    Smart Controller Update Procedures & 3rd Party App Install

    It's possible. I was sitting 1 foot from my router with my SC, phone was 6 inches away from router so signal strength was as high as it gets. I can't remember if the SC was connected to the drone(drone on) at the time.

    Smart Controller Update Procedures & 3rd Party App Install

    I had to use my phone as a wireless hot spot and the controller connected to that. My phone was connected to the same wireless network the smart controller wouldn't connect to. 🤷‍♂️

    What Hard Drives do you Like?

    I like the redundant ones I have mirroring my important data! 😁 Honestly, I have had great luck with Seagate and WD over the years. The only failure I have experienced was due to a lightning strike right next to my house. The "surge protector" didn't help at all. It knocked out my power supply...

    SC gimbal does not work.

    I did a factory reset on mine after it failed to connect to the internet through my wireless network and I couldn't find another solution. It was identical after the reset as when I first opened it and turned it on. In other words, the factory reset accomplished nothing. All of my problems...

    You have to update the UAV firmware OTA or it won't work! Ask me how I know! Do not update the firmware by sd card or you will be in the same boat.

    Smart Controller from Autelpilot

    The only thing mine didn't do correctly was connect to the internet through my wireless network. Full strength signal tried boht frequencies, nothing. Had to turn my phone into a hot spot and then it connected to the internet and after several failed attempts at OTA firmware, I used the SD card...

    Smart Controller Update Procedures & 3rd Party App Install

    Yeah.... I have 3 other Samsung devices, a printer, my wife's I-phone, dish network, thermostat, and a couple of laptops that all connect instantly. This controller is the only one that says "connected-no internet".

    Smart Controller Update Procedures & 3rd Party App Install

    I got it to connect to my router on three different channels but all say "no internet" I tried my phone as a hotspot and it connected. I have no idea why! Every other device in the house connects to my home network with internet every single time. Very strange. Even more strange, it uploaded to...

    Compatible Screen Protector for the Smart Controller ???

    This is what @advexure posted: A warning to all folks unboxing their SC units. As you will see in this picture below, the screen comes with a screen protector installed on it already but it has a tab (seen in upper left of display) to pull away a film on the screen protector. We pulled the tab...

    Compatible Screen Protector for the Smart Controller ???

    Pretty sure it's already got one installed. Advexure had posted about this quite a while ago. They accidently peeled the cover off to fast and lifted the edge of the screen protector on their unboxing day.

    Smart Controller Update Procedures & 3rd Party App Install

    Maybe that explains it. I am stuck on November 4 2007 a day before it came to life. I will look again in the morning and see if it thinks it is it's birthday!

    Smart Controller Update Procedures & 3rd Party App Install

    Just got my smart controller and connected it to my wifi but can't get it to do anything. No internet access at all even with full signal. The date and time are stuck in November 2007. Can't check app version or anything else. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!
