DJI Mavic Air - Intelligent Flight Batteries, Autonomy 21 Minutes, High Density Lithium Batteries, Capacity 2375 mAh, Support and Accessory for Mavic Air - Black

Product Information

However, if the drone shows some lights but won’t fully turn on, you might be able to connect it with your PC and refresh or update the firmware Hi Nigel, I’m Kerry. I read where you said there are other ways to wake up hibernatingbatteries. I tried your posted procedure but nothing, I have no lights green or any color even after waiting hours. Here we are using Arduino NANO board, you can even use Arduino UNO as well the pins are same and very simple. Just take 3 jumper wires and connect them. So in this case the A4 from Arduino which is SDA is connected to Pin 5 of battery and A5 from Arduino which is SCL is connected to Pin 6. And finally the GND pin from Arduino is connected to any of the 1,2,3,4 pins. Arduino Code: Another feature aimed at helping photographers is SmartPhoto; the Mavic Air 2 will be able to recognize five categories of scenes — such as sunsets, blue skies, grass, snow, and trees — and optimize the camera settings accordingly.

Your drone is a complex machine with a lot of electronics built into it and a software layer that coordinates everything. It is possible for it to develop bugs and software glitches at times. Unfortunately, I get the impression they are rushing development and issues are surfacing in the consumer's hands. They've put so much resources into development that they possibly cannot afford to make these things right despite are ultimately their responsibility. As a consume I cannot afford to take on their R&D risk nor would I want to. I use this hardware to for business and I need it to be reliable not to troubleshoot or pay for what isn't caught by their engineers. DJI claims the Mavic Air 2’s flight time is 34 minutes under ideal conditions; that’s 14 minutes longer than the Mavic Air, and a few minutes longer than the Mavic Mini.When DJI ship your drone, the batteries are put in a special sleep mode called ‘hibernation’. Before you can use your battery, you have to ‘wake them up’. The Mavic Air 2 can record video up to 4K at 60 frames per second, twice that of the Air, which maxed out at 4K/30 fps. It can also record 4X and 8X slow-motion video, as well as 1080p video at 240 fps. The Air 2 can also capture HDR video, but the max resolution for this mode is 4K/30fps.

If you are turning your drone ON for the first time after arrival, chances are that your drone batteries are in hibernation. The DJI Mavic Air battery won’t work when the temperature drops below 14 °F (-10 °C). If you are flying in an area where the temperature is below freezing point, that could be the reason. The price is for one battery and if you need more than one repaired then please select the right quantity. You must have heard the term “ have you tried turning it off & on again” in IT industry. Well, it works and we can try the same with our drone.

The second-generation DJI Mavic Air 2 drone offers a number of new photo and video tricks and excellent flight time.

All batteries have temperature limits under which they operate. If your battery is too cold, it will simply stop discharging and your drone will not turn on. The aircraft takes off and flies 30 m above the ground. When the aircraft flies within 20 m from the Home Point, the senor will scan the terrain. When the current terrain matches with the Home Point's terrain, the aircraft will land.

After uploading the code open serial monitor in Arduino IDE at a baud rate of 115200. There you see the output as below screenshot. The controller also has an improved 10km transmission range, so you can feasibly fly the drone up to six miles away, and still get a clear picture on your smartphone’s display. Of course, you should only fly a drone where you can still see it, but it’s a pretty impressive range. While the Mavic Air never went more than 400 feet away from me, I never noticed any interference or interruption of the feed from the camera. DJI Mavic Air 2: Camera features If you tried all the troubleshooting steps and are still here with your Mavic Air that won’t turn on, it’s probably time to call the professionals. LiPo batteries are quite resistant to physical deformation but a drone crash can impact the batteries severely. They can de-shape, deform or even the internal circuitry gets damaged. If you recently crashed your drone or dropped your battery accidentally, there is a good chance of physical damage to your battery.To fix this, you can use a Can of compressed air to blow out the dirt. Angle the compressed air at 45° and blow all around the button. It should remove any and all dust particles. If the battery is damaged, you should immediately dispose it of as using it is a fire/explosion hazard. Faulty power button Again, a simple but common mistake on part of new users. If you are trying to fly a drone with a fully drained battery, the drone will simply not turn on. From the about pin diagram you can see there are 10 pins numbered from right to left. The first 4 right pins are for Ground( GND) and the pins 7,8,9,10 are positive terminals. The between pins 5 and 6 are SDA and SCL respectively. There are the Data pins which can communicate through SMBus and I2C communication protocols. This has been a problem with DJI drones since the P2 Vision Plus. With that if you didn't power it up for a flight every 3 months the FW on the Transmission card would decay and erase.

If you see a low charge on your battery (only the first LED is blinking) that means you need to charge your battery first before you can fly your drone. Battery in hibernation In the morning, connect your battery again and try turning it ON again and see if it works. Refresh the firmware

This service is only for DJI Mavic Air batteries that do not charge, when connected to a charger they do not show any green LED's or one LED flashes. Once your battery is out of hibernation, put it in your drone and turn it ON. If hibernation was the issue, it should turn ON now. Battery terminals & compartment is dirty Similar to your battery, your drone’s internal circuitry can also get damaged if you recently crashed your drone or worse crashed it into a water body (lake, river, etc.) Similar to previous models, the Mavic Air 2 can take HDR photos, but the Air 2 takes a series of seven photos to blend together, versus three for the original Air. DJI Mavic Air 2: Video features If your drone is completely off with no sign of life whatsoever, it’s difficult to update the firmware.
