    Drone got wet... now says "disconnected".

    Yes, I can still connect to the wifi using my tablet, although, as ArmyVet points out, this is not surprising because the controller didn't get wet. Which component is most likely to be the problem here? Is it even possible to buy parts?

    Drone got wet... now says "disconnected".

    My Phantom 3 got wet, so I took it apart and let it dry for several days. I put it together again today. It turns on and the motors start fine, but there is no video feed and the app says `disconnected`. I`m not sure if this is because some component was damaged by the water or if I just...

    Litchi waypoint actions out of range

    Yes, I have read the manual many times, and again just now. It is somewhat ambiguous. Has anyone actually tried the camera tilt function on an out of range mission?

    Phantom circuit diagram

    Does anyone know where I can see a really good Phantom 3 circuit diagram, and especially the camera/gimbal? Thanks

    Litchi waypoint actions out of range

    My understanding was that that only applies to so-called "automatic" gimbal pitch control, ie Focus POI or Interpolate. Perhaps I`m wrong though. Does anyone have any experience using the "tilt camera" waypoint action on out of range flights?

    Litchi waypoint actions out of range

    Does this include *moving* the camera eg using the `tilt camera` function?

    Litchi waypoint actions out of range

    Hello, I would like to perform waypoint actions on out of range missions. There is nothing in the Litchi iOS manual that says this isn't possible. But some people have said they can't do it, especially for gimbal actions. Should I have no problems running waypoint actions out of range? Or do...

    Turning on equipment at a waypoint on an out of range flight

    Yes, I thought about using the "rotate aircraft" function with an accelerometer to detect when it rotates. However, I think this might be activated too soon by vibration, so I would rather hijack an electronic signal from the aircraft to its motors or camera. The trouble is I don't know what...

    Turning on equipment at a waypoint on an out of range flight

    I would like to plan a mission in Litchi, and turn on some equipment (a little pump) when the Phantom reaches a waypoint, then turn it off at the next one. For example, I thought I could have a waypoint action that turns on the video, but instead of turning on the video it turns on my pump...

    Litchi says "mission ended" at the start of the mission

    I flew some autonomous missions in Litchi yesterday. On several of the flights, the mission started and Litchi flew to the set alititude, then gave a spoken message saying "mission ended" (or "mission complete" - I can't remember). After saying this, sometimes it just hovered and sometimes it...

    Litchi waypoint action - turn on lights

    I'm new to Litchi, but I can see that you can choose to perform actions, such as hover, rotate etc, when waypoints are reached. Is there any way to turn on the lights when a waypoint is reached? (I am controlling another piece of equipment from the lights).

    Autonomous flight with GPS

    Sorry for my slow reply. I'm using the lights to control an air pump- it's going to take air samples so we can measure the concentration of pollutants, and calculate emission rates.

    Excellent - thank you Bryan.

    Autonomous flight with GPS

    Thanks for your help guys. I have a couple of questions about Litchi: - Do you need an internet connection in the field to download maps? Or can you download and save them to use later in remote areas? - Can you turn the front lights on and off using Litchi? I've plugged another piece of...
