ACS2 2021 Firmware Introduction

The firmware version of mainboard (单控主板) is 2.0.1.25. Please make sure that the last two digit of mainboard firmware must be equal or greater than 25. Otherwise, please do the offline firmware update, or contact XAG technician.

There are four firmware that must be update

 

  • keyboard module
  • mainboard module
  • WIFI module
  • RTK rover module

 

  1. ACS2 2021 doesn't need to restart after the WIFI/Keyboard/RTK rover module firmware updates complete; Oppositely, ACS2 2021 must restart after the mainboard module firmware update completes.
  2. Make sure to plugin RTK rover before RTK rover module update

 

 

Check ACS2 RTK Positioning Status

This could be import while field mapping.

If the RTK positioning status is displayed as “RTK not connected” or “RTK positioning”, ACS2 field mapping will not work. Make sure the RTK positioning status must be “RTK Active”.

 

Problem & Scenario: Fail at field mapping and receive the error of “Communication error. Please try again”

Analysis & Solution: This is due to the network connection delay. Please update the ACS2 firmware and the App software to the latest version, then try again.

 

Problem & Scenario: ACS2 fail to connect RTK station Analysis & Solution:

 

  • Check if RTK station is in FIX mode and RTCM is broadcasting
  • Check if the ACS2 has the number of satellites greater than 16
  • Check if the ACS2 is active

  • Change another RTK station
  • Change another ACS2

 

Troubleshooting Cases: ACS2 2021 Firmware Update

 

ACS2 2021 Firmware Update under 4G Networking Mode

 

Problem: ACS2 2021 fail to access Internet

Scenario: Terminal LED indicator light (the second from the left) become dim

Analysis & Solution:

 

Inspect whether SIM card is damaged, do the cross validation on SIM card

  • Inspect whether the frequency bandwidth of telecommunication operator is compatible with your ACS2 2021, Change SIM card from another compatible telecommunication operator
  • If the SIM card is OK but still fail to connect 4G, it could be the APN problem; Please contact XAG technician to reconfigure APN; Alternatively, use offline update method
  • Check if your area has 4G coverage. You can ask your local telecom operator or test it by yourself that Insert SIM card into smartphone and browser websites.

 

Problem: Fail to add ACS2 2021 on XAG One App

Scenario: Error “Not your device".

Analysis: This is due to that ACS2 2021 can only bind to one account. If this ACS2 2021 binds to other account and you want to add this device to your account.

Solution: You must remove the device from its original account.

 

 

Problem: Fail to update firmware

Scenario: Error "Communication error Failed to access application".

 

Analysis: This is caused by cloud server failure or the network connection.

Solution: The cloud server maybe under maintenance. You can retry after a few hours.

 

 

Problem: Fail to update firmware

Scenario: Error "installation failure, please try again"

Analysis: This error could be caused by significant network latency. The XAG server is based in China, thus the user who are far from China, will evitable suffered from this. 
Solution
: Please have more attempts.

 

ACS2 2021 Firmware Update Offline

 

Problem: Smartphone can’t find the ACS2 2021 hotspot.

Scenario: The task status LED indicator light (the 5th from the left) illuminates in orange

Analysis: This may be due to that the ACS2 2021 is under LNT mode as you previously paired your ACS2 2021 with LNT. When the ACS2 2021 is under LNT mode, the hotspot will be disabled.

 

Solution: To quit LNT mode, please long press button A, until the 5th LED indicator light become dim. Once the ACS2 quits LNT mode, the 5th LED indicator light become dim. Now, your ACS2 is ready to update its firmware.

Problem & Scenario: after offline firmware update, ACS2 is consistently having voice prompt while none of the light indicator illuminates.

 

Analysis & Solution: This is due to the offline firmware update failure. Please put the ACS2 into flash drive mode, try a format, run the offline firmware update again.

Troubleshooting Cases: Motors or Servo Failure after Flight Control Replacement

 

Problem: after flight control replacement, P40/P100 has only two out of four motors worked. Vice versa, the servos of the V40 cannot stand upright .

Analysis: this could be caused by the flight control configuration issue. The flight control is somehow configured as V40 or P40. Thus, there are only 2 out of 4 motors working in P40 and P100. While in V40, the servos are out of order.

Troubleshooting Cases: UAV under 4G Networking mode

 

Problem: UAV fail to connect 4G

Scenario: The Flight control cloud communication light is flashing in red. It implicit that the 4G internet connection fails

Analysis & Solution:

 

  • Check if your UAV quit the LNT networking mode as LNT networking mode does not allow UAV to have 4G access.
  • Inspect if the SIM card is damaged or defective
  • if SIM card is OK, double check if its frequency bandwidth is compatible with that of SuperX4's 4G module
  • Change SIM card and use another telecommunication operator
  • APN setting issue, please contact telecom operator and reset APN accordingly.
  • Flight control 4G module malfunction. Please contact XAG technical support for remote debug.
  • Check if the area has weak 4G coverage. You can contact local telecom operator. Also, Insert SIM card into smartphone and browser websites to test if the area has proper 4G coverage.

P100 Troubleshooting

 

Arm Light

Problem Solved: ESC Firmware loss or Update Failure

 

Problem description:

 

The ESC arm light is fast flashing in Cyan.

Open App, go to UAV device details, propulsion system, it shows that some motors have no data. In this example, the M2 and M4 has no data.

 

Analysis: this is due to ESC boot issue. To solve it, re-install ESC firmware is necessary.

From UAV firmware list, it’s supposed to be 1.3.0.117(4) as there are four ESC in P100 UAV, where 1.3.0.117 is the esc firmware version. Please be aware of that ESC firmware version number can change over time as new firmware is released on schedule.

 

In this example, the ESC firmware shows 1.3.0.117(2), which means only two ESC firmware installed. This is not good because for P100, it is supposed to have four ESC firmware installed instead of two.

Analysis

Some ESC has the boot issue. To solve it, re-install firmware is necessary. In this example, M2/M4 ESC has boot issue and need to have firmware updated.

 

Solution #1: Update ESC firmware through 4G

Connect smartphone to 4G, Open App, update the ESC firmware again.

If it does not work, please make more attempts (5~6 times). If it still does not work, try solution #2.
