7/30/2019.......I just found a very easy way to get past the Windows 10 driver problems after updating to a new Windows update version . I had problems after downloading Windows Update Version 1903 . I went to the DJI download site and downloaded DJI Assistant 2 . That download has all the drivers needed to keep older flight controllers working with the older assistants , ( NAZA M -Lite and NAZA M V2 ) Again , download the DJI Assistant 2 . Hassle free .
You don't even have to open the DJI Assistant 2 . It just loads all the older drivers , and your previous NAZA M - Lite or NAZA M V2 assistants will start working again .
**2019 UPDATE** Didn't work for me. Had to regedit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System then modify:EnableLUA to 0. (Change it back to 1 when done) then install DJI drivers. then follow the steps in this video. profit. DJI :(
Mine still not connecting, finally was able to download and install the driver installer, did everything as this video and nothing. I have been working with drones since they came out and I never had a problem with connecting any flight controller. I'm so tired of keep trying. Lol I know is the new alienware computer I just got.
OMG..thank you so much!! It's 2024 and I have a windows 11 laptop and been trying to resurrect an old DIY drone with a naza fc and could not get it to talk to my pc no matter what i did ... until now. You guys are awesome!!
You Sir are a legend, i was about to go into my Phantom FC40's controller in desperation but realised my Phantom was not actually seeing the software so i decided to try your method while watching the video on a mobile phone and using a magnifying glass to see what was going on and after one or two slight mistakes on my part while navigating the file system and watching the video again,,,,, and again i installed the DJI software on my Window 10 PC. My Phantom started beeping for joy until i reatached the battery and then i went to the NAZA-M2 Basic tab then RC tab, powered on my controller and the software recognised my controller straight away without saying "please connect to controller" Nearly 6 hours i've been trying to suss out what was wrong, 6 hours. Thank you for uploading this video, it has been a huge relief.
FINALLY! This is the answer that I spent over 4 hours looking to find! Worked perfectly. New Naza set up in less than 15 minutes after performing this "fix"! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
My friend, i always used my naza m v2 on Mac so i never had problems. Lately ha had to make a new setup and i had to take my WIN10 laptop on the field for changing the parameters. I was simply lost.... You took the time to do this wonderful video, for us all and brilliantly solved my problem. You can't even know how much I'm grateful to you right now!!
If I could like this video 100 times, I would. I fought with the software for hours and this was an instant fix. My phantom was telling me it needed the calibration before it would start the props and I couldn't figure out why the assistant wouldn't recognize the firmware. I love you! Cheers
I just inherited an old naza lite FC and was about to change controller. I had no luck connecting DJI Assistant to the FC. Thanks to your video, it works now!
Thank you so much, Just bought a used FC40, on win10 of-course nothing worked on Naza assistant, I'd searched the forums/website/manual and nothing worked till i found this. I owe you a beer or several. This needs to be wide spread as it would help out alot of people. again thanks.
I was just about to give up and I thought... Maybe painless 360 has a CLEAR solution... Well... he fixed it again... Thank you so much dude your videos are the best around
This was a huge success!! Thank you for posting this video. I hadn't flown my DJI Phantom 1 in over three years and couldn't get it to start up. So, I tried running the NAZA M V2 software and found it couldn't detect the quadcopter. One of the Windows 10 updates must have broken it. However, I did exactly what you described and bingo it worked the first time! GREAT JOB!!!
I appreciate this was posted 2 years ago but I’d like to say a big THANK YOU! Yes I still fly a (when I can) an old Naza M on a F450 and this got me out of a pickle. Much appreciated 👏👏
Many thanks to Painless360 for posting this video and also RCBowerz (Liam) who must be a tech wizard and a very clever person. I struggled for a few hours trying to get the DJI Naza-M Assistant (x64) to work on my Windows 10 Pro PC but to no avail, that is until I came across this video, which provided a complete fix/workaround. Thanks again Liam
After more than an hour, found this solution. I love DJI and the products, but they should have this issue in the user guide and save people from all this hassle. Thanks!!!
Thank you very much for putting this video together. You have solved my long term running issue, up till now I had to borrow a friends window 7 laptop for Naza interface. I am so much happier now that I can now use my own Win 10 laptop for my Naza interface.
Mahalo for the video, racked my brain for a few hours trying to get it to connect. I could open the assistant no problem, it just wouldn't talk to the MC. no green and blue light on the bottom left corner of assistant. It works now. Mahalo so much, Your awesome. Please keep up the great work, and thank you also to the person who sent you this fix.
