    Dropbox on V3 controller?

    I can't remember for sure, but I think I was able to do that on the v.2 smart controller. However, an easier solution to using DB to move files back and forth, assuming that is your goal, is to just use a web browser interface on the controller with your Dropbox account.

    July 2024 - Nano+ in UK now geofenced or not?

    There in no geo-fencing on Autel drones in the US.

    Best Firmware for Mapping With Evo2 V2

    Okay great, thanks! I still have a version of the firmware that uses Explorer 1 and still has stop to turn. Using the current firmware 2.4.43, is continuing a mission after battery swap and writing of the PPK files and RTK image exif files working as expected? Those are the things Autel...

    So, firmware 2.4.43 and Explorer V2, correct?

    Best Firmware for Mapping With Evo2 V2

    Hey Guys. I have not been using my Evo2 V2 for quite awhile. Looking for input from the mapping community on what version firmware they are using that they are happy with? Thank you!

    Can't connect to Smart Controller

    If you have a version 1 based upon the standard controller having the orange parts, and they sold you a version 2 smart controller stating it was for a version 1. Then it is their mistake. Send it back for the correct version or a refund. V1 smart controllers do come up for sale from time to...

    Can't connect to Smart Controller

    Orange hinges on the standard remote is a V1, black hinges is V2. On the smart controller, orange showing in the vent is V2 and black is V1.

    PPK surveys? (Emlid Studio + Pix4DMapper) What about the "omega, phi, kappa" orientations?

    I don't know exactly how the parameters are used by processing software. But, I think that their use increases the ability of the software to properly determine the position of the camera when it took the image. And therefore, helps the software to arrive at a good camera calibration to apply to...

    PPK surveys? (Emlid Studio + Pix4DMapper) What about the "omega, phi, kappa" orientations?

    Emlid Studio is a work in progress and is not yet the best tool for PPK drone work. Pick up a copy of RedToolbox. It is more mature, and is designed for drone use.

    Should I have gotten a Max vs 640Tv3?

    I've kept our v.2 ent. rtk because it does work, and it is a hedge against DJI's geofencing. It's been a couple of years, but I have been bitten by DJI's geofence database that incorrectly had a private airport near a project. Autel has been such a disappointment. They had the correct pieces...

    Should I have gotten a Max vs 640Tv3?

    Autel has abandoned support in short order for every craft they have manufactured all the way up to the Dragon fish. Autel will probably be around for years. But the hope that they would be a meaningful alternative to DJI has been decimated by Autel leadership. Too bad.

    RTK not ready

    No problem. And, the process was called "binding" before DJI was a company!! 🤔 :cool:

    RTK not ready

    Just a FYI, It's called "binding" the controller to the aircraft. This was done long before the bluetooth or wifi protocols existed. :) It's not a big deal, but may as well use the correct terminology, right!

    KML file

    Unfortunately, the RS+ is a single frequency transceiver a the Evo RTK uses a dual freq. They are not compatible. You need a dual freq. gnss like the RS2+. The Evo receives RTK corrections over NTRIP. The RS2+ can act as a base and send corrections to the Evo over NTRIP when all of the...
