Brad Reid · Jul 6, 2018

DJI has released waypoint missions in the SDK. My app will be supporting it early next week:

How is it you have access in advance?

Do you have video of the flight video that you can post here? I'm curious if this mode will smoothen out the Sparks Yaw challenges.

I would like to know more about this. What is your app called?

Bob Johnston · Jul 7, 2018

Its on the Android Playstore as of now. Litchi site has not updated their "Whats New" on their site.

OldBlueHeron · Jul 8, 2018

Litchi beta now has waypoints and orbit for Spark.

Cool, maybe we will get those also in dji go.

graywoulf · Jul 9, 2018

Apparently this is for Android only as I cannot find it for iOS by that name.

What is so Cool with Lichi?

Kidroc · Jul 10, 2018

Everything about litchi is Cool.

Just used the litchi beta with the spark works a treat. No if only litchi would use the otg for spark this would be my go to app for my Mavic Pro and spark.

Flight Plan for DJI on the app store

Brad Reid · Jul 10, 2018

The app is now out on iOS: Flight Plan - Beyond The Cube

I didn't have an advanced version. DJI publicly released an updated SDK.

Brad, I am interested in your app.

What will happen with the Spark, if connection is lost during Waypoint mission?
Will it continue to fly the mission with the new DJI SDK for the Spark?

Yep it will continue to fly and if needed it will go into failsafe mode (and return to home)

Confusing... Waypoints have been in the SDK since forever, just not enabled on the Spark.
No new announcements on developer.dji.com or Github.

Which version of sdk is it either 4.6 or updated 4.7 plus can you guide me that either drone initially returning its home location or not? I am having issue of drone not return its location mostly (except one or 2 times) in pakistan due to which waypoint mission don't initiate?

How does that app compare to Litchi ?

I was using Litchi 4.8.0 g last weekend on OTG and no problems at all with spark and find much better radio strength report in airdata.
oops just realised I'm replying to old post !

Yeah they finally gave it to the sdk that and the FCC switching cancel button so your bird would stay in FCC and not switch back into CE for us in European countries.