I love your videos!! This channel is the first place I look when I have a problem! Thought I had a bad naza system turns out just need the right drivers!
You saved me a lot of troubles! This solution works perfect for WooKong-M on Windows 10 Home for me! Great tutorial and respect for geeting so much into what MS wants to be hidden or closing their solution more and more. Thank you!
Thank you for the video tutorial! Works perfectly! I fought with this to make the drivers work with their installer for a couple hours to no avail... I eventually just fired up my Windows 7 virtual machine. I figured the drivers simply were not compatible with Windows 10. DJI needs to start providing this workaround on their site/during installation or get the damn driver signed - it's a big fail that they have done neither by now.
+John Cuppi Hi John, Excellent news to hear the video has helped! They have been contacted by multiple people including myself about this issue. I can only imagine the reason they haven't patched it is because there is something in the drivers stopping them from getting it verified/signed and releasing a new version as it seems mad such a big issue they are failing to publicly address. That is just my opinion and not based on any fact/evidence however!
Also here i never have the chance to thank you for this video it been long time i been using my naza m lite thanks to you i was having problem to make this fly controller to work with my computer till i found this tutorial and i know many others guys had the same problem THANK YOU........for the tutorial...
Thank you! You just save my life! Win 8 had problemas to communicate with my DJI Phantom 1, but all your advise made the trick! Thanks again ! Thumbs up!
Thank you very much painless360, i been searching the whole night in the internet how to connect my mc to dji mv2 assistance and i found you video just this morning,it worked perfect.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much for this video, sending you so much gratitude. I am really at the end of my tether with Microsoft becoming the ultimate cotton wool and bubble wrapped nanny state, where you can't do the things you need to do and you are forced to do things you don't want to do. Your method worked for me after various failed methods documented elsewhere that must have worked once upon a time but have since been locked down. I held on with Windows 7 until forced onto Windows 8 by duff vendor USB 3 drivers, held on with Windows 8.1 until my laptop broke and I could only get one with Windows 10. It's like Microsoft wants to make IT professionals who fix things for a living to run through mazes that stretch them but are utterly impenetrable to the lay person. My pet peeve is "your organisation requires you to change your PIN" when it is my computer and I am the only person who uses it and there is no organisation except me. I do not require my PIN changing because nobody except me has ever seen me type it. Anyway, rant over, it's now time to find out why my NAZA stopped playing nicely.
Glad you got it working. The easist fix would have been for DJI to spend a little of that money they make from their customers to get the drivers certified. But, they didn't bother despite seeing how much frustration and problems it caused. Anotuer example of DJI not caring about their customers? Happy flying
I have the same issue with my PC not seeing the Naza. I went through the process of trying to reinstall the DJI driver manually, and of course Win10 in its infinite wisdom told me that the best driver was already installed and would go no further. Urgh! Short of trying another computer, in my opinion this is inexcusable by DJI. How many years have we been designing drivers for Windows now? So much for a $160 canned flight controller solution as I sit here and admire my latest S500 quad build that I can't even configure sitting so lovely on my bench. Thanks for the series Painless. I'm slowing learning more and more thanks to videos like yours. Some day I'll be proficient at this hobby. :)
Hi, thanks for this video, followed to the letter and Naza M Lite now talking with the DJI Naza software. I've had my Naza M Lite for 3 years and never previously had a problem until Windows 10 came along. I contacted DJI, who's only advice was to check Windows 10 had all updates & to re-download Naza M Lite Assistant software. Guess what that didn't work but your brilliant fix did; so thank you very much.
THANK YOU SO F***ING MUCH, PERIOD. You guys seriously got me flying again!! YESSSS!!! Thank the pixel gods this video finally popped up. After getting a new computer I couldn't communicate to my MATRIX drone anymore and knew it was a driver issue. I tried to figure out how to manually install the driver but of course there was no instructions that were detailed anywhere. I was so close too but gave up after many many hours of PAIN (the only thing I didn't know about was restarting in that specific mode). That was a couple months ago apparently before this video was even around. Man if only this was around then, my drone and the shelf it stands upon, wouldn't have so much dust on it... But now thanks to you I am PAINLESS!!! SCORE!!
