4.4 General Purpose Servo Action (GP-Servo Action) 

GP-Servo Action is supported by one of  the servo output channels in the transmitter, which  will  work as an 

interface between DJI autopilot system and external devices. This feature allows DJI autopilot to operate your 

external devices automatically during basic aircraft waypoint mission. 

 

GP-Servo Action Setting 

 

STEP1: 

Click  ToolBox

GP Servo Action Config to open the  General Purpose Servo Action Config 

windows; 

STEP2: 

Click the box Action Mode OnOff to enable the GP-Servo Action function; 

STEP3: 

For ACE, the GP-Servo uses the output channel F4 in the MC; for WKM, the GP-Servo uses 

the output channel F1 in the MC. 

 

Notices: 

The servo position value is from -1000 to 1000; the Stay Time is in second.

 

The software aims to let you program four different servo positions, use servo for example. 

 

Initial servo position and three specific servo working positions. 

 

Timing of each servo transition in one GP-Servo Action cycle. 

 

The repeat time of a GP-Servo Action assignment on a particular assigned way point. 

 

Time gap between each GP-Servo Action assignments. 

Please assign a default position for servo in natural status, and others 3 positions as well as the time to stay in 

such  positions  for  servo  to  work  as  assigned.  After  all  settings  (click  Set  to  save  the  settings),  then  click 

Trigger you review the GP-Servo Action, as we explained in
