Hi guys,
I just came across this thread. I bought a Mini 2 in January because it is a current drone and I had therefore hoped for very good software support over a long period of time. It was also my choice because it weighs less than 250 g. I live in the EU and the use of heavy drones will soon be severely restricted here. The big Mavic is unfortunately not an alternative for me.
I have a severe physical disability, so I cannot operate the controller with my hands. That's why I started looking for alternative operating options. When I bought the drone, I also had in mind that DJI has an SDK. I'm a developer myself, so I could definitely do something with it. Now I'm a bit surprised that the SDK for the Mini 2 doesn't work. That would have been a super elegant way of granting me control in terms of software (for example using virtual sticks). That this is not possible now is super disappointing and I find that even in this respect discriminatory towards disabled people.
Of course, I can also try other ways, for example somehow accessing the hardware of the remote control and bypassing the joysticks or controlling them with small linear motors. But of course none of this is as elegant as a software solution.
That's why I make a clear request to DJI to make the SDK compatible with the Mini 2 in order to end the discrimination.
Maybe you, @Mats , can also help with your unofficial solution? That would be great, super awesome and I would be infinitely grateful to you.
By the way, there is also a thread on my problem in the normal customer forum. However, I haven't received any answers yet. Not from other community members and unfortunately not from DJI itself. I also find that actually a pretty bad customer service. Here is the link to it: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=241562
Lovely wishes