Thanks for the guidance!!!,..I am trying to change course so to speak,..I was a DJI fan,..P3,and Spark,..but bought a DJIF450 Flamewheel 6 months ago.Just realised that I've bought archaic gear,everything has "shrunk" in the last 3 years,haha,..and a Futaba T8J!.OMG,...but will try and build the 450 anyway.After realising my mistake,by reading various up to date TH-cam fpv channels,like your goodself,..I have now bought more modern gear,=almost "rtf" Furibee x215,an Armattan Rooster,and an iFlight XL7 kit (maybe to replace the 450? and make later in the year,if I can get my head around Betaflight of course.. It's going to be an interesting year for me learning how to build the f450 and fly the freestyle aircraft,with fpv goggles.Crash course so to speak!.
Sadly, I think this is down to DJI. The driver signing practice is to stop untested/badly written drivers from making onto your PC and breaking things. DJI make more than enough money to go though the process to get these drivers signed and approved (like almost everyone else does).. Come on DJI - support your customers! They're paying enough!
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest as DJI customer support is notoriously bad. At least their QC has improved judging by their latest products, like the Mavic, a seriously nice piece of kit.
YEEES! Worked for me also! Was trying to find the .inf file because it wasn't in my DJOI folder. After I saw this post I thought what the heck, 30 sec's and I was up and going with the DJI Assistant.
Excellent video. Nazam program works perfectly. Thank you so much. This was driving me crazy trying to get this to work. Watched the video and did just as it said and now it works as it should.
Thank you very very much. You made it easy and very clear on how to load up the drivers (Naza M). Too bad DJI can't seem to move faster w fixes......seems like they are always one OP behind.
Thank you, I have others with cc3d, Naze, and I have gotten help from your videos so I thought I would try. I have sent a computer to my cousin who has it running and he thought he could get mine to also. I will see by next week, thank you again, take care. Greg
Hei. Good. Maybe you are not even reading these posts anymore, but I have a question. I got a Phantom FC40 a couple of years back, flew once but no GPS so no "go-home" option in place, so I did what most did: I upgraded the firmware first, and then I was gonna try the "GPS Calibration". After upgrading the firmware, nothing worked, constant flashing yellow light, and that was the end. 2 years later after reading multiple posts, videos, etc., I was able to upgrade the firmware in the Phantom and its transmitter, I imported the parameters... but the main problem remained: After connecting the battery, a couple of green lights, and then a flashing yellow light. After reading and watching many youtube videos, I concluded (I think) that the problem seems to be the communication between the receiver and the transmitter. I tried changing to D-BUS, PPM (I even tried the Traditional) but nothing: I always ended with the flashing yellow lights. I found the solution "Press the Black Button that is inside the compartment" just a year ago. But, every time that I press the black button, no red LED lights turns on... Any Help will be much appreciated, or this new Phantom is going to the garbage... (Maybe get a New Phantom II 5.8 Ghz Tx RF V3 and see if it works???)
+Felipe Arrate sorry, I don't use DJI kit personally. I'm surprised at how poor their support is despite the premium they ask. Sorry I can't be more help.
I found the root of the problems , and I believe that is the same for everybody else, the USB cables , they need to be good quality cables, and not the kind that come in all phones or things like that. Something like Belkin will do the trick. Then the change in the drivers can be done. Thank you guys.
Hi Carlos, this is a big point, a lot of cables you find will be intended for charging cables and the wires inside carrying the data aren't correctly insulated to avoid inference and errors when being used for a data function.
05/03/2020: If anyone don't find the DJI Driver folder, change your clock year to 2012 (in Clock setting) and then install the DJI Driver. After installing, plz follow the above video guide. Thanks Painless360 and community for helping hand.
thank you so much liam I thought I was going to have to get rid of my phantom and get a new one as it is discontinued and it doesnt have any support anymore now connects to naza software
I have brought a Naza M lite.. and it is still on the way.. ad now you are telling us about naza.. that is a very good thing to hear.. and can I ask.. is it god if I upgrade naza m lite firmware to naza Mv2 firmware ????
