When I try to start a mission get the Notice, “Controller needs to be in F-mode”. I try changing modes on the remote, but that does not help. Litchi won’t start the mission in any mode. Huge pain in the butt! I cycle the controller and the drone, and sometimes that works. Then I have to close out Litchi open the DJIGO4 app, fly 3ft up, land, close DJIGO4 then open litchi back up. Most of the time that has been working. I’m on a huge job, and this is not fun. Any help would be great. Thanks
Any time you want to fly a Litchi mission, your remote must be in “P” (P-GPS) mode. This is referring to the switch on the right-hand side of the standard controller. If you are already flying a Litchi mission (in P-mode) and you change that switch to either S-mode or T-mode, the drone will immediately exit the waypoint mission. I’m not sure what F-mode is.
Are you saying that you are already in P-mode, then when pressing “Start” to fly a waypoint mission, you receive a pop-up notification in Litchi that says “Controller needs to be in F-mode”?
I have a Mavic 2 Zoom and fly using either an iPhone or iPad with the standard controller. I don’t believe I have ever seen that message.
I just tried flying a waypoint mission (M2Z, iPad) with the mode switch set to “S” (Sport). This is the error that was displayed after I pressed the “Start” icon:
I receive the same message, but it tells me to use F-mode. If it helps, I am in the Dominican Republic on a job. I don’t think it really matters but thought I would throw it out there. Next time it happens I will take a picture. I did not realize it is not a common issue. Most likely I won’t be back on site till Monday.
Hello Mike, sorry about the problems you are having. From what I have read F Mode is the old P Mode. P Mode and NORMAL Mode are the same. Everything done with Litchi is in either Normal or P Mode now. If this is a new problem and everything worked fine before, then try reinstalling your apps and making sure that you have the most recent updates to all devices. Good Luck!!
If your version of Litchi is displaying “F-mode” I am wondering if your are up-to-date with your software and firmware. Latest version of Litchi is 2.14.2. Latest firmware for the M2P is 01.00.0770.
I just reinstalled the app so could not tell you what version I was using. The drone is up-to-date. (just double-checked) I’m really hoping your right, and I needed to update litchi. Thanks
