So I’m using the Litchi hub to plan a flight, works perfectly. I upload it to my DJI RC2 smart controller without any issues. But when I go to the location with my Lito X1, take off and start the waypoint mission the controller says maximum altitude reached, flight suspended. Even at 1m or 2m altitude. Yeah I’m using metric because I’m Dutch…
So is this an 1D 10T error or is there another explanation?
Actually, it is the drone that limits the height above take-off. Litchi’s limit is 500 meters over take-off. Even though you may be planning a mission using the “Above Ground” option, the drone is only able to determine its height above take-off.
There is no problem in Litchi’s configuration. Depending on what country you are in, you may be able to use the DJI app (Fly or Go4) to increase the drone’s limit. That limit is stored in the drone. Then, a Litchi mission will be able to fly under that increased limit that is stored in the drone.
Litchi uses an elevation API to calculate the above-ground height based on the ground elevation under WP1 or the specified take-off location. The Mission Hub will display the specified above-ground heights but internally, Litchi uses the calculated above take-off heights. Also, Litchi does not reference or use anything related to sea level.
Use the DJI app to increase the maximum height that is stored in the drone.
