please select the Mixer type in the assistant software according to your aircraft. ©2013-2014 DJI Innovations. All Rights Reserved.
Step2 Software and Driver Installation on a PC 1. Please download the drive installer and the assistant software from DJI website. 2. Connect the autopilot system and the PC via a USB cable, and power on the autopilot system. 3. Run the driver installer, and follow the instructions strictly to finish installation. 4. Run the assistant software installer, and follow the instructions strictly to finish installation. Step3 Configuration by Assistant Software on a PC 1. Power on the PC.
Step4 Compass Calibration Without GPS module, please skip this step. If you use with GPS module, follow step-by-step for calibration. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, car park, and steel reinforcement under the ground. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or cell phones. Compass module CANNOT work in the polar circle. Calibration Procedures 1.
Basic Flying Test Step1 About the Control Mode Switch The autopilot system can work in Manual Mode and ATTI. Mode without a GPS module. After connecting to the GPS module, GPS Mode is available. Follow the bellow steps to enter the different control modes. 1. Use a 3-position switch on the transmitter as mode control switch. 2. Make sure to take off the aircraft in ATTI. Mode in every flight. 3. Hover the Aircraft.
Step4 Flying Procedures 1. If in GPS Mode, place the aircraft in an open space without buildings or trees. Take off the aircraft after 6 or more GPS satellites are found (RED LED blinks once or no blinking). If in Manual Mode or ATTI. Mode, you can skip this step. 2. Place the aircraft three meters away from you and others (especially child), to avoid accidental injury. 3.
Advanced Functions A1 Control Mode Knowledge Please read the Control Mode Knowledge clearly before usage, to know how to control the aircraft. Different control modes will give you different flight performances. Please make sure you understand the features and differences of the three control modes. GPS Mode ATTI.
A2 Start & Stop Motor Knowledge Both Immediately Mode and Intelligent Mode are available in the Assistant Software: Advanced->Motor->Stop Type. If necessary, please select the Intelligent Mode in the Assistant Software. By using the Intelligent Mode, different control mode has different way of stopping motors. In Manual Mode, only executing CSC can stop motors. In ATTI.
A3 Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) Flight (with GPS module) Definition of Forward Direction: Multi -rotor will fly along this direction when you push the elevator stick. Graphic Description: Forward direction Step1 Before You Start Usually, the forward direction of a flying multi-rotor is the same as the nose direction. By using IOC, wherever the nose points, the forward direction has nothing to do with nose direction.
Step2 IOC Switch Setting Refer to the assistant software; click the “Advanced” to find the “IOC”. Before using the IOC function, you have to choose a 3-position switch on your transmitter as the IOC switch, which is also used for recording the orientation, home position or point of interest in corresponding modes. There are three IOC control mode options, and you should select one in the assistant software.
LED will blink GREEN quickly if Forward Direction recording is successful. LED will blink PURPLE LED will blink CYAN After Home Point is recorded successfully, LED will blink quickly if Home Point recording is successful. quickly if POI recording is successful. continually under below conditions. None of these conditions is omitted. 1. GPS signal is well, the satellites number MC searched is more than 6. 2. Distance between aircraft and the recorded home point is less than 8m. 3.
to POI position Aircraft moving direction when pull pitch stick Home point Aircraft moving direction when pull roll stick Aircraft（the arrow is pointing to the direction of the aircraft nose） IOC FLYING NOTES！ ！！ When Multi-rotor is flying by home lock far away from you and the home point, please DO NOT toggle the IOC switch many times quickly so as to avoid the change of home point without your attention.
A4 FailSafe FailSafe methods include Hover, Go-home, and Altitude Go-home. Choose one as your failsafe method, which will be triggered when the MC loses the control signal in one of the following situations: 1) Signal lost between transmitter and receiver, e.g. multi-rotor is out of the communication range, or transmitter has failed, etc. 2) One or more connections of A, E, T, R, U channels between the MC and receiver is lost.
Flight altitude when fail-safe starts > (reference altitude+20m)，then go-home altitude＝flight altitude when fail-safe starts Flight altitude when fail-safe starts <= (reference altitude+20m)，then go-home altitude＝reference altitude +20m Home Location (Reference longitude, latitude, altitude ) If GPS satellite found >= 6 and last 8s, at the first time you pull the throttle stick, then record Home Location 1 Record Stay hover Signal lost Tx Tx 2 Flight 3 Hover Flight altitude when fail-safe starts >(refe
Switching from Standby to Start will enable go-home during flight and you will no longer have flight control of the Multi rotor. If the multi-rotor is already in a failsafe condition, then the go-home switch will not work. If you switch to Manual Mode or Atti. Mode, (and the multi rotor is not in a fail-safe condition), then the go-home is cancelled and you regain control of the multi copter. Once GPS. Mode is re-selected you can once again use the go-home function.
WM Assistant for Mobile Device Step1 Assemble the LED Bluetooth Module The LED Bluetooth Module is necessary if you are using the WM Assistant. This module is only for the iOS Device, not for android equipment. Its Operating Temperature range is ANT from -5°C to +60°C.

FAQ Fix the TBE (Toilet Bowl Effect) Problem When flying in GPS Mode and the compass calibration has been done correctly, should you find the aircraft rotating (Toilet bowl effect), or drifting when hovering. Please check the GPS module mounting orientation and then re-do the compass calibration. Carry out the following procedure to re-mount the GPS module.
Select Course lock or home lock mode for flying the aircraft into a safe area to land when the aircraft is far away or the attitude can’t be recognized. Even when the multi rotor is rotating, using Course lock or home lock mode will allow you to move the multi rotor in the corresponding Transmitter stick direction. Flight Restriction in Specified Area Description Flight Functions are restricted within the radius of 15Km from Tiananmen Square in Beijing, China.
