DJI Skyport

6X Series Sensors Integration Communication Protocol - DJI Skyport

Requirements

DJI Skyport operation is available on DJI Skyport equipped hardware:

Interface Varients | 6X Multispectral Sensor User Guide

To have the 6X sensor operate in this mode, the camera must be set up for the DJI Skyport, Gimballed configuration:

If the 6X is not configured for this mode, follow the instruction to update the configuration:

How To Change Configuration | 6X Multispectral Sensor User Guide

Mode Description

In this mode, the 6X is tightly integrated with the DJI airframe. This allows for gimbal control and image triggering from the DJI hand controller (e.g., using the FieldAgent iOS application). All data necessary for metadata population is available and automatically written to generated imagery.

Skyport Hardware Compatibility

DJI has produced two versions of Skyport hardware, designated as Skyport-V1 and Skyport-V2. A Sentera gimbal built with Skyport-V2 hardware will contain an etching or sticker on the back of the assembly:

A Sentera gimbal built with Skyport-V1 hardware will not contain a corresponding etching or sticker. DJI aircraft only support specific versions of DJI Skyport hardware. The list of compatibility follows:

DJI Airframe	Skyport Hardware Compatibility
M200/M210 V1	Skyport-V1 only
M200/M210 V2	Skyport-V1 only
M300 RTK	Skyport-V1 and Skyport-V2
M350 RTK	Skyport-V2 only

Contact Sentera if desiring to fly a Sentera gimbal on an incompatible DJI airframe. It's possible for Sentera to modify a gimbal (e.g., Skport-V1 -> Skyport-V2), but this requires significant hardware modification.

Stand alone Sentera GPS mode can still be used if operating on an incompatible airframe. Additional setup will be required though (e.g., configuration of 6X overlap percentage) as the camera is no longer tightly integrated with the airframe.

Skyport Firmware Compatibility

DJI aircraft require a specific version of DJI Skyport firmware to operate successfully. The following list identifies this required firmware:

DJI Aircraft	Skyport-V1 Firmware	Skyport-V2 Firmware
M200/M210 V1	v01.03.0009	-
M200/M210 V2	v01.04.0000	-
M300 RTK	v01.04.0000	V01.03.05.00
M350 RTK	-	V01.03.05.00

The version of DJI Skyport firmware can be viewed and upgraded using the DJI Assistant 2 application. See DJI documentation for detail and instructions.
