SIM card, the frequency bandwidth must be compatible with your UAV version (Domestic/Global)

4

XAG One account

 

Attention

  • Cloud Communication LED indicator of FC must illuminate in green. It implicit the 4G connection is OK.

 

  • Taillight must flash in green. It implicit that the UAV's RTK module has found enough satellites and is able to compute its geographic position. Otherwise, the smartphone and UAV pairing may fail. This is due to the safety concerns that the XAG backend cloud server need measure the geographic position between smartphone and UAV within meters before activating UAV.

Procedure:

Insert SIM card into flight control

SuperX4 (V40/P40)

SuperX4 Pro (P100)

 

 

Power up UAV, wait for 60 seconds until SuperX4 connects 4G. To verify the 4G connection, check the 2nd light indicator (remote server) light indicator is flashing in green. The UAV should be placed outside, and the taillight should be green flashing.

ACS2 2021 Related

Most ACS2 2021 problem is due to the issue of firmware update, please update your firmware to the latest version. Once the ACS2 2021 is successfully configured, the power, terminal, task status (the 1st, 2nd, 5th from the left) should illuminate in green.

LED indicator Indication

Power

Yellow: Battery is low

indicator

Green: Battery is OK

Terminal

Dim: No server communication

indicator

Green: server communication OK, either cloud server or LNT (local server)

Task Status

Yellow: Able to search LNT hotspot SSID but the password is wrong

indicator

Green: Connect to LNT hotspot

Red: Fail to search LNT SSID, possible causes are LNT lost power, wrong SSID, wrong firmware

Dim: not working, perhaps firmware is wrong

 

Problem: Fail to configure

Scenario: Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) become dim.

Task Status (the 5th from the left) light illuminates in orange

Analysis: Wrong WIFI Credentials.

The dim Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) implicit that ACS2 fail to connect neither Cloud server or LNT (Fake local server).

 

The orange task status (the 5th from the left) light implicit that ACS2 is trying to connect one’s WIFI but the credentials is wrong. This WIFI may not be necessarily a LNT hotspot. It can be any WIFI that is discovered nearby.

Solution: Long press button A to quit LNT mode. Input WIFI correct credentials again.

 

Problem: Fail to configure

Scenario: Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) illuminates in green

Task Status (the 5th from the left) light illuminates in red

Analysis: There may be two problems happening concurrently.

 

The red task status (the 5th from the left) light implicit that ACS2 fail to search LNT hotspot. Most likely the LNT is off.

 

The green Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) implicit that ACS2 is connecting to a remote server. Since LNT (fake server) is off, ACS2 must be connecting to cloud server using 4G network. Thus, the 4G Sim card is inserted into ACS2.

 

Solution: Remove 4G sim card from ACS2, and then restart ACS2. Turn on or restart LNT device.

 

Problem: Fail to configure

Scenario: Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) become dim. Task Status (the 5th from the left) light illuminates in red

Analysis: Wrong credentials of LNT hotspot SSID / LNT is disconnected from power source.

The red task status (the 5th from the left) light implicit that ACS2 fail to search the given credential SSID. This SSID does not quit nearby. It may be resulted from either wrong credential of LNT hotspot SSID or LNT disconnected from power source.

 

The dim Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) implicit that ACS2 is not connecting to a remote server (LNT) because ACS2 don’t connect to LNT hotspot.

 

Solution: Enter the correct credentials of LNT / Turn on or restart LNT device.

 

Problem: Fail to configure

 

Scenario: the terminal light changes from green to dim. the

task status light changes from green to orange.

 

Analysis: LNT may be turned off or frozen.

 

The task status (the 5th from the left) light changes from green to orange, which implicit that ACS2 used to access LNT, but for now it can only find the LNT hotspot, but the LNT gives no response.

The Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) change from green to dim. It implicit that ACS2 lost the communication to the LNT.

 

Solution: Restart LNT

 

Problem: Fail to configure

Scenario: The terminal light changes to green to dim, while the status light stays at green.

Analysis: LNT may be turned off or frozen.

 

The Terminal light (the 2nd from the left) change from green to dim. It implicit that ACS2 lost the communication to the LNT.

 

The task status (the 5th from the left) light stays at green. Because the terminal light become dim, the ACS2 has no access to LNT hotspot. The green task status light may lose shortly. This can be caused by the delay in computation or long response time. If you wait long enough, approximately > 2 minutes. The ACS2 should change from green to orange.

 

Solution: Restart LNT

 

XRTK4 related

Problem: XAG Agri 2 App searches for a long time but can’t find XRTK4

Scenario: N/A

Analysis & Solution:

  • Communication channel setting problem. Please change ACS2 2020 channel to 0, and then pair again

  • WIFI signal interference problem. There are too many WIFI nearby. Please bring the XRTK module to an open field with few WIFI devices, and pair again.

 

Problem: XRTK4 module constantly offline

Scenario: N/A

Analysis: Unknown

Solution: remove XRTK4 and add again

 

Problem: Firmware download failure

 Scenario: The App shows “time out” error

 Analysis: significant network latency

 Solution: have more attempts

 

Problem: ACB1 is not working well with the App

Scenario: N/A

Analysis: Android phone compatibility problem

Solution: change another android phone

 

Problem: Fail to enable XRTK4 hotspot

Scenario: No response when pressing F1 button

Analysis: Wrong firmware version. Probably it is due to firmware update failure. Hints:

F1 – WIFI, F2 – remote server, F3 – RTK F2 double flash – cloud server online

F3 triple flash – LNT (local server) onlinE

Solution: update XRTK4 firmware again

 

Problem: Fail to add XRTK4 upon LNT

Scenario: consistently receiving the error “Fail to add 1007”

Analysis & Solution:

  • Check if XRTK4 F2 light has triple flash. If not, the XRTK is not connected to LNT.
  • update the XRTK4 firmware (offline update, online update using ACS2 2020)
  • It could be the hardware issue of XRTK4. Please try another XRTK4.

