The small drift issue after upgrading Evo II’s firmware to v2.5.0.

[AdamJ1555]

I’m still drifting right and left... reconsidering a 40k investment in thermal aircraft. Suddenly the ANAFI USA may be where we spend our money. Definitely holding on buying any more Autel for now.

Recalibrated Control’s and compass multiple times... seems to be wind related. Just too much drift for a $10k investment.

I normally recalibrate everything after an FW update and did it this time but got the drift to the left.
I went back and recalibrated the controller and compass and that seems to have fixed the problem.
Now, to work on the distance. I’m guessing that to get the type of distance advertised, you’ll need to either to to the Texas Panhandle or the Salt Plains.

Edit: I looked at the videos from this morning and after the calibrations, the Evo 2 is still drifting to the left. I think I’ll call Autel to let them know.

I just called Autel, talked to Thomas and told him what my Evo 2 was doing and also told him that there were others on this forum experiencing the same.
Thomas says it is good for everyone to call in and report what is going on with your drone as the more that call, the sooner a FW update will come so please take the time to call 1-844-6928835.

I'm unable to escape the drift to the left too, no matter how many times I calibrate or how long I fly. I also called Autel and mentioned this thread in my ticket, as well as the cracks thread which I also discovered on both sides of my fuselage in the same spot everyone else has. Can't catch a break all of a sudden.

I'm having a significant drift problem. Has there been any updates?

Hi EVO 2 users,

Thank you to the users that reported the small drift issue after upgrading Evo II’s firmware to v2.5.0. We have confirmed the drift only occurs during the first couple of minutes into your flight. The problem is caused by intense interference to the compass. Performing a compass calibration will help to alleviate the problem significantly.
Below are our test results before and after a compass calibration for your reference. After the calibration, we found only a slight drift when starting the flight. Our engineers are still working on reducing the possibility of the compass being interfered with in a future firmware update.
For compass calibration, you need to open your Autel Explorer app, go to Settings, select Flight Control, and you will see Compass Calibration on the right. You may also refer to the compass calibration instruction video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7lMPaf0mLE.
If you still encounter the drift issue after calibration, please contact our technical support team: give us a call at 1-844-MY-AUTEL (692-8835), email us at [email protected], or chat with us online at auteldrones.com.
Thank you for your continued support!

Seems they are working on this problem.
