- | NLD will be coming out with a FCC patch for other models besides the M2 as well, but until that is released, use the NLD GO app to force FCC mode. Either NLD GO 4.1.22, or in the case of the Spark and OTG, use NLD GO 4.1.14, both versions force FCC mode when used. | ||

+ | Click on the drop-down box and select | ||
- | Currently the FCC patch is only for the M2 birds. To enable FCC mode on the other models, you MUST be using NLD GO app for Android. This forces FCC mode on as long as you use the app. The FCC patch is a new way to force FCC mode on the bird itself, and we will release a compatible patch for the other birds as soon as its ready. | + | After patching |

- | Why is the NLD GO Patcher not available for the M2? It' | + | You can obtain a raw unpatched version of the apk' |
- | This is due to our NLD GO app not being compatible with the M2. You will use the same GO (stock version) you are using now with the M2. Either Android or iOS version. | + | |

- | ==== How to setup NLD GO 4.1.22 ==== | + | === 32 Channel Mode for P4 === |
- | NLD GO 4.1.22 has some new features that normal | + | There is a datalink.settings.json file on your device after installing NLD GO. This file allows enabling |
- | * Display of AGL height over changing terrain. This is a feature that will give you real-time, actual Above Ground Level height while you are flying, based on GPS position data. | + | |
- | * Ability to switch between HERE maps and Google maps | + | |
- | * RC boost mode for the P4 birds and Mavic Pro/Platinum birds | + | |
- | * 32 channel mode for the P4 birds | + | |
- | * Force of FCC mode for all compatible birds(on by default) | + | |
- | * NLD GO 4.1.22 | + | |
- | 4.1.22 link for patching | + | Edit the datalink.settings.json file with a text editor, find the variable 32Channels and change false to true. Save the file. |
- | To enable displaying of AGL height over changing terrain, for this function to work correctly for NLD GO 4.1.22 - you will need to do a couple of things: (this is using GPS satellite terrain data information and is more accurate than the default way altitude is computed in GO.) | + | Or, you can extract |

- | What exactly is mixed module firmware or cherry-picked | + | DJI packages firmware with multiple modules for the various hardware components on your bird, such as Camera |
- | The DJI firmware is made up of individual firmware | + | Not all modules |
- | Not all modules | + | DJI firmware is like a big zip type file. (actually a .tar file). You can use a program like 7-zip to open it and see all the modules. All the parameter/ |
- | What does this really mean? The DJI firmware is really a big zip type file, actually a .tar file. You can use a program like 7-zip to open it and see all the modules. All the parameter/ | + | Why would you want to do this? Sometimes, one module gets updated with changes |
- | Why would you want to do this? Let's take for example | + | While you gain the modding ability of the earlier flight controller version, you may lose some functions in the more recent flight controller version. You will have to determine if modding |
- | As new firmware came out, DJI added more fixes to the firmware modules and more features, like panorama mode etc. If you upgrade to 01.04.0300 for the Mavic or 01.00.0900 for the Spark, you lose the ability to disable NFZ and Altitude. But if you are using NLD, you can use our NLD NFZ removal patch, and that is a different way to deal with NFZ, but the NFZ detection is still active and could be overridden by the GO app IF you are using a stock app, Android or iOS. If you are using the NLD GO app for Android, we have removed the NFZ data from that, so the app has nothing to override because it has no NFZ data. | + | However, there have been no recent examples where mixed firmware modules are required |
- | + | ||
- | How does mixed modules come into play? Since we know that the firmware file is made up of modules, and we know in the example of the Mavic and Spark that 01.03.0700 and 01.00.0300 can do all mods, why don't we take out these modules from the more recent firmware, like 01.04.0300 and 01.00.0900, so that the firmware flashing SKIPS the already flashed flight controller module, but updates all the rest? Do you see it? What you end up with is all the firmware modules are upgraded on your bird, EXCEPT the flight controller module, (since you deleted it from the .bin file, AND the bird already has the older version) so that you can continue to mod your bird, just like you were still on 01.03.0700 or 01.00.0300! | + | |
- | NLD now supports you uploading your own firmware, so this is now possible. Make 100% sure you know what you are doing. If not done right, you can brick your bird. This means ONLY getting firmware that you have made yourself and know what you are doing, or from a trusted source. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | So for example...If your Mavic is on V01.04.0300: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | You could also go the opposite way...if your bird is on 01.03.0700, you would flash 01.04.0300 firmware with all modules intact except you would remove 305/306 from this firmware and end up with the same result!! All modules are on 01.04.0300 firmware except for the flight controller module. The same goes for the Spark using the spark firmware versions. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | What about NLD, will it now detect | + | |
- | + | ||
- | For example. Your bird is on firmware 01.03.0700 and you flash to mixed module 01.04.0300. Your firmware will be detected as 01.04.0300. Let's say you go the opposite route, and are already on 01.04.0300 Stock, but want to have all mods available, so you flash mixed module 01.03.0700. Your firmware will be detected as 01.03.0700 version. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | What are the down sides to doing this? | + | |
- | While you gain the modding ability of the earlier flight controller version, you may lose some functions in the more recent flight controller version. You will have to determine if modding is worth the trade-off. | + | |