 

Problem: XRTK4 and LNT fail to connect

Scenario: XRTK4 F2 single flash

Analysis & Solution: “XRTK4 F2 single” flash implicit that XRTK4 fails to connect LNT hotspot. This could be due to the following reasons:

  • XRTK4 don’t have 4G SIM card inserted. Please Make sure XRTK4 has 4G SIM card inserted.

Check if LNT firmware is the latest version, higher than V1.0.0.18

 

Check if APP version is the latest version, higher than V3.10.16

 

Wrong LNT credential; Please reenter the LNT credential. Please check if your LNT credentials has spaces or unrecognized characters (#,_, *, etc.)

 

XRTK/LNT WIFI physical single has been interrupted.

  • The distance between XRTK4 and LNT is too far away. XRTK4 lost connection.
  • There are some barriers blocking the WIFI singles.

 

Problem: LNT network takes approximately 10~30 minutes for ACS2 remote controller and UAV to be RTK active. Sometimes it fails to connect.

Scenario: the number of satellites is less than 16 but still able to go into FIX mode.

Analysis & Solution:

  • Keep ACS2 remote controller and UAV close to RTK station. All the devices must be placed in the open field to avoid single block or interference.
  • ACS2 remote controller, UAV and RTK station should update to the latest version.
  • The RTK station is physically moved. Please use single points, wait until the RTK go into FIX mode.

The RTK station is the old model. Please change and use the latest model of RTK station. The reason is that the old RTK station is not capable to search Beidou satellites. Look at the RTCM broadcasting, the five dots represent for the satellites provider, gps、glonass、beidou、stationinfo,receiverinfo. According to the scenario, the third dot become dim. This means that the old RTK model do not support Beidou satellites.

  • Restart all the devices and make more attempts.
  • Ask help from XAG technical support, please record the app screen when putting the RTK into fix mode. If the video is too long, please only takes the first 5 minute. Also, please provide the RTK device information, and firmware version of LNT, ACS2, UAV.

 

Problem & Scenario:

Put the RTK station into single positioning, but the device report setup failed. Number of satellites is greater than 16. XRTK4 station ID is valid and display on screen. LNT is put into working mode and disconnected from internet.

Analysis: This is due to device list in the App account is not updated properly. For example, there may be a device that removed from the list when the LNT is offline. As the LNT is offline, the device list does not sync with XAG server. This will result in messy consequence that other devices may not able to get online.

 

Solution:

  • Restart everything
  • connect your LNT to internet. login your account that allows the device list sync with XAG cloud server

Problem: Fail to turn on UAV’s hotspot

Scenario: double press reset button; the wireless communication light does not change to orange.

 

Analysis & Solution:

  • Unrecognized press pattern. Please do the following. Press the reset button for 1~3 seconds, release for 1~2 seconds, then press the reset button for 1~3 seconds again. if not, please do a cold restart. shut down the UAV and wait for 5 mins, then turn it on.
  • Wrong UAV firmware. The old firmware doesn’t have the UAV hotspot feature.

 

If you did the online update, but it fails, please check the update status.

If you did the offline update, but it fails, please redo the firmware update of mainboard, WIFI and DLS.

 

Problem: Fail to configure UAV

Scenario: The cloud communication light is not green after configured

Analysis & Solution:

  • Wrong LNT credential; Please reenter the LNT credential
  • Forget to do a cold restart on UAV; Please turn off UAV, wait for 5 minutes and turn it on
  • LNT has no access to internet; Check LNT internet accessibility, make sure LNT has good internet access.
  • Smartphone is connecting 4G but not LNT; Turn off smartphone’s 4G, make sure your smartphone is connection to LNT.

 

Problem & Scenario: UAV fail to start or resume the flight route.   

Analysis: Look at the battery icon. When the UAV gets online, the battery icon is green. Oppositely, when the UAV is offline, the battery icon turns into grey. You may see that the color of battery icon is consistently switching between green and grey. This is because the UAV is consistently switches between online and offline. This could be due to the software issue or network connection issue.

 

Solution:

  • Check if the ACS2 remote controller is in field mapping mode. If yes, please quit ACS2 field mapping mode. Connect your smartphone to LNT hotspot.
  • Put the LNT into working mode. The working mode will disable the hotspot of LNT, that can significantly reduce the signal interference and increase the signal quality.
  • Use your ACS2 remote controller to manual flight the UAV. If it works fine, please restart everything. If not, the WIFI system (antenna, cables, RTK mode in flight control, etc) of UAV may have some issues.
  • Update the firmware or software of all the devices, including LNT, ACS2, UAV, RTK, App.
  • Regarding to this issue, find the frequency of occurrence and contact XAG technical support

 

Problem & Scenario: UAV fail to connect RTK station

Analysis & Solution:

Check if RTK station is in FIX mode and RTCM is broadcasting

  • Check if the UAV has the number of satellites greater than 16
  • Check if the UAV RTK is active

  • Change another RTK station
  • Change another UAV
