hewell · Aug 11, 2023

Hello everyone, yesterday came another update to the Autel Explorer APP V2, V2.0.33 for android and V2.0.21 to iOS.
Changelog said: Fixed a few known issues to enhance the system's performance.
I notice the different from V1 than I can't hear "flying to waypoint number".
Happen the same to you?
Thanks.

I recently updated one of my Enterprise V2 drones to Autel Explorer V2 V2.0.33 and V2 Official Firmware to 2.4.43 for V2 Smart Controller. See screen captures below.

The updates seemed to go fine. This morning I flew my first test flight/survey. The first flight and 1st portion of the survey seemed to go fine. No obvious issues, normal operations. The problems started after a battery change.

After changing the battery, I hit RESUME and blue aircraft (Start Mission) symbol. The drone immediately took off with no Pre-Flight Check screen and in FLOAT Positioning (vs FIX) so the drone was not in RTK positioning mode. I let it finish the survey. The drone landed safely. I decided to try and fly a brand new survey. Once I got the Pre-Flight Check screen I noticed it indicated the Flash Storage was Full. This did not make sense to me. Before I started the survey I reformatted the SD card as I do with any new survey. I use only 256GB SD cards. It looks like the Save Location got changed from SD Card to Flash Card. I have never used Flash Card as the Save Location.

Too many issues so I plan to downgrade (rollback) both the Autel Explorer App and the drone firmware to the previous versions. I also submitted these issues to Autel Support.
