New fw v1.5.0.30 released now - 07.12.2015

No - there was a firmware bug in the battery algorithm which incorrectly calculated the depletion curve of the packs. This has now been addressed.
 
I downloaded the latest firmware last night (1.5.0.30)and spent all last night and the best part of today trying to get it loaded. On inserting the disk and switching on the drone, I just got a steady flashing light rather than the usual beep sounds etc. I tried I don't know how many times formatting the disk and retrying only for the same issue to repeat. The camera screen still informed me of upgrade required. I finally managed to get it loaded, but with a message on the screen "reformatting is suggested" and also despite repeated calibrations, still have some of the readings way out and still requiring calibration. Anyone else have this issue and more importantly a fix? DJI are saying they are not aware of the issue, but I have seen some posts detailing the same issue.
 

I have had a similar problem. My Inspire will not update to 1.5 either, all I'm getting is that and update is required on my RC. I do the usual stuff to update and i get nothing, no beeping, nothing. I also would like to know if there is anyone with a solution.
 
Best if you also contact DJI as they are telling me they are not aware of the issue and I should return my drone for repair. Not confirmed that it would be repaired under warranty!! It's obviously a problem with the firmware.....

Try formatting the SD card in the camera rather than your computer, then copy the .bin file onto the SD card and try to update again. This solved my reformat message I was getting on screen and I think it may solve your issue.

Mr Editor, do you have any suggestions?
 
OK, I have been doing updates since last December with no issues. I have my personal Inspire and an Inspire used for work. I upgraded the firmware as usual on my work airframe, both RCs and all batteries no issues. I then went and upgraded on my personal airframe. Exact same way I did my work airframe. Got the D..DD, and shut down. Went to upgrade RC and no camera image. It has a green light on the RC but at the home screen it does not say connected. I can move the camera and put it into travel mode but no picture and no notification to update the RC. Just stays on "Disconnected" DJI GO is up to date as well. Nothing I do will get it to connect and give me a picture. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Maybe this has been covered, I haven't read the entire thread, but mine won't take updates from the 64gb cards I normally fly with. I have to use the 4gb card that came with the inspire. I am pretty sure it has to do with the formatting limits that the firmware will accept.

Also, after each update, I deleted everything but the bin file for the subsequent updates, getting rid of the log files and folders that booting creates.
 

Yep, I always clean off all the old stuff before updating, It doesn't seem to be a airframe issue, it seems to be a RC issue.
 
Can anyone report if the drift issue has improved please? I have my CASA assessment on Friday but daren't load this in case it goes wrong and grounds me. I've never had a problem with updates before but there's a first time for everything and today isn't it! Thanks
 
Hi Lofty,

After update I had some issues with drift, stability and height. I suggest you make sure you can complete all the tests in ATTITUDE mode then you have a backup.

Given your test is soon I don't recommend updating until after. To risky now with limited time and what if the update doesn't work properly you might not be able to fly!
 
Thanks ARF, I will certainly hold off till after the test. It's a pretty windy day here in Perth today but I managed all the manoeuvres in Atti When i was practicing so should be fine. I'm just hoping the thing doesn't lock me out for not updating as I've heard before. Cheers
 
Does the f"ollow me" function work? I kept getting "gps signal to weak", but I could set my home point to the controller fine. I was also above the 10m height so am I missing something?
 
Wifi, I thought it used the gps from the controller?

You need to have cellular.

Not necessarily, you don't need cellular. You need a tablet that has GPS enabled. I use both an Ipad Mini and Android. Neither have cellular, the Ipad has no GPS and the Android has GPS. The Follow-me did not work with Ipad but did work with android. That said, if you have an Ipad, perhaps you need cellular to also have the GPS capability.

Yes, only the cellular iPad has GLONASS. You can't have GPS in an iPad unless it is cellular or has a 3rd party addon.
