Bill, My apologies, I left out a stement that we would only consider further development if we could maintain flight monitoring in some fashion. It would highly reckless of us to toss the UAS in the air and 'hope' all goes well. Lol Monitoring would absolutely be required to enforce safe...

Update on Advanced Mission Planning App: No Promises: But this is looking doable. To be clear, this would not be an application that would modify the existing Autel Explorer app, this would a stand-alone Mission Planning app with features being rolled out over time. If it works the way I...

The Chinese translates to: "The KML File Format Is Wrong".

Bill, I would absolutely like to avoid chaos at all costs.. If the method to "upload" a mission to the aircraft involves pushing the JSON .txt file to the aircraft. It would indeed be chaotic if the aircraft flight path differed from the mission designed in the app. In this instance it would...

You will need to fill out the form linked in the QR Code with your Rugged Bundle SN to see if your eligible for the 1yr subscription. Pix4D will email a license activation if you match up. Best of Luck, -Casey

I purchased mine about 7-days ago, with the GPC case Rugged bundles from EmpireDrone. In the bottom layer, under the airframe tray, was a folder with the subscription information. I can provide some more details in the morning. In the meantime: Here is the Pix4D Press Release about the...

Pix4D, the folks behind DroneLink seem to have a good working relationship with Autel Robotics so far. It bodes well for a 3rd Party mission planning platform. If happen to own a recently sold Evo II Pro Rugged Bundle you will note that it came with a 1 year subscription to Pix4DReact. A rapid...

Continuing some of this discussion, a few months later.. After reading through 14 CFR Part 89, wheww thats long I have satisfied my curiosity about a few things. Serial Number Formats: Section F. of 14 CFR Part 87 uses some pretty standard language when it comes down to it. You will note...

Bill, Good ideas: I had a few thoughts along those lines and brainstorming and looking for a way to monitor the traffic between the App and the UAS to see what is getting uploaded to the IMU storage. That is the reference to my test flights that the storms have put on hold. To be...

I haven't gotten a dev on-board yet, but I did find some very useful information about the mission.db yesterday. I am going to fly a few missions on my rooted phone as soon as the stormy weather clears up to confirm my findings. I will keep you apprised. -Casey

@gshulzuio: Agreed, and I have already done this .. one of the Quality Engineers indicated that it was not a priority for them. Their APP team is focused on a few things that aren't terribly interesting to me at the moment. I will post their roadmap reply below. -Casey

Bill, In regards to the JSON file being for show, I am not sure if I would agree entirely. In the decompiled code there are references to the JSON but they are just stubs.. If I were a betting man, I would say this was the devs way of paving the road for missions import and export, but never...

Bill, Sorry for the delayed response, I was pretty much swamped with real life all week. I have gained access to the SDK and have started poking around it the documentation and the code base. I agree with you, that the SDK is mostly intended for a ground up implementation. Since they don't...

@autelBill, Yes, the major impediment is the rooted requirement. However it isn't a matter of copying the files from one location to another. After extracting the APK and looking into the decompiled methods the JSON file is simply a mission template for some data transformation methods in the...

Good Day: I know this has been discussed before, but I don't know if anyone has posted the Autel Explorer App's file storage locations. I have been investigating on my Pixel 3XL that I use for development and debugging and made note of a few file locations that might help a developer more...
