weird situation today: went up with my spark, like 100m, suddenly height= 0 m was show, couldn't descend. wtf? after couple of minutes height switched back to actual height and -I could descend. what happened there?

did anybody ever try/confirm if dji.configs_force_boost* has any effect on a spark?
[2018-02-20 14:18:15]
validat0r :
I just updated <http://dji.retroroms.info/faq/version/spark>

If you have additional changelog information, please add

another FYI on flight records on AC with mixed f/w: downgraded my Spark to .0300 and upgraded to .0900 without modules 305/306 and, again, no FLYxxx.DAT are produced.
[2018-03-09 13:20:59]
validat0r :
my best guess is, that newer version of dji_vision is incompatible with FC on ver .0300
[2018-03-09 14:40:31]
validat0r :
can live without the AC's flight log .. but it sucks not to have g_config_bat_config_enable_smart_bat_landing_portect = 0
[2018-03-09 14:41:22]
validat0r :
I so wish to have a way to get rid of the height limit on current 305/306 modules

Anyone <!here> that has got a problem with intermittent cinema mode working properly? I noticed that sometimes camera roll is very visible in cinematic mode and sometimes it works fine - all works fine all the time but gimbal movements like roll is random, I have to uninstall and install app again and maybe it works fine. Cinametic mode is super useful for scenes where AC is flying sideways, but this bug is very annoying and makes spark shootages a crap.
[2018-07-14 18:16:50]

Did anyone @here have a look at Red Waypoint (for spark)? It's in the Google play store
[2018-07-14 19:40:18]

Don't bother. Not good.

Does anyone <!here> knows a site where you can find hardware mods based on the dji spark... looking expecially for body improvements or rebuilds with a different body/framing

This is a great way to upgrade your FC to e.g. .0900 and keep all your mods (e.g. alt limit)

mstalzer :
@ilovemynexus4 is this patching method the same as the one as the NLD NFZ? or different?
[2018-09-02 16:28:50]
validat0r :
Same same, but different
[2018-09-02 16:31:48]
mstalzer :
:slightly_smiling_face: i'm looking for alternates to test what's wrong with my spark NFZ, so i'm going to try this out
[2018-09-02 16:50:52]
validat0r :
What seems to be wrong with it?
[2018-09-02 16:51:47]
validat0r :
And this has nothing to do with nfz.
[2018-09-02 16:54:29]
markusfriedl :
one qick question..... the flight logs can be found in /blackbox/flyctrl?
[2018-09-02 16:55:52]
validat0r :
If there are FLYxxx.DAT files, yes
[2018-09-02 16:56:23]
markusfriedl :
ok thank you.. there are files.. just wondering why there is always one date on all the files
[2018-09-02 16:56:33]
validat0r :
These are AC flight logs .. There are flight logs on the smartphone too

[2018-09-02 16:58:31]
markusfriedl :
thank you... but just need the ones from the aircraft... but as i said the have alle the same date
[2018-09-02 16:58:39]
markusfriedl :
bit strange....
[2018-09-02 16:59:08]
markusfriedl :
time is different but date is the same
[2018-09-02 16:59:08]
validat0r :
That's odd
[2018-09-02 16:59:42]
validat0r :
Well if you switched on/off your AC for a couple of times today that's normal
[2018-09-02 16:59:44]
markusfriedl :
indeed... and i'm sure i flew after the last timestamp as well
[2018-09-02 17:00:34]
validat0r :
Older ones get erased. You have to copy them from the AC to a safe location if you want to keep them.
[2018-09-02 17:00:40]
validat0r :
They get quite big.
[2018-09-02 17:01:03]
validat0r :
And only 2GB available on the volume they are kept IIRC
[2018-09-02 17:02:08]
validat0r :
It's not important if you take off .. They start being recorded the instance you power on the AC
[2018-09-02 17:02:24]
markusfriedl :
any good programm for linux/ubuntu to read them?
[2018-09-02 17:02:29]

