    DJI Ground Station for PC - huge WP labels

    Moving from one to another PC I'm facing a big problem with big fonts. All labels for waypoints and waypoint distances, overlays on Google Earth background, suddenly appear huge. I'm using a 3200x1800 13" display. GS version is 4.0.9. Any idea what's wrong?

    Skyline Setup Issues - Auto Tune doesn't work

    I'm trying to setup my Skyline on a AV200, everything looks fine until I hit "Auto Tune". The gimbal immediately rotates (rolls) to the right, until it hits the stop collar with quite some speed. I then have to switch off the power in order to not break the servo or anything else. I tried this...

    Skyline Setup Problems with Roll Axis

    I'm trying to setup my new Skyline gimbal stabilization system, not with much success so far. While the tilt axis seems to work well, the roll axis behaves very strange. I did a firmware upgrade to 1.2.2 successfully and started the setup by calibration (Set Level XY, Set Level Z). So far so...

    Positive answer to feature request

    Another positive feedback: My feature request to DJI has finally been heard and answered "We are working on that, please be patient." I was asking to respect IOC (intelligent orientation control) in waypoint mode too (GroundStation controlled), so that one could yaw the MR (manually or at least...

    Responsive Tech Support :-)

    After all the complaining about not properly working firmware releases, a positive notice: My request to DJI tech support claiming that I cannot properly start GS anymore was answered less than 24 hours later. They offered to remote login in order to find the issue. Fortunately enough the...

    Altitude calibration - when?

    When does WKM calibrate it's barometric pressure/altitude sensor, a) only during power-up (that's pretty obvious) b) during power-up and when setting altitude offset in Ground Station (GS)? In order to (better) understand how GS deals with altitude/height, this is an interesting detail to know.

    Inadequate stabilization in windy conditions

    Yesterday I flew the first time with some wind, not much, about 15 km/h (10 miles per hour). Instead of a perfect stabilization in calm conditions, the MR waggles quite significantly. Altidude control is fine. Current gain settings for my 6kg AD-8 (incl. payload) are: - Basic Pitch/Roll/Yaw...

    Ground Station: VPN Mode

    Can anyone tell me what DJI refers to when talkling about VPN Mode. For me, VPN stands for virtual private network -- no idea how this term is related to online/offline usage of GS depending on whether you have internet access (online) or no internet access (offline). VPN according to...

    Preventing a MR from taking off inadvertently

    Quite often (e.g. using GS simulation mode) I need to power-up my MR in order to do some testing, however, I want to make sure that the aircraft doesn't take off inadvertently. DJI suggests to disconnect the motors / ESCs in such a case, but my motors / ESCs are hard-wired to the power...

    Shall I get rid of Manual Mode?

    I'm using my MR for aerial imaging only, no sports flying whatsoever. After some 20 flights I come to the conclusion that I'm going to reprogram my Tx so that there is no MANUAL MODE (switch position) anymore. I actually never used it, but more than once, I switched to manual inadvertently. Do...

    LED/GPS outage

    Today it happened to me the 2nd time that the LED and the GPS "subsystem" did not work properly after power-up. Because I didn't realize the LED not blinking, I launched my MR and flew in Atti mode - everything looked fine. Switching to GPS/Atti mode I now realized that the MR didn't hold it's...

    Autopilot Gains

    I'm about to fine tune my autopilot gains. Current settings for my 6 kg AD-8 are: 240/240/200/200 - 220/220 (Pitch/Roll/Yaw/Vertical - Atti Pitch/Atti Roll). My AD-8 flies pretty well, apart from a slight roll/pitch oscillation (~1-2 Hz) while moving in Atti or GPS/Atti mode. I read the...

    WKM / Ground Station Poll

    After using DJI's WKM system and Ground Station-based waypoint flying, I have mixed feelings. There are outstanding things like WKM's stabilization capabilities and much more, but there are also issues here and there. If I'm going to confront DJI with my personal "feelings" they probably won't...

    WKM with SBus - channel mapping?

    Until now I used WKM with Futaba SBUS without gimbal control. Besides the 4 basic functions I also used X2 (Ch5), X3 (Ch6) and U (Ch7) for different switching functions, as proposed in the WKM manual. Now I want to also add my AV200 2-axis gimbal. For an octocopter, I have to use T and R...

    DJI Ground Station - missing(?) features

    I'm using GS for a few weeks now. Besides a nice (Google 3D) map and a perfect stabilization by WKM, I'm missing some rather important ground control features. Please confirm or, even better, help me out with workarounds. Missing features / questions: Is there a way of "looking sideways"...

    Any DJI Ground Station experts?

    I'm using DJI's Ground Station software for aerial imaging with my AD-8 octocopter / Wookong-M flight control system. Are there any DJI Ground Station experts out there? There are quite some questions I would like to discuss. Thank you for dropping a note.