+R A Dilan Darshana Hi There, The upgrade to V2 isn't support by DJI so wouldn't be suggested as has the possibility to 'brick' your Naza with no fix. With that said, many have had success with it but can't guarantee it won't cause problems in the future. I don't believe Painless360 have any plans currently to produce a Naza video series. Thanks, Liam
Hi, I need some help. I have a dji phantom 1 with dji naza m lite upgraded to v2 inside it. On RTH failsafe, the quad flies to home point and descends downwards. at the final 5m or so, it slams into the ground, takes off again, slams into the ground again and again until I take over manual control or I hand catch it, before it stops and disarms. please advice me what I need to do to fix this. thank you
hi mate I tried this solution to get my naza working but when I get to the part to press f7 for the drivers assignment nothing happens whatsoever any ideas I'm totally frustrated
hi lee I found the problem to be my x8r not binding to the radio I used an l9r and worked fine how do I know what firmware to flash the x8r with as the receiver I have is marked 2015 cheers pete
Whenever I try and update the driver I get a pop up message saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work on windows for x64-based systems." Any ideas?
I have same issue, and I think DJI have been kind enough to remove the .inf-file. The zip now only contain the .exe. If somebody has the .inf please share.
I'm having the same problem and am about ready to get ahold of DJI and return this. I bought the naza thinking it would be less of a hassle than open source flight controllers... I was wrong.
Mario Nardoni yeah! My device manager actually stores my com ports in a separate section than USB devices for some reason so it ended up just being underneath a different sub folder in windows. Sorry for the lacking specifics its been a while since I figured it out.
Worked great, I did have to make some changes from the the video. I'm using Windows 8.1 and everything was the same steps as the video. The DJI driver is a .EXE file and no longer has a .inf file. I followed the steps in the video but never went into Device Manager, I just went ahead and restarted my PC in the "7) Disable driver signature enforcement" and connected the USB/NAZA to the PC and run the driver .EXE file and when I started the Assistant it works as it should.
Took me an extra min it was hiding in a different location but yes this works thank you so much do as he tells you & if you get stuck/don't work, go back in to device manager & locate one label dji/ and or naza & update that one it will then work I hope 🤞🏽
I did this and it worked, however, now the com port I used is not recognized by the computer. It no longer detects any devices but does supply power. How can I fix this?
Hi I just watched the video from your friend Liam. Great tutorial. I still have a problem in displaying the Assistant. I now have, thanks to Liam, the USB Virtual DJ Com port 6 showing in my systems in windows 10. I have a green light on the NAZA V-sens module as well as my taranis is bound to a X8R RX as I put a servo for test. I have tried both SBUS as well as standard. This unit was bound with an orange rx. I did try to bind my dx6 v2 and I still did not get the assistant to show. I am using the NAZA M Lite Assistant my NAZA has a date of 2012 and no other model info.. IS there anyway to forward this to him for review??? As usual thank you for your time as it keeps us flying.... DG
Hi Dan, Sorry for not being in touch sooner, I do occasionally check the comments of this video to see if I can help. I had huge issues with getting spectrum to work with my Naza, Mainly not having the ability tyo correct map channels, so firstly, go back to your Taranis! Next, I would setup the one to one channel mapping with using single cables for each PPM channel and check you can get it working like that. Be sure the polarity of the connectors is correct. If you're still struggling, please reply and I'll do my best to help! Liam
you were lucky then my friend. like I said it could be done on earlier stuff but the disclaimer I read said dji had done something to stop the hack (obviously ) and they were working on it. having said that I've had no problems with my m lites on any of my craft and if you want the full version I'd suggest buying it which not only gives you a guarantee but also pays towards new development which let's face it can only be a good thing ? glad yours worked ok
Hello. again off topic but you helped me on how to manually calibrate my esc's for my throttle problem so it works when it is directly connected but as soon as I hard wire everything up and hook it up to openpilot and go through the set up wizard I test it and the throttle is still engaging at 50% so I don't know what else I can do any help would be appreciated thanks
hi lee I managed to get the software to boot on my w10 os however ive encountered another problem I had to bind my x8r in mode 4 so the fc runs on channels 1 to 8 in sbus but need extra analog channels to use my quanum head tracker I'm using a brand new x8r and the receiver is flashing red as to have a bind but when I go into the naza assistant all I get is a cfg err message and the tx is not moving the monitor in the tx set up tab any ideas cheers pete
+Peter Webster I'm not familiar with how it works with the Naza kit. Normally I'd suggest binding the Rx in D16 and then using a 'channel mapping' setting to expose the channel(s) you want for the gimbal on a spare PWM output on the flight controller OR bind two X8Rs - one to run the FC via S-Bus (channels 1-8), the other for all the other devices that need PWM..
Hi Peter, I believe with the X8R you can use the jumper configuration to set the analogue pins to be channels 9-16, whilst using 1-8 on the SBUS output. Double check the x8r manual and look at the different jumper/bind options.
