4.2.4 Pre-flight actions with DJI GS Pro app (automated flight)
You should now decide whether to fly a manual or an automated mission. For the first, follow the
instructions in section 4.2.3
“ Pre-flight actions with DJI GO app (only manual flight) ” . For the latter,
follow the instructions in this section. The GS Pro app is preferred for scanning missions as flying in
AUTO mode (using GPS waypoints and long straight-line segments) ensures more stable flight
trajectories and attitudes resulting in more accurate laser point cloud measurements.
WARNING!! NEVER use both apps (Go and GS Pro) simultaneously as they will interfere with each
other and could result in unpredictable behaviour of the STORMBEE. Ensure that they
are not running in the background on your tablet.
1. If you have not done so yet, move the STORMBEE to its take-off location.
2. Launch the DJI GS Pro app. When the app is booted up, it is normal that there is no mention
of the DJI A3 controller as the Lightbridge 2 (LB2) remote controller and STORMBEE are not
powered up yet.
CAUTION! Ignore all updates suggestions as only Think 3D or its authorised maintenance centres
may perform updates to ensure compatibility and correct settings are maintained.
3. Use the laser range finder binocular to measure the height of the relevant obstacles within or
close by your mission area.
4. Program your waypoint mission. Please refer to the GS Pro manual for instructions on how to
do this.
WARNING!! When the mission is programmed and uploaded to STORMBEE, you will see a “Prepare
for flight” pop -up window where the status of the different elements is checked. If all
are green, then the DJI A3 is ready for automated flight. DO NOT PRESS “Start to fly”
as this will immediately initiate STORMBEE to start its programmed mission and
perform an automated take-off. Think 3D requires the pilot to take-off with STORMBEE
in P-GPS mode controlled by the pilot. This allows the pilot to perform some checks
after take-off to ensure STORMBEE is working properly before starting any mission,
manual or otherwise. Only after these take-off checks (described in section 5.2
“ Take-
off procedure ”) are successful, should the pilot press the “Start to fly” button to let
STORMBEE perform its automated mission.
5. Power on the Lightbridge 2 by pressing the power button first short, then long.
