[GUIDE] How to use Litchi Hub with DJI Fly

https://www.litchiutilities.com/

Thanks very much, Mike. That’s very helpful.

:+1: glad to help. Enjoy.

After making changes to the file in Litchi Hub and exporting the file back to the RC2 controller, the waypoint changes have been made, but the POI are all missing. Is this a known issue?

I’ve just had a quick look at the wmpl. There are some ‘placemark’ tags which have the coordinates of the POI. In the original version, there some tags with a value of ‘towardPOI’. In the modified version ‘towardPOI’ doesn’t appear anywhere in the exported kmz.

Fixed it. The imported waypoints were not using the POI for the heading or gimbal.

The Mavic 4 Pro has to be turned on with the controller correct? I just turn on the controller and there is no way to access camera view, waypoint missions.

If what you are trying to do I’m import a KMZ file to DJI Fly, you do not need to turn the drone on and connect it. All you need is the controller running DJI Fly. Once connected to your computer, navigate to the waypoints folder and replace the dummy KMZ file with the one created in the Mission Hub.

Guide updated to include Smart DJI Fly Export powered by Litchi Hub Bridge!

Well done. I really like it. I am just wondering why even if I correctly overwrite the KMZ with Litchi Bridge it doesn’t know change the name on the DJI Fly App (I have RC2 controller). Thank you. P.S.: in Litchi Bridge the name has changed correctly.

On Android, we can’t change the name of the DJI Fly flight. We can only do that with iPhone/iPad.

I am having some troubles with this.
DJI rc PRO 2. Litchi hub bridge working ok.
Can get it to overwrite the files…sometimes, after a few goes at it.
Make new simple primary mission files in the controller, to use as the target.
completely intermittent and unreliable whether it works or not.
Is there some problem with this controller ?

Please update to latest bridge version (v1.5 for mac or v1.0.50.0 for windows), then you can report a problem when overwrite fails to send us your logs so we can investigate.

Make sure that the mission you are trying to overwrite is not loaded/displayed in DJI Fly when you perform the import. If it is, it will not be overwritten.

I have quite a few waypoints in my controller. I have followed the instructions. Still not getting anything showing up.

Mind, I do not see how to set up the controller, as I am still a bit new to it, and I can’t see how to do this “Trust This Computer on iOS. You should then see your DJI Fly waypoint flights listed”

Is this done on the computer or the Controller? I get totally lost at this point. Thank you for your help. I think I need an idiot’s guide to doing it.

Would you clarify which controller you have? Below you mention iOS. This suggests you are using and iPhone or iPad, in which case, the controller (RC-N2) would not be involved with a transfer.

If you are using an iPhone/iPad, the controller is not involved with the loading or display of waypoint missions. It is only if you have a screened controller such as the RC2 that you would plug the controller into your computer. If you use an iPhone/iPad to run DJI Fly, you plug the iPhone/iPad into the computer.

I am using the DJI RC 2

Ok. The transfer process has nothing to do with iOS then. Try these steps:

  1. Connect the RC2 to your computer using a USB-C cable.
  2. Turn the RC2 on.
  3. Start Litchi Hub Bridge (it runs in the background).
  4. In a browser, load the new Litchi Mission Hub and open a mission designed for your drone (Mini 5 Pro, Air 3S, etc.)
  5. Select the export/import button.
  6. The “smart export” window should open and show any flights on your RC2 controller.

This! I’d seriously pay for the ability to overwrite the DJI Fly names as I’m overwriting the KMZ files.

Use case: I’m frequently doing 10-20 maps at a time. As it is, I have to open each one, figure out which one it is (not always easy because they’re all in the same location), then go back out and rename the map in DJI Fly.

Update: I’ve now seen some of the comments that it’s not possible with the RC2 (Android) but is with IOS. Am I thinking about it correctly that the name is stored in a file that isn’t editable by the Litchi bridge process? And if so, do we know what file that is?
