Map component fails with "too slow"
Hi!
Just starting to explore dronelink and did a first small test with the map component today. The drone executed the first leg of the map as planned, though during the flight the sound from the motors/propellers sounded erractic, lite constantly throtteling up and down. After executing the first turn to the second leg I think it only took one more picture until failing the execution with a message similar to "Flight too slow", don't remember exact wording. The drone is a Mavic 2 P. The android native app (on a Pixel 3).
Been trying to google and search the forum but havn't found anything helping with this error.
Any suggestions? Should I do a bug report with any more data? I have the airdata to send if someone can help with this problem.

The throttling up and down is a bug in the DJI SDK and it doesn't affect the actual flight performance. It only happens on the Mavic 2, no other drone types.
The Device Running Slow message means that the mobile device was not able to perform run the flight controller fast enough for safe and reliable control. Dronelink (unlike most DJI SDK app), runs the entire flight controller on the mobile device as opposed to uploading the mission to the drone. This allows us to offer unique functionality over other apps, but it also means that certain combinations of devices, drones, missions, and environmental factors may not always work. We are doing our best to control for all these factors and make the flight controller even more performant, but exceptions can happen. Many times you can just resume the mission after your device has a chance to catch up. If resuming doesn't work, please post a link to the mission plan so we can test it ourselves.
OK, thanks for the feedback. I will try the same mission again and report back.
