  • Accurate flight control algorithms

Accurate flight control algorithms

The entire ground control system combines GPS 6DOF inertial measurement unit, magnetometer, and pressure altimeter sensors to optimize robustness of algorithms and robotic control logics. Ground control system utilizes advanced GPS/INS proprietary algorithm technology in the entire design. Even in adverse conditions, high vibration and high demand environments, the aircraft maintains flight stability accurately to ensure mission success rate.

  • Real-time flight monitoring

Real-time flight monitoring

In addition to the aircraft location, heading and altitude, our ground station also provides other flight data such as attitude, air speed, vertical speed, throttle and pitch percentage and servo voltage at all times.

  • Auto return home

Auto return home

Ground Station equipped with intelligent adaptive system. During abnormal signal loss , the system will adjust to environment to activate failsafe appropriately. The aircraft will implement and complete the default route mission automatically, even when datalink signal is lost.

When user is in manual mode, the aircraft will hover when RC signal lost. But after 10S, if the signal doesn’t come back, the aircraft will find the take-off point precisely and return using the safest route and height . Then the aircraft will hover over the take-off point automatically. This function offers the intelligent security protection for user’s expensive aerial equipment. In addition, the user can always click the return button, the system will interrupt the current mission immediately to order to return the aircraft to back the take off point .


  • Keyboard/Joystick Mode

Keyboard/Joystick Mode

Operator can either use keyboard or joystick with ground station system to control the aircraft movements and attitude via DJI data link. Manual mode can be applied when out of radio (transmitter) signal range by using either keyboard or joystick for control. This provision/feature allows control when the radio (transmitter) stops working after the mission has started.

  • Click and go flight

Click and go flight

Click on any point on a 3D map, the aircraft can achieve the coordinates point automatically, particularly useful when some routes cannot be set in advance. Flight altitude and flight speed can also be adjusted rapidly and accurately according to the change of data and waypoints when the user has to change the target and flight mission.

  • Beyond Visual Range (BVR) automatic flight

Beyond Visual Range (BVR) automatic flight

Beyond Visual Range (BVR) of Ground Stations System designed for high-end commercial and industrial automatic flight that requires a reliable long-range wireless communication device (Data Link) and ground station control system (GCS). The flight route, default action of photographs, and airdrop can be planned in advance on the ground station control software.

  • Auto takeoff and landing

Auto takeoff and landing

Waypoint controller advance development offers automatic take off and landing feature which can be applied using either by radio transmitter or ground station keyboard. Take off and landing (ascending and descending) speed is 0.2 to 0.5 meters per second.

  • Customizable waypoints

Customizable waypoints

Users can carry out special settings, such as height, latitude and longitude, flight speed, the nose toward, the turning patterns and residence time etc. User can batch for all destinations, by setting once if required.

  • 6 preset route templates

6 preset route templates

Ground Station provides 6 types of pre-set route templates which are default settings that can assist in completing a mission quickly, in a designated area with set height. The size of coordinates for the mission area, the number of waypoints in the region, the waypoint properties, etc. can be customized. Those templates can be especially applied for vertical photography, precise mapping, spraying agriculture and other industries.

  • 3 waypoint turning mode options

3 waypoint turning mode options

There are 3 different fight routing planning modes: fixed-point turn mode, coordinated turn mode and adaptive coordinated turn mode.

Fixed-point Mode: Aircraft flies to the first fixed point accurately, stays at the fixed point and then flies to the next fixed point . The fixed points and the length of each stay also can be set in advance. Coordinated turning mode: The route of aircraft is calculated with turning speed and turning angle. The aircraft would fly from one point to another point without stopping. Adaptive coordinated turning mode: It is almost the same performance with Coordinated Turning mode. But the flight routine will be more accurately detailed with a planned flight routine in this mode.


  • Custom Servo Channel Control

Custom Servo Channel Control

DJI’s autopilot system provides two servo outputs to support custom servo feature. These two outputs can be used between the controller and or 3rd party devices. These outputs for example can be used for camera shutter operation, air-drop activation or other switching devices.

  • Batch route task setting

Batch route task setting

During a flight mission, task start, delay and repetitive time can be set. By setting the time period, repeat time, start delay and repeat time parameters; operator can customize these functions to a specific application.

  • Editing Real-time flight route momentarily

Editing Real-time flight route momentarily

During flight mission, operator can re-edit mission such as modifying flight routes, or waypoints to achieve a real-time adjustment to complete the objectives. Operator can also click “Pause” button to suspend the mission; aircraft will slow down and hover awaiting new assignment. When and if signal is lost, the system will intelligently pick the optimal route to return home automatically.

  • F channel controller

F channel controller

User also can customise main controller’s F1 to F4 channel ‘ s output signal to achieve the extra device operation such as Servo, Gimbal and Camera controlling.

  • Using Relative Coordinates Editor

Using Relative Coordinates Editor

Relative coordinates Editor is an accurate drawing tool of regular geometric figures on a 3D Map. Operator can set an initial waypoint then next waypoint with angle and distance details. Ground control system will calculate the next waypoint coordinates accurately.

  • Photogrammetry tool

Photogrammetry tool

Photogrammetry tool can be used with DJI aerial photography waypoint system in producing professional and accurate mapping. Thus, simplifies flight mission; a "must have" package for the professional photographer.

  • Simulation

Simulation

Ground control system can simulate real flight environment, operator does not have to perform actual flight to complete mission in simulated mode. The simulation mode is good for training and mission test.

  • Upload/download flight mission
