Hello Inspire users,

in my freetime I created a small online tool to convert the DJI Inspire Flight Records written by the Pilot App to detailed CSV-Files, extract the 4 moments that were captured during the flight and to create a KML-File for import into Google Earth to show the flight route of your aircraft and the RC position on the ground.

To use it, you need to sync your Flight Records with the DJI cloud and login into the website http://thecutter.net/djiconverter/ with your DJI/SkyPixel account that is used in your DJI Pilot App. No Login information is saved!

Sample KML-File loaded into Google Earth:


List of Flight Records:


And a sample ZIP-Package created by the tool can be found here:
http://thecutter.net/djiconverter/downloads/sample.zip

If you find any bugs or have problems using the tool, feel free to contact me!

The project is not related to DJI!
If you like it you are free to donate for my work on this project.

Hey that's great but I'm not sure about using account information and using the process online. Now if there was some program I could use off line

You are not forced to use it. ;)
But many users from German Kopter-Forum.de already used & tested it.

How did you manage to find the file format of the logs?
I have been asking DJI for months and still haven't heard anything back from them regarding telemetry extracted from these logs.

Sorry I didn't mean to rattle you. I was actually complimenting your work and thanking you for developing the program. I'm sure there are data protection safeguards in place.

Good job!

However, you are alluring people to hand in their password...
Then u request to skypixel pretending to be those flight records' owner...

Providing a website instead of an executable program indicates that u may collect sth.

As long as you don't add an endpoint to the api to get a valid token like facebook, twitter or other websites there is no other way.Or you could display the token in skypixel.com so the users can login with the token only.

I created a website because I'm a Microsoft .NET developer and would only create a desktop application for windows users. So the apple users didn't have a chance to use it.

However as I said: I don't store any sensitive login information. And you are free to use it, if you have security concerns, then don't use it.

Is It possible that DJI can make a printable logfile or a log system where you can extract info that you need to present for the autoritys (Pilotlog, Systemlog) when they demand it.The log in PilotApp is ok, but sometimes need to hand over a report to autoritys on paper.

As an airplane can be remotely hijack through the entertainment system I am curious to know if the inspire can be hijacked through the app if somebody has your user and password and has knowledge of hacking?

OMG! Are you serious?With the official DJI pilot app there is NO way to remote control the aircraft. Theoretically it could be possible through a third party app using the SDK.

But as I said: If you don't trust me, you don't need to use the tool. You can upload your flightlogs without logging in to skypixel.

I already used GroundStation functions with the Inspire 1 using the SDK provided by DJI.
HotPoint works great, Waypoints are not finished yet. Still some todos on DJIs  side.
