Does Smart Controller work with Litchi or Dronelink?

[Kyle76]

I was just getting into Dronelink before selling my Mini and buying a MA2. I’m waiting for the MA2 SDK release in order to use Dronelink with my new drone. I hear lots of good things about the Smart Controller, but is a third-party app like Dronelink (or Litchi) compatible with it?

Yes, you can run Litchi on the Smart Controller. (of course this won't work to fly the Mavic Air 2 until DJI releases SDK support for that model)

So Dronelink won't work with a MA2 yet either? Shouldn't be too long before DJI releases the SDK. Does Dronelink support the Mini yet?

 

[Kyle76]

Yes, Mini SDK released about a month ago and Dronelink support was out within days.

FWIW Dronelink works great on SC. The compute power of the SC is on par with the Mini 5 - 6 cores 4GB ram.

You have to wait until Nov 30th, 2020 for the SDK to be released. After that, Dronelink is able to integrate their software to work with the MA2.

I haven’t heard a date. Where did you hear Nov. 30?

Kind of a long way out, but at least there’s a plan in place.
