Hi everyone. New to the Autel but been flying full time for almost 7 years. Our company just bought an Enterprise Bundle and the separate RTK module and will be using it for topographic surveys and planimetrics. It has been a long drawn out process of a day dealing with Smart Controller to AirCraft connections, firmwares and tablet software. Our unit was rushed so apparently it didn't go through all the the QC it should. The SC was not paired to the AC and SC software was at least 3 versions behind. Finally broke down and loaded the latest AC F/W via mSD card and got everything connected. TIP for anyone out there that needs to sideload the aircraft firmware with an mSD card that you will still get prompted by the software to update even though it is the same version on OTA that is already loaded and it will break it. Then you have to do what is starting to seem like a default for the setup and Android reset the tablet to get them to talk to each other again. After hours and hours of reboots, setting up the interface, finding several ways to break to connections I finally got it to where it is pretty solid but there are a couple of problems remaining.
First, when I compare the F/W versions to what I got to work the individual component version do not exactly match what is shown on the table on Autel's site that is the "official" list. No consequence for right now as it will fly but
Second but more importantly we cannot fly a mission. Planning is easy and it appears to upload to the AC fine but when it gets ready to launch it says "Failed to Start the Mission". Happens with and without RTK.