mstalzer :
my spark issue is NFZ related - when i'm on 0300 version firmware i can do the old NFZ removal and it works fine. When I use the NLD client, upgrade to 0900, and remove NFZ that way I still get grounded by NFZ
[2018-09-02 17:14:00]
mstalzer :
i have a crystalsky with the NLD 4.1.22CS on it, so that shouldn't be the issue
[2018-09-02 17:14:18]
mstalzer :
I live inside the washington DC NFZ, so i wonder if that's registering outside the normal NFZ database
[2018-09-02 17:19:44]
mstalzer :
it looks like in that process linked above you can remove NFZ and the NFZ check - there are variables for the special NFZs, but not sure if they will work. going to try it soon I think.
[2018-09-02 17:25:46]
validat0r :
nfz checks are twofold .. one is on the AC (defeated by nld) and one is in the app (also defeated by nld) .. but you would have to ask in ~nld for that
[2018-09-02 17:32:20]
mstalzer :
i put a message there too. was curious about this method since it does have a step for removing NFZ
[2018-09-02 17:32:37]
mstalzer :
but if this is the same process they've automated, then not much more to do on that
[2018-09-15 12:58:24]
markusfriedl :
DJI_FC_Patcher worked for Spark... have now more Sats... checked the NFZ as well but there are a lot of entries... how do i remove the nfz completely? deleting the db doesn't allow AC to take off.
[2018-09-15 13:00:19]
markusfriedl :
is deleting the rows alone possible or does sig file checks this as well?
[2018-09-15 19:27:53]
markusfriedl :
@channel does anyone have an idea?
[2018-09-15 19:30:04]
nocommie :
careful with the all channel use. Good way to get banned. I suggest you check the !wiki and do some research instead of messaging EVERYONE
[2018-09-15 19:43:01]
markusfriedl :
@nocommie sry didn't want to abuse the channel.. i tried wiki but the article <http://dji.retroroms.info/howto/nfzbypass?s[]=nfz> states "Spark coming soon" but as far as i registered there are already spark pilots that could delete the db entries

[2018-10-23 15:02:42]

but with the currently available FC_patcher the related parameters should be altered for 500+ heights

Lol and i am enthusiastic about 744 yards
[2018-10-26 10:48:25]
validat0r :
@lowellfoo780 is this with csc-descent or extra-batt?
[2018-10-26 10:52:19]
validat0r :
having 41% bat @ 3330m looks like bat mod
[2018-10-27 04:56:26]
lolo780 :
29%.
[2018-10-27 04:56:43]
lolo780 :
Usual spark lagging data.
[2018-10-27 04:57:19]
lolo780 :
No CSC descent, just fly back normally, 10m/s down uses very little power.

Is it possible to enable FCC on the Spark? i only have ios
[2018-12-11 12:29:37]
poopnondji :
You mean boost?
[2018-12-11 12:29:59]
validat0r :
there's no boost on spark
[2018-12-11 12:30:02]
validat0r :
only fcc mode
[2018-12-11 12:30:28]
nabelo :
yes, im talking about FCC
[2018-12-11 12:31:41]
validat0r :
i know of no way, but i'm android only. but there is some ios modding stuff going on in ~ios_ipa_reversing which i dont follow
[2018-12-11 12:32:00]
validat0r :
not sure if you'll need a jailbreak for that or not
[2018-12-11 12:32:54]
validat0r :
getting a cheap android phone for flying your spark might be a thing to think about
[2018-12-11 12:33:13]

removing nfz from spark should be twofold: in the app and on the AC, too

validat0r :
any particular reason for removing nfz?
[2019-02-06 13:37:32]

oke so just like the mavic you must also delete NFZ on AC

yes , it's on the edge

so it's a app only problem, the AC won't prohibit you from flying?

Hi. What Spark's parameter/-s have to be changed in NLD Client to get smoother yaw movement? There are many parameters including the word "yaw". Has only the basic_gain_yaw which is set to 50 (min 20, max 100) to be reduced, or more parameters also have to be changed?

Hi. What parameters should be changed to reduce yaw speed in Spark using NLD client app?
[2019-02-21 18:35:32]
boris.plintovic :
Why parameter? Go to asisstant and change diagram of rc stick. P is gps mode, S sport mode. Change to 0.15 and you have better control of yaw.

Hello, I'm Jesse, I just joined this slack channel. I was wondering if anyone here attempted to install Ubuntu/ROS on the Spark. I've been tinkering with a 1/32 scale rc car and the AIY vision bonnet on a raspberry pi, and I think the spark is a highly attractive alternative option if ROS is available for it.

Ambarella already runs linux. Not sure about Leadcore. Movidius has a bare metal solution. Yeah, the main question is which chip do you want custom software on. This is not Parrot where one chip rules all.
[2019-03-05 20:24:07]

Oh right, how could I forget - Leadcore runs stripped down Android. And it is the chip with most cpu power.

