Android Question DJI Phantom with virtual joystick feature

[solutionhacker]

Hello Erel,

Thank you for your wonderful DJI Drones library! It is a great implementation and this gave me many good ideas. I have a DJI Phantom 3 standard and I see that on the DJI mobile SDK documentation that virtual sticks can be used to control the drone using the app. I want to make an app that can fly the drone with the phone's accelerometer. My Phantom 3 connects to the remove via WiFi and not the micro USB.

Do you have any code or suggestions that I can achieve this using your library? Thanks in advance!

The virtual sticks API was not wrapped. If you are familiar with JavaObject then you can probably access this API with JavaObject. The API is documented here: https://developer.dji.com/api-refer...gory_sendvirtualstickflightcontroldata_inline

It is more advanced than most other features.

Thanks! I will explore that API and try writing the functionality with JavaObject. I am thinking of using a Timer to get the data sent between 5~25 Hz as noted by the documentation. It is definitely a bit tricky. Is there any chance you may release an updated wrapper for that in the future?

Hi,

Did you succeed in using virtual Joysticks ?
I would like to try to use this feature to control a mavic mini (to substitute to waypoints for instance, or even to interface the drone with a real joystick).

I found these links which seems to demonstrate that this integration is quite feasible :

And these impressive videos :



But I am not familiar with javaobject... I don't know where to start !
