New firmware available v1.1.9
- Thread starter VoicOfReason
- Start date
Nothing new - they started puting this caveat in from 1.1.6 - I am sure it is not going to be a problem to install previous versions if you missed any
They did let you know, if you read the release notes is specifically says you can skip updating the controller as there are no changes for it.
2. Users may skip updating the remote controller if they have already updated the firmware to v1.1.8, as the latest firmware update does not affect the remote controller.
Anybody know if the update has sorted the 0 height reading in failsafe, or are we still waiting for a IOS App update for that. I'm hoping this update will be to fix the sonic sensor error at altitude which should not be happening as we all know. Who out of us that has had a sonic sensor error is going to be brave enough to turn VPS back on and let us know if it still pops up. robinb are you going to pop it back on and give it another go.

I followed the full procedure and fired up everything as if doing a flight.
Interesting for me is that the screen said firmware version 1.19 when I first powered up the P3P with the upgrade on the quad. This suggests that the preboot loads the new code and loads it when it first sees the new firmware. Update took 8ish minutes with the camera making the power on tones 3-4 times (obviously I wasn't really paying attention).

Just went through with the update, it took me closer to 10 minutes. I heard the power on sound at least 3 times although it never turned off. The lights turned off at one point and the gimbal went limp. It stayed like that for at least 3 minutes although it felt longer because I thought something went terribly wrong. Never got the controller to update but apparently I don't need to so all is well.
Mine took about 8 minutes as well. Camera went limp for about 3 of those minutes and all the lights went off for about 1 minutes. Kinda freaked me out. But then it power cycled came up and had the typical beeping pattern letting me know that it was complete. TXT file on the SD card says successful, and all is well. Just longer than normal.

This may help explain "Root" for newer users to Mac.
Think of the root directory as the SD card before anything is put on it. No folders or other files, just a clean blank card.
When you move your first file onto the card you are moving it into the root directory. If you create any folders and move files into them, then those files are not in the root directory, but the folder you created is.
Hope this helps.

Good explanation. One correction... "root" is device/os agnostic.
A more philosophical explanation (and how it actually came to be known as the "root") -- Think of a tree. Every tree begins at it's root, and branches out to leaves. A file structure is also a tree, where the base directory is the root, and each folder/sub-folder is considered a branch/leaf.
Yes, and it flew fine.
I suggest anyone with concerns or difficulties about updating to watch this video:
It does help clarify exactly what the different beeps really sound like.
