Mini 2 and Litchi/DroneLink support

[KiloMeater]

Will M2 be supported right away using the SDK from mini 1 .
Or do we need to wait again for a new SDK which would allow litchi and other software to offer the follow me function ?

I guess will take sometime. Probably they do not need to wait for SDK since is my understanding they are similar unless the fact is Occusync change the commands.
If that is the case, the new SDK will be require just like the MA2.

They don't even have the SDK released for the Air 2 yet (which runs on the Fly app). I would assume it will be a while before they run out the SDK for the MM2. Although it would not surprise me if they put out the SDK for both at the same time since the software is similar.

Litchi already supports the M2 and has for about 2 years. Unless of course you meant the MA2?

We are still waiting for the sdk release for Mini 2 , litchi isnot capable for waypoints in mini 1 . I am waiting for the mini 2 support by litchi or dronelink . I hate no follow me mode for mini 2. DJI if you cannot give us what we want atleast give the sdk so that 3rd parties should be able to serve us

Yes I purchased the mini 2 assuming that that it had follow me capabilities as there are some great videos demonstrating mini 1 follow me feature. But alas was disappointed to find out Litchi 3rd party app only supports the mini 1 until the mini 2 SDK is available ? had I known I would have just purchased the mini 1. I hope that DJI will release the mini 2 SDK soon.

If Mini 2 SDK support isn't released soon, it may be too late to matter

It’s not unusual for the SDK to take an age to be released. It’s standard practice for DJI.

Any update on this subject? The main features I like and use all the time in the Litchi app are, of course, active tracking, 3D goggle support and waypoints. If only the Fly app supported these, Litchi would be out of business. I don't understand why DJI can't offer these features. I understand that active track is due to not having the sensors, but you could potentially put that "at your own risk" agreement to the user.

Is my understanding the DJI Mini 2 and MA2S are still waiting on SDKs.

I wonder if DJI is doing this on purpose to keep Litchi and other 3rd party apps from supporting these models. I really liked having active tracking on my Mini 1 using Litchi as well as using my 3D glasses to fly. It is an incredible experience. I think I will keep my Mini 1 instead of selling it just to use with Litchi!!!

I've been flying my Mini 2 for over a year now, love it!
I pulled it out last night to fly it and I get "account not logged in" message.
I live in the shadow of a big airport so I'm in Class Bravo airspace and I have to always deal with the Authorization Zone with DJI as well as getting LAANC approval to fly.
I've been flying drones for 10 years.

I pulled in the sticks to start the motors and got the warnings about flying in Authorized Airspace and checked the boxes and then hit CONFIRM...that's when I get the "Account Not Logged In" notice.
My Fly app is logged so I'm not sure why I'm getting that??? Could it be a new firmware version doing this?
Could it be a senior moment?

Any thoughts?

Hi RGS2010,

I had that same issue in Belfast a few weeks ago. I am still not sure what happened or why I got that message. I closed the app and opened again but got it again. I tried a few times and then finally cancelled and it let me fly for some reason. It seems to be a bug in the app. Let's see if anyone else has anything to say about that.

The only next thing I can think of is deleting the Fly App and reinstalling...another thing that just happened is that I received a new DJI Air 2S yesterday and registered it so I don't know if that threw a wrench in the works or not?

Same here. DJI has many disadvantages. I'll be selling my mini 2 flymore to get the new fimi
