    Skydio 2 has 6.0 software and won’t update

    I checked my sent email and after Rajah replied, they are the general one. [email protected] Rajah helped during the 4-5 steps each by back end loading my drone. He asked for it's ID number. Then in addition to the ap telling update required the info section showed 'update'. He arranged the...

    Are the cameras on the arms interchangeable?

    I found the left front camera's photo electric plate cracked. The drone was plagued with V30 Vision sensor error persistently. I had some parts and ended up using the camera and internal plate by installing the module onto the base and ribbon. After assembly I compared the angles of both front...

    Very Likely this will throw a V30 Error

    Found these cracks in the Vision sensor photo electric plate after popping off the connector from the ribbon.

    Skydio 2 has 6.0 software and won’t update

    I was not aware that Skydio won't accept a repair eval if it has been opened and fixed up in the past. This is email copy from the support team. This error typically indicates a persistent internal hardware fault—often related to one of the vehicle’s sensors or onboard systems—that prevents...

    Skydio 2 has 6.0 software and won’t update

    No Joy. I tried all together now three phones, S22, S25, Iphone 16 max? I tried letting the app walk through switching to wifi, download then switch to drone to install, BUT as that works on newer versions above this old old program, I was not given that process. Instead I used two phones with...

    Skydio 2 Gimbal Transmission Cable with two wires cut

    The two wires on one end got ripped up. I repaired the Gimbal mount and I wonder if some wires are not used? I will install and see. Someday this cable will be sold I hope!

    Skydio2 App says update required then when checked says Drone is up to Date

    Very strange. Latest Skydio Vehicle Software Version is 24.17.4 and in the app on Android S22 Ultra it says Disconnected 6.0.40. The drone does broadcast it self as the proper wifi network, the app says connected, but when I click the sensor icon at the top, it comes up No Vehicle connection...
