liamb2387 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 No, just the firmware it automatically gives you. How would I pick another version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 been awhile since i had a quadcopter, are you using mission planner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamb2387 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 Yeah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 iirc you will need to download a firmware by looking around then comnnect your quad to MS and click on firmware. there is a drop down option at teh bottom of the screen and choose the firmware you have downloaded. im sorry, like i said its been a while since i have done this.

froggy8 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 also when you connect to MS look for the parameter call 'throttle maximum' make sure that is on at 1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liamb2387 Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 I'm sure the minimum is 1000 and max is 2000!Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