I just inherited another spark. On my 1st spark, I have the FC modded with the FC patcher script. On the 2nd spark, I just downgraded the fw to .0900 and want to use the same modded fw without having to run the script from the beginning. So...... since I already have the modded fw, can it also be used on the 2nd spark?

validat0r :
I have no practical experience but from what I hear you can upgrade the RC's antennas and even the ACs and maybe use some kind of signal booster
[2019-05-21 01:17:49]
nikogpsy :
Swap out stock RC antennas for something like 4hawks XR and some have attached external antennas on the AC. You can add a Sunhans boosters for even better range.
For me 5.8ghz works the best in my usual flying spots. I simply use a hx-link rabbit ear type antenna on the RC and have almost tripled my range in my neighborhood.
[2019-05-21 01:24:00]

Nice @nikogpsy can you share picture. Thanks

Howdy y'all, I recently picked up a Spark and went through patching the FCs parameters, for a sportier sport mode. I was wondering if anybody else who did this had a prop fail shortly afterward? Happened to me and I'm not sure if it's more to do with the parameters or tumble it took off a table onto a semi-soft surface previously.
[2019-06-26 02:13:09]
glhs958 :
I have never had a prop fail due to anything other then my own mishaps.
[2019-06-26 02:31:15]
michael470 :
Yeah, I have to assume it was the fall that did it, I've run it through some more spirited flying with new props and haven't recreated the damage I saw on the first ones.

boris.plintovic :
1min is 90mAh
1g is -2s
Spark bat is 1480mAh 13.05V
mAir bat is 2375mAh 13.2V
Spark bat and mAir bat diferent: +15g and +895mAh
With mAir bat must have 23+ min flight time.
I have setup spark bat + mAir bat 30min and with mAir motors on Spark 33min.
Now i try setup spark bat + mAir bat + mAir motors + short mAir props.

Have you thought of raising opposite motors to use stock air props?
[2019-07-17 15:09:04]
validat0r :
I did that a couple of months ago. Wasn't performant on spark motors, but if you have air motors anyway ...
[2019-07-17 15:42:33]
markusfriedl :
Think difference between the batteries is more than 15g. Even without casing ma battery is about 120g and spark battery about 95 with casing. Reached 19min flight time with stripped MA battery on spark.
[2019-07-17 15:44:20]
markusfriedl :
Is there a performance inprovement by just using MA motors with only spark battery
[2019-07-17 15:45:31]
validat0r :
good question .. MA motors are designed for bigger props .. I saw that with MA props and spark motors. I suspect them being not as efficient with "wrong" props, but let's hear @boris.plintovic
[2019-07-17 16:20:41]
boris.plintovic :
MA motors are stronger
And have higher Kv (rpm/V) less volts at same rpm as Spark motor
[2019-07-17 16:24:21]
boris.plintovic :
Spark motor is 2100Kv
MA motor is 2300Kv
That is plus 10%
Therefore i achieve 30min with spark motors and 33min with MA motors, same weight, same props, same bat
[2019-07-17 17:12:23]
markusfriedl :

boris.plintovic :
Nr of fw before you installing fc patcher?
[2019-08-07 06:54:14]
jemo07 :
Ok, quick question, since I’m in the middle of fitting the FC into a custom frame, I don’t have the battery connected to the FC, so the question is, when I connect the usb plug into the FC, does this thing boot up completely? I say that because throwing all I got into the pads, I did not see any data or change in voltage... Probed it with my Fluke, Black Magic (clones made from STM32 sticks) or Pirate Bus.

concerning CSC inflight with spark .. I always was under the impression, you can shut off motors midair with the spark, too, as with mavic and the rest .. turns out, by many accounts in the interwebbs, midair csc works only if "abnormity was detected by the APP" (DJI Susan)
[2019-08-07 16:47:15]
validat0r :
ok, this is amazing .. with g_config.rc_cfg.stop_motor_type set to 2 you can even simulate a midair CSC plus subsequent restart of the motors in the GO 4 simulator

brett.e.burkhart :
Remember to make the restart motors when inverted parameters set to one which you have to do before compiling the FC. The SIM doesn't ever make the drone flip so it always works in the sim

On ALI you can now buy cells for MA, MP and P4 batteries. The best ratio of capacity to weight, have MA and P4. You can use the EV2300, unlock the board, and write new total capacity. VincentNg thus produced a battery for MP, 6 cells from P4 3S2P, with complete telemetry.

