Dji inspire 1 advice please

The forecast and the app said 9-10 knots but it dealt alot more to the point that I was about to pack up and go home.

Thought I would post this in here as I think itā€™s related.

I have just tested the inspire for the first time since I had the above issues. Upon take of i get a message saying ultrasonic systems error land immediately

Did they get damaged during the forced landing?

Guide on replacement if needed can be found here.

If it did its not obvious, I just done a quick ebay search and there are none listed that I could find. Any other suggestions?

@macspite was breaking an Inspire for spares recently

What happens if you simply turn off the VPS in your app? Do you still get the errors?

Thanks, I will try switching it off tomorrow.

@macspite would you happen to have one knocking around?

Yes. And I have just spent an enjoyable evening trying to wrap a case in cardboard :slight_smile: Try switchig it off and on again tomorrow and let us know the result/

I tested the inspire today only low level (3-4m) as I left the charged batteries at home :man_facepalming: it did not show the error message again but it seemed to wonder slightly and I was adjusting its position instead of it being fixed in one position. Is there a way of calabrating the VPS. I did a sensor calabration last night not sure if this includes vps.

I havenā€™t had the need to calibrate the VPS myself but Iā€™ve found a DJI video on doing it for the P4 which has a similar system How to Calibrate the Vision Positioning System on DJI Phantom 4 - YouTube

While you are at it Iā€™d give both the IMU and the compass a workout.

Calibrating IMU: https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/how-to-calibrate-the-dji-inspire-1-drone/ Also covers compass calibration - which you do religiously before every flight, right? :slight_smile:

Iv just watched this vid thanks I will do this tomorrow hopefully.

I calabrated the IMU last night this is done through the app of Iā€™m not mistaken.

I tried this today and either I am missing something or there Is no assistant software for the inspire 1. The one I downloaded didnā€™t recognise it when I plugged it in.

My bad, That article was from 2015 and was using DJI Pilot software which has been superceded by DJI GO. Here is a very bored sounding American telling you how to use the current software:

I am starting to realise why I got this inspire 1 for so cheap :man_facepalming::man_facepalming:.

No major issues just a few little niggling issues. I have had intermittent video transmission problems and at one point I couldnā€™t get any video through to the screen.

I had a good luck at the gimble mount, the gimble itself and the camera. Changed the USB lead, tried a different phone.

I decided to have a look inside the gimble itself and found one of the flat wire connections has at some point been crimped. I have released it and straightend it out and now the camera works again for now. But I can only assume that will fail again
