I have an iphone 7+ without sim card, exclusively for use with my Air2s and Litchi.
Normally I go to the Mission site, bluetooth the 7+ to my normal, on-belt iPhone 12 as a hotspot, log the 7+ into Mission Hub, download the pre-planned mission I want, and have previously set up on the PC, and fly it.
Worked fine until I went to a location and there was no mobile signal so I couldn’t log into Mission hub and download the Mission… So-o-o go home and think!
OK, I have it set it up at home on the PC. , I can log the 7+ phone into the PC’s Wifi. I can download the mission to the 7+. Providing I don’t log out and power down the 7+ will everything work for me at the no signal location – providing I fly that day - or within the mission time and 7+ battery life?
Will I have the cached map too?
I intend to try it out in next day or so but does anyone have a feel for this please and any unforeseen risks .
All missions synced between the Litchi Hub and the Litchi app on the 7+, and the cached maps are stored on the 7+ and will stay there even when you power it off.
In fact you should never log out of either the hub or the app, that way all missions wil auto sync when you connect the 7+ to the internet and then start the Litchi app.
The missions in the hub are stored on a Litchi server (cloud) and are available anywhere where an internet connection is available.
TriBar - I ran a trial yesterday - very successful Thank you
The caveat, as you said, is that I must remain logged in whether power on or off on 7+. Logging out must delete all data about missions.
Then add a couple of other learnings from this forum and it was most succesful.
Those learnings were to use “Auto Record”, and eliminate the 2 second delay I’d been putting in to enable Record ON and OFF at first and last waypoint. That, complemented with Curved Turns, gave a complete Video…
As well, RTH which I had previously had mixed results with - I think due to Curved Turns and the impacts of where they were set - worked perfectly