Hi Painless360 I know this is an obsolete thread but I need your help with this. I recently purchased a new computer (a laptop Windows 10 Build 1809) and I decided to take on the challenge of getting NAZA M V2 Assistant Software to work. I got as far as trying to install the virtual inf driver. It starts to install then displays the message that an error was encountered. I went through ALL the steps to allow it to install except I couldn't go into safe mode. It would stop working after the second restart screen before choosing options 1-8.
7/30/2019.......I just found a very easy way to get past the Windows 10 driver problems after updating to a new Windows update version . I had problems after downloading Windows Update Version 1903 . I went to the DJI download site and downloaded DJI Assistant 2 . That download has all the drivers needed to keep older flight controllers working with the older assistants , ( NAZA M -Lite and NAZA M V2 )
Again , download the DJI Assistant 2 . Hassle free .
You don't even have to open the DJI Assistant 2 . It just loads all the older drivers , and your previous NAZA M - Lite or NAZA M V2 assistants will start working again .
No driver signature alerts , or problems .
**2019 UPDATE** Didn't work for me. Had to regedit:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
then modify:EnableLUA to 0.
(Change it back to 1 when done)
then install DJI drivers.
then follow the steps in this video.
profit.
DJI :(
Thanks, worked perfect!

I just inherited an old naza lite FC and was about to change controller. I had no luck connecting DJI Assistant to the FC. Thanks to your video, it works now!
Thank you so much, Just bought a used FC40, on win10 of-course nothing worked on Naza assistant, I'd searched the forums/website/manual and nothing worked till i found this. I owe you a beer or several.
This needs to be wide spread as it would help out alot of people.
again thanks.
+JD please share where you think it will help others. Thanks for the feedback..
JD, glad it helped! Just keep an eye out and when you see someone in need and share this video. Liam

Big Thanks! I tried anything...but the tipp with the advanced boot that ignores the driver signature was the best! Now it works!
+Tobi 1337 glad you are flying again. Why oh why can't DJI sort this for their customers. They charge enough..
Had this problem, This video worked for me ... I spent hours trying to sort this and this video fixed it in under 10 mins !!! many thanks
THANK YOU! After much frustration in trying to use my software again for the first time in a very long time, this was the fix that worked for me.
I love your videos!! This channel is the first place I look when I have a problem! Thought I had a bad naza system turns out just need the right drivers!

I have the same issue with my PC not seeing the Naza. I went through the process of trying to reinstall the DJI driver manually, and of course Win10 in its infinite wisdom told me that the best driver was already installed and would go no further. Urgh!
Short of trying another computer, in my opinion this is inexcusable by DJI. How many years have we been designing drivers for Windows now? So much for a $160 canned flight controller solution as I sit here and admire my latest S500 quad build that I can't even configure sitting so lovely on my bench.
Thanks for the series Painless. I'm slowing learning more and more thanks to videos like yours. Some day I'll be proficient at this hobby. :)
It worked for me windows 8.1 on a wookong S800 DJI.. thanks a bunch .. my first DJI.. I’ve been using apm..I really appreciate you!!!!
Hi, thanks for this video, followed to the letter and Naza M Lite now talking with the DJI Naza software. I've had my Naza M Lite for 3 years and never previously had a problem until Windows 10 came along. I contacted DJI, who's only advice was to check Windows 10 had all updates & to re-download Naza M Lite Assistant software. Guess what that didn't work but your brilliant fix did; so thank you very much.
Thanks to Liam for such a great job!
Thanks for the feedback Gary, glad it got you flying!
Thanks Liam and Painless360, great work you guys!
No worries dude! Liam
thank you so much! I've been troubleshooting this for 2 weeks
i was literally about to chuck my quad out the 19th level balcony.
love you. thanks
Love ya too! :D
Thank you for this tutorial. Able to get my drone up and running again!
You are a lifesaver I've been messing with this for two hours and this was the solution. Thank you thank you thank you
Glad it helped! :D
You are my favorite person this month! Thanks a lot!
Excellent first class info for Naza 32
THANK YOU SO F***ING MUCH, PERIOD. You guys seriously got me flying again!! YESSSS!!! Thank the pixel gods this video finally popped up. After getting a new computer I couldn't communicate to my MATRIX drone anymore and knew it was a driver issue. I tried to figure out how to manually install the driver but of course there was no instructions that were detailed anywhere. I was so close too but gave up after many many hours of PAIN (the only thing I didn't know about was restarting in that specific mode). That was a couple months ago apparently before this video was even around. Man if only this was around then, my drone and the shelf it stands upon, wouldn't have so much dust on it... But now thanks to you I am PAINLESS!!! SCORE!!
