How you connect Controller to phone ?
With the USB cable ā¦ same as for Go4
I normally Connect on go4 woth WiFi.
Huh? Now Iām lost as to what youāre doing.
From Litchi FAQ
For drones with a Wi-Fi connection (Phantom 3 Standard/4K, Spark), follow these steps:
-
Make sure no DJI-based apps (including DJI Go, Litchi and other third party DJI drone/osmo apps) are running in the background. If there are any, force kill them
-
Force close all DJI-based apps (including DJI Go and other third party DJI drone/osmo apps).
Please note step 1 is not enough. To force close an app, go to your mobile device Settings - Apps - DJI Go (or other app name) - Force close -
Start your aircraft and remote controller if you are using one, and let them initialize for a few seconds
-
Connect to the Wi-Fi network of the aircraft
-
Start Litchi
Sorry to keep asking basic questions but Just before I order. I can only see an android version to purchase. I thought you could plan a mission on a pc and then transfer it to an android tablet.
Do I buy the android version and then everything becomes clearer. The Litchi website gives little information and there is no FAQ or help desk.
You donāt transfer it ā¦ when youāre logged into your account PC or Device - the missions automatically sync between them.
(Well - I do - because I never have my drone-phone online ā¦ but thatās me and my idiosyncracy.
)
Ok I think I understand now. Thanks for your patience. I have now loaded litchi to the tablet I use. The tablet is only for the drone so perhaps I will connect to the internet to get the mission synced.
If you log in to your tablet using your litchi hub details (and all are connected to the internet) as @OzoneVibe says all missions you have created on the hub (on your PC) will be available to you
Hereās a thing. I would like to use Litchi mission to fly over a POI that isnāt on the map (a fish farm).
Is there a way of doing a quick reccy first, noting the GPS coords. then planning a full mission using those exact coordinates?
Absolutely!
Is it not on Google Earth? Litchi Hub (on laptop/desktop) and the app both use Google Earth.
But, yes - you can fly and add way points as you go - save them as a mission - then tweak at home in Litchi Hub.
Thanks Dave. I havenāt seen any way to add waypoints as you go. Do you mean fly in FPV then add waypoints or fly a preset mission and add waypoints?
The POI is on Google Earth but the image is a few years old and I canāt be sure of the absolute position.
Nope - fly in waypoint mode - donāt load a mission - click on the +waypoint or +POI icons ā¦ save as a mission when complete ā¦ then use/tweak in app or Mission Hub.
Correction
click on the +waypoint or +POI icon ā¦ changes that icon to blue for WPs.
Click on the screen where you want to WP/POI to be placed.
The icon is blue (POI mode) in this.
Thanks Dave, Thatās very helpful. Iāll have a practice run first.
Cheers
As I have just done ā¦ you can try that sat at home.
Should have mentioned ā¦ when adding WPs/POIs whilst flying ā¦ I seem to recall it automatically adds them where the drone is, rather then where you tap the screen (as it does sat at home).
I donāt recall if it matches height for either - so double check WP/POI heights.
Cancel that ā¦ itās exactly the same if connected and flying or not.
Shame you canāt pan camera left/right when you pause litche mission that has POIs. Not sure if the same is true if the mission has no POIs ā¦ will have to check this out. Can only pan up gown with gimbal control.
Epic litchi flight yesterday . Finally getting crystal clear vids.
