Frequently Asked Questions
Hardware checking:
pod power supply is normal, pod and idu module are properly connected. The pod
works properly. Datalink (sky end, ground end) power supply is normal. The
datalink sky end is properly connected to the IDU module, and the connection
wire is not broken. The datalink ground end and the computer is connected
normally, the network wire does not have the damage to break the circuit.
Software setup check:
Make sure the computer network is set correctly and the computer turns off the
wifi when connecting the datalink. The computer is not connected to any
network other than the data link. Software network IP address is incorrect
:(when the gimbal, camera IP address changes, need to synchronously modify