Hi Josh, certainly had me scratching my head for a few hours! Glad you got there in the end
Thanks for the guidance!!!,..I am trying to change course so to speak,..I was a DJI fan,..P3,and Spark,..but bought a DJIF450 Flamewheel 6 months ago.Just realised that I've bought archaic gear,everything has "shrunk" in the last 3 years,haha,..and a Futaba T8J!.OMG,...but will try and build the 450 anyway.After realising my mistake,by reading various up to date TH-cam fpv channels,like your goodself,..I have now bought more modern gear,=almost "rtf" Furibee x215,an Armattan Rooster,and an iFlight XL7 kit (maybe to replace the 450? and make later in the year,if I can get my head around Betaflight of course..
It's going to be an interesting year for me learning how to build the f450 and fly the freestyle aircraft,with fpv goggles.Crash course so to speak!.
Best of luck with the build!
Thank you so much for saving me so much time. As someone else commented, why does Microsoft make everything so difficult
Sadly, I think this is down to DJI. The driver signing practice is to stop untested/badly written drivers from making onto your PC and breaking things. DJI make more than enough money to go though the process to get these drivers signed and approved (like almost everyone else does).. Come on DJI - support your customers! They're paying enough!
Thankyou for taking the time to put this up.
AFTER 10 HOURS OF MESSING AROUND I DID IT! THANK YOU SOSOSOSOSO MUCH
Glad to help, Connor!
Thank you so much !!! I had a huge problem with connecting my laptop (Windows 10) with DJI Ground Station. Now it works great :)
I know this was a while ago but thanks for posting as this worked like a charm. Many thanks.
Thanks, and yet DJI (despite how much they charge!) still hasn't fixed it.. What's up with that!
That doesn't surprise me in the slightest as DJI customer support is notoriously bad. At least their QC has improved judging by their latest products, like the Mavic, a seriously nice piece of kit.
This saved my ass on a really important project! Infinite thumbs up!!!
nothing worked. Then for fun I set my clock year to 2015 and it installed without all this unsigned driver bs hope it helps others
That worked perfect! I waisted so much time before I saw this comment.
YEEES! Worked for me also! Was trying to find the .inf file because it wasn't in my DJOI folder. After I saw this post I thought what the heck, 30 sec's and I was up and going with the DJI Assistant.
Just Amazing Trick U got bro it works fine, Thanks
@@kevinroach9380 Same Happened with me too. Haahaaaa
yep perfect for me cheers
Excellent video. Nazam program works perfectly. Thank you so much. This was driving me crazy trying to get this to work. Watched the video and did just as it said and now it works as it should.
YOU ARE THE FREAKING MAN!!! This worked perfectly step by step. THANK YOU SIR!!!
Thanks for taking time to make this video 😊
thank you so much for the info...had problem with naza driver loading!!!! ty hot dam!!!! back in action...
Thank you very very much. You made it easy and very clear on how to load up the drivers (Naza M). Too bad DJI can't seem to move faster w fixes......seems like they are always one OP behind.
Exelant tip haveing that exact trouble with a telemetry radio.
Thank you, I have others with cc3d, Naze, and I have gotten help from your videos so I thought I would try. I have sent a computer to my cousin who has it running and he thought he could get mine to also. I will see by next week, thank you again, take care. Greg
+Greg Cantwell best of luck!
Thanks for the tutorial!!!!! You made it so easy!!!
Thank you so Much!! Worked for me!! Why is DJI not updating their driver signature?
I would have never figured this out thanks a bunch!!!
Thanks a million for the help.
Did what the video mention.Work perfect.
Cheers from NZ
Hei. Good. Maybe you are not even reading these posts anymore, but I have a question. I got a Phantom FC40 a couple of years back, flew once but no GPS so no "go-home" option in place, so I did what most did: I upgraded the firmware first, and then I was gonna try the "GPS Calibration". After upgrading the firmware, nothing worked, constant flashing yellow light, and that was the end. 2 years later after reading multiple posts, videos, etc., I was able to upgrade the firmware in the Phantom and its transmitter, I imported the parameters... but the main problem remained: After connecting the battery, a couple of green lights, and then a flashing yellow light. After reading and watching many youtube videos, I concluded (I think) that the problem seems to be the communication between the receiver and the transmitter. I tried changing to D-BUS, PPM (I even tried the
Traditional) but nothing: I always ended with the flashing yellow lights.
