Enhanced Flight Stability, Connectivity, and User Experience

We’ve implemented key improvements that boost operational reliability, enhance connectivity, and ensure smoother, uninterrupted flights.

  • Reliable Updates: Resolved an issue that caused update failures, ensuring that software installations go smoothly. This helps you stay up-to-date with the latest features without risking unexpected downtime that could impact critical flight operations.
  • New Active Radio Channel Telemetry: See your active radio channel in real time to better inform frequency management decisions. This information helps you evaluate radio settings if needed, especially valuable in environments with high signal traffic.
  • Streamlined Network Connection Transitions: A unified network selection interface simplifies switching between Connect SL and Connect 5G, making it easier to maintain a steady connection without extra steps—ideal for complex or multi-location missions.
  • Improved Connection Stability: Faster adaptive radio frequency (RF) noise response after launch prevents short-range disconnects, reducing risk during close-proximity operations and helping you maintain control in challenging RF environments.
  • Enhanced Log Accuracy: Accurate telemetry and cloud data recording means you’ll have access to every flight detail, whether you’re reviewing footage for insights or building data for long-term projects. 
  • File System Improvements: Additional updates prevent file system errors for more consistent performance.

ENHANCEMENTS

Streamlined Network Switching

The interface that allows for switching between Connect SL and Connect 5G has been unified across the Gate Screen and Flight Screen, offering a more consistent experience.

New Telemetry Option: Active Radio Channel

A new status has been added as an option for the telemetry bar, which displays the active radio channel in real-time. This addition provides you with immediate access to channel information for improved radio frequency management during flights.

  • Navigate to Global Settings > Display > Telemetry

FIXES

X10 Update Failures

We discovered a driver error that had the potential to cause mismatched internal CPU version numbers, leading to an increase in the rate of update failures. The issue has been resolved.

  • Improvements include a streamlined update process, enhanced error visibility, and refined reporting capabilities to provide faster root-cause analysis
  • This update significantly reduces software update failures encountered in prior releases

Missing Telemetry Logs in Cloud

In rare cases, certain telemetry and flight logs may not have been recorded or uploaded to Skydio Cloud. The issue has been resolved to ensure all relevant logs are preserved and properly associated with each flight.

Improved Handling of Short-Range Connection Stability

Updates to the Adaptive Noise Immunity (ANI) mechanism now provide faster responses to minimize short-range wireless disconnections and reduce interference shortly after launching. Previous delays in ANI adjustments could result in up to 30 seconds of exposure to interference. With this release, ANI settings now respond more quickly at launch, improving connection stability for flights rapidly moving away from the controller.

Auto DFS Persistence

An issue where the Auto DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) setting did not persist after rebooting has been resolved.

  • Previously, if Auto DFS was selected, the drone defaulted to channel 36 upon restart, leading to suboptimal channel selection and an increased risk of short-range disconnects
  • The DFS setting now reliably persists across reboots

Resolved File System Corruption Issues

Addresses an issue where file system corruption in storage could lead to various errors, such as sensor incompatibility, failure to switch to 3D Scan mode, and cloud configuration issues. This update improves storage integrity to prevent disruptions and ensure smoother operation.

Enhanced ESC Tuning for Obstruction Management

Updates to the motors' Electronic Speed Control (ESC) tuning improve drone stability and reliability when contacting minor obstructions, such as leaves. This enhancement ensures propellers maintain smooth operation during flight.

Other Fixes

  • Improvements to ReadyLink enhance video stream stability, and under-the-hood updates increase overall stream reliability
  • Improved time and date accuracy on X10 in GPS-denied environments to prevent stale timestamps
  • Updates to Auto White Balance in 3D Scan allows for more consistent color depictions
  • Added the ability to use spaces and other previously unsupported characters when naming audio files for use with the Speaker and Mic attachment
  • Miscellaneous UI improvements
