Hiya,

Made a video how the DJI FlyApp uses GPS and Compass data from
drone and mobile device.



PS the first IF in the video is ofcourse IS

Thanks for the video.  I have never adjusted the Home Point mid-flight but this may be useful under some scenarios for setting a new RTH.

Thanks for sharing JJB

JJB, thank you for posting the video.
I went out for a test and until I get a good number of satellites the indicator on the bottom of the screen pulses and is red.
Once I had a good number of satellites the drone icon is facing correctly but it’s to the far right of the arc and some times the arrow points backwards, not moving drone and it is directly in front of me.
I flew the drone further away and the icon orientation is correct but again on the far right.
I sticked yaw, left and right, and the pointer orientation is correct but always on the far right.
I also noticed, like in the video, if you go to map view then back to camera view the indicator on the bottom is gone.
How do you get it back?

Thank You

Good work JJB

Hi Lisa,

When the map view is "ON" the AOI is not there....so close the map view to see the AOI again.

To get the AOI in good order, a) Calibrate your mobile device compass en b) mayby place your device the other way in the RC clamps. Just give it a try.

With a good calibrated mob device compass the arrow must be in the forward sector, but not always exactly in front of you (if drone is dead ahead). Not to worriem if you yaw your drone such that the arrow is pointing towards the white dot, it is heading towards home.
But in doubt, use the map view and fly the arrow on the red line-to-home!

cheers

Thank you JJB, I’ll do as you suggest.
Thanks again.

Are you sure your device has a magnetic sensor (compass)? One of my tablets has none and the app acts the same way.

Thanks for sharing, very informative

Very well done and we appreciate this informative video, JJB!

Hi Gamora,

Thanks for your appreciation, may i ask a favour as contra-appreciation to ask that DJI will 'repair' the Android 1.2.1 version for shwoing up again the battery cell values in the csv file?

cheers
JJB

Very informative JJB.    Thanks for sharing.

Could you share with us some samples of this behavior (screenshot/s or video)? We'd like to have this documented and have it forwarded to our engineers for further checking. Thank you, JJB!

Good to know, thanks JJB*!

Ofcourse,

Your engineers must have changed a little in the 1.2.1 android fly app ; output csv file is empty for battery cell values. BTW  iOS version does show these values.

Thanks, JJB. We'll have this relayed immediately. Should we receive any updates or requires further information, we'll have you posted.

Hi, JJB. We already received feedback from our engineers and confirmed that this will be optimized on later updates. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Hey DJI Gamora, while on the topic of helping can you take a look at this thread please: Unwanted Landing

Thanks.