I found the solution "Press the Black Button that is inside the compartment" just a year ago. But, every time that I press the black button, no red LED lights turns on...
Any Help will be much appreciated, or this new Phantom is going to the garbage... (Maybe get a New Phantom II 5.8 Ghz Tx RF V3 and see if it works???)
+Felipe Arrate sorry, I don't use DJI kit personally. I'm surprised at how poor their support is despite the premium they ask. Sorry I can't be more help.
Thanks anyway for your help! You are right, is incredible how poorly they treat their customers...
Wow 2020 and this still worked (at least for me) thank you very much
I found the root of the problems , and I believe that is the same for everybody else, the USB cables , they need to be good quality cables, and not the kind that come in all phones or things like that. Something like Belkin will do the trick. Then the change in the drivers can be done. Thank you guys.
Hi Carlos, this is a big point, a lot of cables you find will be intended for charging cables and the wires inside carrying the data aren't correctly insulated to avoid inference and errors when being used for a data function.
Absolutely brilliant! Thanks for this video. Yet another obstacle out of the way thanks to these very useful tips.
+valderja you are very welcome. Happy flying
05/03/2020: If anyone don't find the DJI Driver folder, change your clock year to 2012 (in Clock setting) and then install the DJI Driver. After installing, plz follow the above video guide. Thanks Painless360 and community for helping hand.
absolute LIFE SAVER. Thank you so so much for this tutorial
No problem, glad my collaboration with Painless360 was helpful!
thank you so much liam I thought I was going to have to get rid of my phantom and get a new one as it is discontinued and it doesnt have any support anymore now connects to naza software
Thank you for the video. I also got stuck with my Naza and Win 10 laptop.
Best video on topic
I have brought a Naza M lite.. and it is still on the way.. ad now you are telling us about naza.. that is a very good thing to hear.. and can I ask.. is it god if I upgrade naza m lite firmware to naza Mv2 firmware ????
+R A Dilan Darshana Hi There, The upgrade to V2 isn't support by DJI so wouldn't be suggested as has the possibility to 'brick' your Naza with no fix. With that said, many have had success with it but can't guarantee it won't cause problems in the future. I don't believe Painless360 have any plans currently to produce a Naza video series. Thanks, Liam
Hi, I need some help. I have a dji phantom 1 with dji naza m lite upgraded to v2 inside it. On RTH failsafe, the quad flies to home point and descends downwards. at the final 5m or so, it slams into the ground, takes off again, slams into the ground again and again until I take over manual control or I hand catch it, before it stops and disarms. please advice me what I need to do to fix this. thank you
great video as always, now what about when the naza don't even appear on the COM devices ? and that is in XP Vista and win 10 pc's, I try it already
thankyouuu sooo much painless360.. youre the best!
Brilliant video as always, many thanks for sharing.
hi mate I tried this solution to get my naza working but when I get to the part to press f7 for the drivers assignment nothing happens whatsoever any ideas I'm totally frustrated
Thanks!!! This fixed something I was unable to solve!!!
Fantastic, sorted me out superbly!
hi lee I found the problem to be my x8r not binding to the radio I used an l9r and worked fine how do I know what firmware to flash the x8r with as the receiver I have is marked 2015 cheers pete
+Peter Webster that usually means that it's got the EU firmware in it. Try the nonEU and see if that's better.. Best of luck!
Whenever I try and update the driver I get a pop up message saying "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work on windows for x64-based systems." Any ideas?
I have same issue, and I think DJI have been kind enough to remove the .inf-file. The zip now only contain the .exe. If somebody has the .inf please share.
I'm having the same problem and am about ready to get ahold of DJI and return this. I bought the naza thinking it would be less of a hassle than open source flight controllers... I was wrong.
Have you found solution to this message? I've been at it for several hours now and nothing I try seems to help.
Mario Nardoni yeah! My device manager actually stores my com ports in a separate section than USB devices for some reason so it ended up just being underneath a different sub folder in windows. Sorry for the lacking specifics its been a while since I figured it out.
Great video as always, I have it recognising the drivers now but it still won't go past the loading screen, any ideas?
