SDK for Mavic Mini confirmed as in the pipeline

[PingSpike]

I contacted the DJI dev team this evening to find out if a SDK would be release for the Mavic Mini.

Thankfully, good news:

Thank you for contacting DJI Developer Support with your question. The Mavic Mini is currently not supported by our SDK yet, but we will be providing support in a future release. At this time, it’s not known which release this will be in so, I recommend looking for updates in our Release Notes!

Best,

Lisa Fedane
DJI Developer Support

So Litchi fans, I/you/we hopefully won’t have to wait too long

This is also good news for CrystalSky owners

You heard it here first

providing support in a future release

January 2085 is in the “future”.

[PingSpike]

But at least it’s coming?

Can’t remember what the M2 timescales were but there was three months (ish) from the Mavic Air being launched to its SDK being released so hopefully they’ll follow a similar time frame with the Mini.

When you’re 70 years old … time is limited. (Not that I have a Mini! )

This suggested a higher degree of uncertainty than should be the case.

@PingSpike

At this time, it’s not known which release this will be in

@PingSpike

Can’t remember what the M2 timescales were

Just scanned the release notes on the developer portal for the older SDKs.

iOS Mobile SDK 4.7 released on 23/08/18 was the first to support the Mavic 2, anyone remember when the M2 was released?

@PingSpike

anyone remember when the M2 was released?

Just check @callum’s order date.

[callum]

Orders went live on 23rd Aug 2018.

[PingSpike]

So the SDK was released on the same day?! That’s gotta be a first!

[callum]

I remember a couple of weeks wait after it was delivered until support by Litchi.

Was pretty quick.

@PingSpike

Seven months later…

However, I bring good news Mavic Mini owners!

The DJI Developer Portal is now showing this:

Looks like the SDK will finally be released next month.

And knowing how quick Litchi are to react, they’ll have a beta available in a matter of weeks

[PingSpike]

@PingSpike

The DJI Developer Portal is now showing this:

Well, the 13th July came and went, no Mavic Mini SDK…

It’s now confirmed for 31st July instead:

We’ll see

Just heard a rumour that the SDK for the Mavic Mini and more has been released, can anyone confirm this is true?

[OzoneVibe]

Moved your post over to a pre-existing thread on this topic.

[PingSpike]

@DrCarl

can anyone confirm this is true?

Yes mate, it dropped earlier today:

[DrCarl]

Cheers - hopefully the MA2 will follow soon!

[PingSpike]

Don’t hold your breath

@PingSpike

I contacted the DJI dev team this evening to find out if a SDK would be release for the Mavic Mini.

That was in December, 2019.

@PingSpike

Which of course was all people ever wanted, Litchi support, right?

Then the SDK finally arrived:

And then…

What a bummer! … for those that have Minis.

[PingSpike]

It’d be handy to still use Litchi for flying with, as I use it as the default app on the other DJI drones.

Mean’s I’d be free of DJI Fly

And, can also (hmmm, possibly?) use Litchi for a 360 degree pano with the Mini.

DroneLink beta due this week so lets see what that brings

Perhaps @dronelink (Jim) can enlighten us more?
