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

Hello,

Does anyone know if it is possible to telnet from an Android phone to the Mavic Mini remote controller over USB, using one of the supplied USB cables? I am looking to get the Wifi network info to see if I can join it, and poke around.

Thanks,

Kovy

"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?

You can see the wifi network and join it via the wifi on your laptop, then you can try to telnet into it, this was how powermagic worked for the phantom 3 standard and how us old folks used to investigate issues with the older phantom 2 vision units

I have a Telnet client, and I have seen online that you can Telnet into it (Usb network between RC and phone, Using Mavic Mini with Wifi).

I'm trying to get the Wifi network info.

Are you sure this works with the Mavic Mini? When I turn on my remote and/or connect to the drone, I do not see a Wifi network come up. However, I saw Using Mavic Mini with Wifi that there is a Wifi network with the SSID Spark-RCxxxxxc, and the user found the SSID name using Telnet.