Worked great, I did have to make some changes from the the video. I'm using Windows 8.1 and everything was the same steps as the video. The DJI driver is a .EXE file and no longer has a .inf file. I followed the steps in the video but never went into Device Manager, I just went ahead and restarted my PC in the "7) Disable driver signature enforcement" and connected the USB/NAZA to the PC and run the driver .EXE file and when I started the Assistant it works as it should.
Took me an extra min it was hiding in a different location but yes this works thank you so much do as he tells you & if you get stuck/don't work, go back in to device manager & locate one label dji/ and or naza & update that one it will then work I hope 🤞🏽
What happens if I'm using a windows tablet? The restart process mentioned didn't work.
BTW, when I am successful in getting Win 10 to talk to my NAZA FC, do I need to enter a S/N on the info screen before I can configure anything??
This was good advice, it took care of my issue, spot on.
I did this and it worked, however, now the com port I used is not recognized by the computer. It no longer detects any devices but does supply power. How can I fix this?
Great video very helpful thank you painless 360
Hi I just watched the video from your friend Liam. Great tutorial. I still have a problem in displaying the Assistant. I now have, thanks to Liam, the USB Virtual DJ Com port 6 showing in my systems in windows 10. I have a green light on the NAZA V-sens module as well as my taranis is bound to a X8R RX as I put a servo for test. I have tried both SBUS as well as standard. This unit was bound with an orange rx. I did try to bind my dx6 v2 and I still did not get the assistant to show. I am using the NAZA M Lite Assistant my NAZA has a date of 2012 and no other model info.. IS there anyway to forward this to him for review??? As usual thank you for your time as it keeps us flying....
DG
Hi Dan,
Sorry for not being in touch sooner, I do occasionally check the comments of this video to see if I can help. I had huge issues with getting spectrum to work with my Naza, Mainly not having the ability tyo correct map channels, so firstly, go back to your Taranis!
Next, I would setup the one to one channel mapping with using single cables for each PPM channel and check you can get it working like that. Be sure the polarity of the connectors is correct.
If you're still struggling, please reply and I'll do my best to help!
Liam
Thank you. Excellent instructions
Worked perfectly
you were lucky then my friend. like I said it could be done on earlier stuff but the disclaimer I read said dji had done something to stop the hack (obviously ) and they were working on it. having said that I've had no problems with my m lites on any of my craft and if you want the full version I'd suggest buying it which not only gives you a guarantee but also pays towards new development which let's face it can only be a good thing ? glad yours worked ok
hack on v2
Hello. again off topic but you helped me on how to manually calibrate my esc's for my throttle problem so it works when it is directly connected but as soon as I hard wire everything up and hook it up to openpilot and go through the set up wizard I test it and the throttle is still engaging at 50% so I don't know what else I can do any help would be appreciated thanks
+SKYWALKER 808 not sure, we've never seen that here. Check you are not in any flight modes that use the Baro. Best of luck!
+Painless360 could it be that my cc3d FC needs to be replaced ??
That was an hilarious help for me. Thanks a lot
hi lee I managed to get the software to boot on my w10 os however ive encountered another problem I had to bind my x8r in mode 4 so the fc runs on channels 1 to 8 in sbus but need extra analog channels to use my quanum head tracker I'm using a brand new x8r and the receiver is flashing red as to have a bind but when I go into the naza assistant all I get is a cfg err message and the tx is not moving the monitor in the tx set up tab any ideas cheers pete
+Peter Webster I'm not familiar with how it works with the Naza kit. Normally I'd suggest binding the Rx in D16 and then using a 'channel mapping' setting to expose the channel(s) you want for the gimbal on a spare PWM output on the flight controller OR bind two X8Rs - one to run the FC via S-Bus (channels 1-8), the other for all the other devices that need PWM..
Hi Peter, I believe with the X8R you can use the jumper configuration to set the analogue pins to be channels 9-16, whilst using 1-8 on the SBUS output. Double check the x8r manual and look at the different jumper/bind options.
Hi Painless360 I know this is an obsolete thread but I need your help with this. I recently purchased a new computer (a laptop Windows 10 Build 1809) and I decided to take on the challenge of getting NAZA M V2 Assistant Software to work. I got as far as trying to install the virtual inf driver. It starts to install then displays the message that an error was encountered. I went through ALL the steps to allow it to install except I couldn't go into safe mode. It would stop working after the second restart screen before choosing options 1-8.
Sorry but I don't use DJI kit here so all I know is in the video. Best of luck