Spark hardware (probably?) problem: It stopped working on it's own. I was flying it the other day, wanted to fly it again but it doesn't sync with the controller. It also doesn't show up on the PC. Anyone had the same issue and could tell me where to start looking around? I couldn't find anything visibly broken, power rails seem to be fine (at least not shorted) but I don't have working board to compare
[2020-07-01 12:47:11]
webhdx :
It charges the battery via microUSB so charge controller seems to be responding, not sure which IC manages USB data connection (the ARM CPU?)
[2020-07-01 12:48:09]
webhdx :
And it blinks yellow as it wants to connect. Doesn't respond to button press to force resyncing
[2020-07-01 12:49:13]
validat0r :
Tried the various resets via long press on the bat?
[2020-07-01 12:50:22]
webhdx :
Yes and it doesn't respond with beeps
[2020-07-01 12:50:36]
validat0r :
Odd
[2020-07-01 12:50:46]
webhdx :
Anyone did power rails mapping and could share the pictures?
[2020-07-01 12:50:54]
validat0r :
Maybe bat is dead?
[2020-07-01 12:51:05]
validat0r :
Try different bat?
[2020-07-01 12:51:28]
webhdx :
Don't have different battery but it seems to be fine - charges, can power up the drone etc.
[2020-07-01 12:51:51]
webhdx :
I can try powering it with bench power supply
[2020-07-01 12:52:01]
webhdx :
but power doesn't seem like a problem to me
[2020-07-01 12:52:08]
validat0r :
I'd telnet to the rc, get the air pwd, adb to ac and check if same air pwd is configured .. But that's just me
[2020-07-01 12:52:38]
webhdx :
Can't adb to Aircraft, it doesn't show up on the PC at all :disappointed:
[2020-07-01 12:52:53]
webhdx :
so something is not starting up
[2020-07-01 12:53:01]
validat0r :
Probably
[2020-07-01 12:53:39]
webhdx :
not sure what is controlling the LEDs/yellow blinking. Is it ARM?
[2020-07-01 12:54:31]
bin4ry :
dmesg popping anything ?
[2020-07-01 12:54:39]
webhdx :
nope
[2020-07-01 12:54:45]
webhdx :
USB is completely dead
[2020-07-01 12:54:51]
webhdx :
accepts power because it charges the battery
[2020-07-01 12:55:00]
webhdx :
but no data
[2020-07-01 12:55:16]
bin4ry :
hmm m
[2020-07-01 12:56:00]
webhdx :
I mean the drone was water damaged (fully submerged in the lake), fixed then crashed as one motor died mid air
[2020-07-01 12:56:19]
webhdx :
fixed again, worked great, wanted to do another test flight - dead
[2020-07-01 12:56:53]
webhdx :
this one is cursed for sure but want to fix it as I feel there is still hope for this buddy to return to the sky
[2020-07-01 12:57:37]
bin4ry :
i have no idea sorry maybe someone else
[2020-07-01 12:58:07]
webhdx :
yeah, my best bet would be confirming all voltages are there but I need power rail layout, I believe someone has it
[2020-07-01 12:58:25]
webhdx :
I know a guy on mavicpilots forum which is very good in board level repairs but he's not responding to me tho

Had this today during a mission .. velH approaches 20m/s, then bird pitches up, velH goes down to around 13, 14 m/s, and up again ..
[2020-08-15 15:45:20]
validat0r :
totally odd .. cant explain, no stick input ofc
[2020-08-15 15:46:41]
validat0r :
mission speed was set to 20 m/s .. so maybe bird tried to slow down and got unstable in some way.
[2020-08-15 15:46:46]
validat0r :
any ideas?

Good morning, here in Argentina, someone has been able to solve a problem with the Spark radio control due to an update. That does not link with the drone
[2020-11-22 09:32:16]
deesparko :
Hello,
not sure what update you're referring to...
but you can try resetting RC (turn on RC, hold the power button for 9 secs until beeping)
power up your drone, press and hold the battery power for 3 secs to enter into the linking mode
(or reset the wifi (6 seconds), or do a factory reset (9 seconds))
and relink it by holding Customizable button , Pause button and FN button together (see the picture below)
Also you could try to turn off bluetooth or downgrade firmware...
I believe you have an iOS device...
so please check this thread. There are different solutions in there.

I have already tried this method, but it does nothing
[2020-11-23 13:48:14]
rsrmdp :
only the red led blinks
[2020-11-24 07:37:01]
deesparko :

rsrmdp :
thanks, I'll take a look
[2020-11-24 13:16:44]
rsrmdp :
I had already seen this publication, unfortunately there is no solution in that publication.
[2020-11-24 13:18:30]
rsrmdp :
The radio control does not emit a Wi-Fi signal, when the sequence of the three buttons does nothing unfortunately
