Autonomous Waypoint Navigation and Camera Control with the FreeSkies Copilot
- Thread starter Freeskies Inc.
- Start date
I met the three founding team members this week as well, great group of guys. Can't wait to test the beta version of this. If it works like I'm expecting, this will be the software that puts the P3 in an entirely new class of consumer drones.

As of right now, you are still restricted to development firmware to be loaded on the P3P before your APP will work. There is NO support for this on P3A because of DJI.
Hi Everyone,
FreeSkies sent a very important update this afternoon to all users who are currently signed up for the beta. This update included information concerning hardware and software compatibility for the initial release of the Copilot Beta. If you believe that you have signed up for the beta, but have not received any messages from us in the past 24 hours (please make sure to check your Spam folder), shoot us an email at [email protected] and we'll get back to you.

When are You going to tell everyone that currently developer firmware is required to be loaded on P3P and will only load over 1.1.9 or earlier and will not work on P3A.
In my opinion you should have been straight up front about this.

Yeah, you screw it up. First of all - you said "Beta for P3" Now it is only for P3P, then you add iOS 9 only and 1.2.6. update will not work. What a bunch of.... (moderator will ban me if I continue my speech) see moderator - I am getting better
Good grief! Are you just upset that you can't participate now?! I think it was something that wasn't thought of until just recently. I don't think they were "hiding" anything. The e-mail explained it all. Oh, BTW, I'm out too, as I have the 1.2.6 firmware installed. Bummer.
We're sorry that you won't be able to participate in the beta. We of course would love to have you, but unfortunately this issue is out of our hands. Hopefully DJI can implement a fix once the next revision of firmware is released.
On a side note, we will be releasing a video soon (sometime next week) showing a preview of the beta and it's functionality. You don't need any DJI firmware to enjoy that!

I knew this requirement on their very first post.
No, they knew at the start, it is very clear in the DJI developmental efforts. However it is nice to see this work in IOS.

When we began development, we were under the impression (as was the case at the time) that changing from the public firmware to the SDK firmware was possible with a hitch. This was because the most recent public firmware at the time did not have the issue that v1.2.6 has with downgrading to SDK firmware. We're sorry for any confusion this may have caused.

hi, your notice regarding beta firmware 01.01.1007 and v1.26 is incorrect. you can install the beta SDK firmware over v1.26. This was confirmed by DJI here:
http://forum.dji.com/thread-23881-1-1.html
Plus, there are many users using the beta SDK over 1.26 testing out a competitor's android app.
Will this (and I imagine all such apps) have the same 5 mile no waypoint restriction mentioned by DJI? My favorite river by my house to fly up and down is just on the 5 mile perimeter, flying low and no where near the usual airport approaches, and well out of the no fly zone....
