Mini 3, RC-N1, Samsung S21, Kernel 4.7.0 (266)

Alex

Setup Info:

  • Samsung S21
  • Android 13 (One UI 5.0) - I have been avoiding an update for a while
  • RC-N1
  • DJI MINI 3 (NOT THE PRO)
  • Kernel 4.7.0(266)

Today I have ran a 60 acre map of the village I am staying in to try the new version of Dronelink DJI Beta using the new MSDK V5.5.0. Overall the video issues were completey gone, however I did find some other issues. I had crashes around every 25%.

It must be noted that I couldn't get it working yesterday because I forgot to force quit the DJI Fly App.

Issues:

  • The GPS map would just stop working showing where the drone was stuck in place, the drone was fine navigating and carrying on but I do like the map so I can keep VLOS easily (especially when you look away briefly and suddenly you've lost your drone.
  • Crashes, I had crashes every 25%, however when I restarted the app it would be stuck at DJI SDK Initialising. I had a method which kind of worked around it as just stopping the app and restarting was not enough (explained below).

How I got around Initalising DJI SDK (if crashed mid app):

  1. App crashes
  2. Go to DJI Fly App
  3. Go Fly Button, you should see your video feed
  4. Close the DJI Fly App
  5. Go to app info and force close
  6. Go back to Dronelink DJI

This worked pretty much everytime apart from after a battery change to get dronelink past the Initialising DJI SDK. I don't know why it works but my bet is when I do this is unhooks the controller from the Dronelink app maybe as an ownership thing (maybe, idk, its a guess).

Also after a battery change this didn't work and it was a lot of disconnecting the controller, doing this until it started working. It started working once android asked permission to allow the controller to interface with the app if that helps. 

Let me know if you want more info :)

    i ran into this problem today, panicked, had no control over the drone, turned the whole controller off and that triggered the rth function. so i will give your work around tomorrow a try. thanks!
