looks like august firmware may be the last

Peggy · Jan 11, 2019

I visited the Yuneec UK flight test centre today I flew the 1.5 firmware for the 520 today and can confirm it has Expotentials, POI, new corridor and polygon survey missions and confirmed seen with my own eyes 6 x digital lossless zoom. I’m in a hotel on a mobile and cannot upload a video right now for some unknown reason but the zoom is brilliant.
This 520 is now really starting to show its colours.
Also they wouldn’t spill the beans but some huge is coming in the next few months. Game changer apparently

Expotentials?????? Do we get the softness of movements? This is getting more and more interesting

Thax @Peggy

So what would that be I wonder. Since they now have rtk I can't think of anything huge barring a new camera. Perhaps an improved E90 with a mechanical shutter and variable aperture? Or perhaps go further and say a micro 4/3 sensor with interchangeable lenses? I'm sure there's room in the payload capacity, but the space under the H520 might not allow a big enough gimbal.

Anybody fancy speculating further?

CCC? Trim tab cruise control? Use for the Aux button?? Or something really huge, like a replacement for the H920?

terrence davidson · Jan 12, 2019

or a complete overhaul and revamp of the h920 with rtk option. That has a different battery setup that not dead on arrival

dsandson · Jan 12, 2019

I've seen a comment suggesting a new bird for release this summer. Talk of global or mechanical shutter and large sensor size. Could be an evolution of the H520, or a revamp of the H920 with PX4 and ST16s. The latter would make sense as it would reduce the development cost allowing them to invest more in the camera options... Which lets face it they really need to do now!

I'd love to see some dedicated GCP's like the Propeller Aero Points to work in conjunction with the new RTK module.

@Peggy you got to have a play with it, did they say when it's getting released?

Should be right now anytime soon as the release was supposed to coincide with CES 2019

MrMotley · Jan 13, 2019

Awesome, thanks man. I'll keep hitting that refresh button!

I get an email when a new update is released. That said last update I did was on day before the notification came through and somehow I still got the latest update.

MrMotley · Jan 15, 2019

I bought mine direct from Yuneec Uk, registered on the site and on the st16s when I first fired it up, never had an email since. Yuneec Uk website is out of date with all of its firmware downloads anyway, they're at least a version behind what's showing on the Yuneec.com site for EU versions.
What's best way to sign up to email alerts for these things?

Within that link is

v1.7.3-1.4.21
The last update was v1.7.3-1.4.19 so could that be the new update already?
The Gimbal firmware is also different from the last update.
