@Shain Rufus I feel your frustration. In 2022 Autel released multiple firmware versions, each of which, broke previously working functionality. In July they fixed many of the issues, including the upload mission failure that was introduced in early 2022 with their 2.3.23 release...

@Shain Rufus Our flyaway occurred with an Evo2 V2 Enterprise with RTK module. The controller used was a Smart controller. The Evo was running 2.3.23 and the Smart controller was running the firmware consistent with the 2.3.23 release at the time of the flyaway. We have not flown any of our...

Disappointed by Autel once again. I asked a question of Autel Support, regarding a timeline for the official release of firmware 2.4.15 for V2 and Smart Controller. I received the following response, "We do not currently have a timeline. I apologize for the inconvenience." Admittedly, I don't...

I should have been more clear in my request. I am specifically requesting the official release of 2.4.15 for V2 Smart Controller.

Thank you for the detailed update on this version. @Blade Strike Any update on when Autel plans to move this version from beta to an official release? This release has been in beta for two months now. I'm apprehensive to update until the version has been properly and thoroughly vetted.

I did perform both an IMU and compass calibration. Weather hasn't been conducive to test flights, but I am planning a series of test flights in the coming weeks.

See the attached document that walks through the configuration of the RoboDot. I don't know the range of the LoRa radio on the RoboDot. Robota offers a RoboNode that serves as a repeater, but I am not sure the range. Robota should be able to answer those questions. I also recommend using a...

The 5700 is an older unit. I have used Trimble's GPS Configurator to interface with other receivers from that time period, primarily to send out NMEA from a rover receiver for hydrographic surveys. I'm not sure, provided you can program the 5700 to output a RTCM v3+ via serial port or Lemo...

Everything on the unit, hardware, software, and flight planning, was all Autel. In addition, I cannot find any language in Autel's warranty policy related to autonomous flight. This unit was 10 months old when this event occurred. When reading the terms of the warranty policy, I cannot find...

Trimble's software is only programmed for the Trimble receiver to serve as the NTRIP Caster. The Trimble receiver is configured to broadcast the RTCM corrections. I don't believe the Trimble base can be configured to output the RTCM to a cloud service (e.g. Emlid Caster). The Evo has to...

What Trimble base station are you using? We use Trimble's construction receivers. Currently, I have documentation on both the SPS855 and R750 base station.

We recently experienced a flyaway of our Evo II Enterprise V2 with the RTK module. The Evo was running the latest firmware (2.3.23) and was in a fully autonomous flight mode. We have been using this unit for the last nine months with no issues, except those issues introduced with Autel's...

All firmware updates we have performed on our Evo II Enterprise (6k V2) unit have been via SD card. We place the .zip folder at the root directory of the SD card. We do not extract the .zip. We place neither an extracted file folder nor the individual files at the root directory. Following...

We flew two missions yesterday. Both missions were polygonal mapping missions. One mission required two separate flights to complete. On the first mission, the camera locked up after turning nadir and taking the first image. The flight telemetry continued to behave as normal, including...

We use both a Trimble SPS855 base station and a R750 base station. Each base is from the construction side of Trimble. I cannot guarantee the Survey side of Trimble is identical; however, I suspect the UI is very similar. The 855 receiver does not broadcast a WiFi network. Therefore, we have...
