    NEW RELEASE: Autel Smart Controller for EVO II

    To be more specific my file transfers were: PC -> Memory Stick Memory Stick -> Smart Controller (I haven't tried cabling directly). On the SC I used the little standard file explorer app that comes pre-installed on the controller. Hope this helps!

    NEW RELEASE: Autel Smart Controller for EVO II

    Haven't tried it. The A port is good enough for me. If I have any device (other than a charger) with a C connection I'll give it a try.

    NEW RELEASE: Autel Smart Controller for EVO II

    I've used the USB A slot on the rear of the Smart Controller to transfer files from my PC to the Smart Controller- works great - so I'm assuming the USB C port (right next to the USB A slot I used) would work as well.

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    I did. I don't think the calibration option shows on Google Maps in the SC unless Google Services is installed so that is a no go right now. I tried the same on the Tripletek and I have the calibration option, but no matter how many times I calibrate it does not work. Tripletek suggested a...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    When you tap the button (highlighted in the attachment) the map toggles between two modes: 1.) Top of screen is NORTH 2.) Top of screen is THE DIRECTION YOU (not the Drone) ARE FACING. When in this mode the map rotates if YOU do. Obtained from the android/SC compass. Mode 2 works (rotates)...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    I edited my post and put a screenshot of the button in the map (circled in red) that I'm referring to. I hope I can get this sorted out - like I said - the Tripletek does exactly the same thing - and I never did fix it. ?

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    So, I have a question for current Smart Controller owners regarding compass calibration on the Smart Controller / Map (NOT the DRONE COMPASS). I have noticed that when I go into the MAP on the Smart Controller and tap the MAP ORIENTATION button on the map (looks like a compass needle with an...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    I am currently running a Tripletek rig (with the SkyFire Ariel). Here's some thoughts if you are interested. The reasons I would prefer the SC are as follows: 1.) Weight/Balance - the Tripltek rig (even without a signal booster) is VERY heavy and feels unbalanced to hold during flight. I fly...

    NEW RELEASE: Autel Smart Controller for EVO II

    There are so many discrepancies between the published specs and the real controller! I did NOT cancel my order - but I PLACED the prepaid order (based on the specs that were PUBLISHED INFORMATION) on 4-19-2021. The product as it is today doesn't come close to meeting those specs. The...

    Evo 2 altitude calculation

    I've not used the mission planner yet, but didn't a recent firmware update provide the ability to use MSL altitude? Would that be applicable to your situation?

    NEW RELEASE: Autel Smart Controller for EVO II

    Yet another time we have been mislead by published specifications. Autel has removed this from the specifications on their website (I believe it used to be listed). The other attachment shows it listed on a vendor website. I ordered (Prepaid) based upon specifications published on the order...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    One thing that worries me about the engineering of the Smart Controller is the resolution of the screen combined with a spec of 2000 nits brightness is going to generate alot of heat - I hope the cooling vents / fan can keep the temperature down and that they use high quality components...

    Notice From Autel About Controllers and Compatibility in the Future

    In some of the interviews with Randall Warnas (new Autel CEO), I've heard him talk about how Autel needs to do things DIFFERENTLY than DJI. I TRULY HOPE he lives up to those statements - especially regarding NFZ enforcement. If he and Autel do not - than I see no real difference between an EVO...
