    UgCS as an Alternative to DJI Ground Station

    Worried about losing possibility of flight planning for DJI on PC? At the beginning of this year DJI will discontinue their PC mission planning software Ground Station due to Google discontinuing their Google Earth API. Along with that, there has been a recall of DJI 900 MHz radio links. UgCS...

    Providing ATC visibility of a DJI A2 drone using a BeagleBone and Sagetech XPS-TR transponder

    The UgCS team has accomplished what we believe is a first – integrating a Mode S/ADS-B out transponder with a small drone, enabling radar visibility throughout the drone’s flight. A BeagleBone Black computer with CAN bus shield was used to integrate a Sagetech XPS-TR, the world’s smallest...

    Aerial sunrise Timelapse test - Phantom 3 using Waypoints for slow smooth tracking

    Forecast was clear for this morning, so charged up last night and got up early planning to take some sunrise stills, but ended up playing with waypoints to fly slow (0.4mph) flight tracks to speed up into a timelapse - these are speeded up 16x and stabilised, timing wasn't quite perfect for the...

    Waypoint limits

    I am a bit confused about waypoint distance limitations. I am fine with altitude but, is the distance limited to a 500 meter radius from the home point or between waypoints

    P3 Pro Waypoints and Planning Missions

    Hi All, I just got my first Phantom ever, the 3 Pro. I've been doing multi's for a couple of years now, flying RC Helis for several years before that. I've been building my own UAV's such as the DJI 450, a 550, and the Tarot 680, all as aerial videography platforms. The controller is the...

    intelligent flight mode-waypoints

    When trying to create waypoint routes in F mode, do the C1 and C2 buttons on the RC activate by default when waypoint is activated?

    Waypoints - cannot see camera recording status ?

    Playing with waypoints, which is still very strange to me to hand over control ! Once you store and play the waypoints, I cannot see if video is recording, as the waypoint box covers the camera status on right of screen which normally shows recording/counter. I've been listening carefully as...

    Altitude issues in waypoint mode

    On my first waypoints mission my phantom flew below the altitude of the home point and did not seem to even approach the altitude that the waypoint was set at. My first question is: how do these phantoms calculate their altitude? I know they have barometers but do they not also work in...

    Issues with Waypoints smoothness

    I saw videos of people using waypoints with "constant and record on", it seemed to work exactly like I need smoothing the point for a smooth transition and flight. Only problem is that when I try to do it, it didn't do the transition smooth at all. I had a shot that goes straight towards the...

    Zero elevation at home point.

    Using Litchi on my P2V and trying to do waypoint flying I've noticed that my altitude at waypoints is much lower than I intend. Playing around I find my altitude at "home" where I set the GPS and compass shows about 29 feet. When I reach waypoint one which I have set for 100 ft. I'm flying...

    Loop Waypoints?

    Is there a way to set waypoints so that the P3 loops continuously, rather than stops at the last point?

    Litchi waypoint flying

    Another stupid newbie question. I'm interested in trying a waypoint flight using the Litchi app on my Samsung Galaxy 5. I've planned a simple mission using 4 waypoints in an open field. I've saved the mission. Does the mission fly from the Litchi app on the phone or do I connect to the P2V via...

    Is it just "Waypoints" or "GroundStation"? (or both?)

    I've only seen a couple of videos covering the new Waypoint flying. They all seem to require visiting each point and setting it - a great idea for those that need the precise direction, as that automatically sets the height. However, one of the things I really liked about the P2 GS feature is...
