    Dat to KML software

    I don't want to discourage you from writing the software you proposed. There may be some who, for whatever reason, do not have easy access to their log files. Your solution might be what they need.

    Mavic 3 Waypoints to Litchi Converter

    By this can I assume you are referring to the new Litchi Mission Hub web application? DJI's use of the KMZ file extension for their waypoint WPML data was unfortunate. It has created a lot of confusion. The KMZ file import that will be supported in the new Litchi Mission Hub is a Google Earth...

    Dat to KML software

    While this is an interesting and worthwhile pursuit, the ability to do this already exists in one of my converters. The GPS coordinates, height, yaw, and gimbal pitch angle are also found in the flight log along with either a 0 (zero) or 1 (one) in the "isPhoto" column of the data. Using the...

    Transfer waypoint mission from tablet to DJI RC

    It does. Litchi's new Mission Hub can be used to design a waypoint mission for any DJI drone that has either native waypoints or VSC waypoints via the Litchi or Litchi Pilot apps. Also, it does work with iOS devices. I use an Apple Mini v5 tablet. For drones that are directly supported by a...

    New Maven / Litchi Waypoint Mission Converters

    Litchi is working on "3D Reconstruction" in the new Mission Hub which may help with your requirements. I have upped the maximum file site in the "Maven to Litchi" converter to 110KB. Not all DJI controllers will be able to handle a 770-waypoint mission with waypoint actions. I know of some...

    New Maven / Litchi Waypoint Mission Converters

    For which converter? I've increased the maximum file size to 50KB for both the "Litchi to Maven" and "Maven to Litchi" converters. The WPML language does support distance/time intervals but like you have found, DJI's implementation in DJI Fly does not appear to support them.

    Automating a “8-directions at each altitude” waypoint photo mission (desktop planner or workaround?)

    I have something that may help you achieve what you need. See my "Cardinal Directions Photo Mission Planner" at: https://www.litchiutilities.com/ Even though my utilities are designed to work with Litchi, you do not need Litchi to use them. This tool will help you create a single layer of...

    Telnet from Android phone to Mavic Mini remote controller over USB?

    "Telnet"? I very much doubt that an Android phone has a telnet client (unless you install one) or that a DJI remote has a telnet server. Exactly what are you trying to do?

    Automated missions for a utility company

    Since I do not have direct experience with the enterprise drones I cannot provide an authoritative answer. However, to the best of my knowledge, the enterprise drones are only supported with their corresponding enterprise controllers and are not supported by the DJI consumer drone controllers...

    Automated missions for a utility company

    Yes, they are different apps. The Litchi app that you already have is based on DJI MSDKv4 which supports the older drones including the Mavic 2. The newer Litchi Pilot app (Android only) is based on DJI MSDKv5 which supports the newer drones including the Mavic 3E. Yes, the Litchi PIlot app...

    Automated missions for a utility company

    The only recent DJI consumer drone with native waypoint support and Litchi support is the Mini 4 Pro. That drone is supported with the new Litchi Pilot app. Obviously, the older DJI drones such as the Mavic 2 Pro would also do what you want (work with Litchi, native waypoint support). The...

    DJI Waypoints vs Litchi Waypoints

    You would set up camera actions at the waypoints where a photo is to be captured. In the Mission Hub, select the waypoint. A waypoint dialog will appear. Add any appropriate "actions" to this waypoint.

    Turn Your Drone Flights into Immersive Virtual Missions (AirData to Google Earth Pro)

    That's what this utility facilitates. The transition itself is done using a video editor.

    Litchi App

    The only drone that works with the DJI RC2 and with Litchi (actually Litchi Pilot) is the Mini 4 Pro. I know of no one who has installed third party apps on either the RC or RC2. However, the new Litchi Mission Hub is able to output a DJI KMZ file which can be manually imported into the RC2.

    Turn Your Drone Flights into Immersive Virtual Missions (AirData to Google Earth Pro)

    I have developed a utility that converts an AirData flight log into a virtual mission compatible with Google Earth Pro. While there are many potential applications, two key uses include: Visual Analysis – Review and analyze a previously flown mission from your computer, observing the exact...
