DJI A2 Telemetry

Posted by Jonathan Bolich on August 25, 2017 at 7:14pm

I recently got a DJI A2 controller and I am having an issue with getting UGCS to receive telementy. In paticular the Altitude is not working. I also have a NAZA and I don't have any issues with it working.

I have verified that the A2 is working because when I use DJI Ground station, I get all the readings. I did have an issue with the connection when it would autosearch for the com port, but as soon as I changed it to only look at the correct port (com6 for me), I do get most of the telementy, just not the altitude above grade.

The A2 is using all the latest versions and I am using the 2.4ghz datalink. As for UgCS, I tried with 2.11 and then also tried 2.12 with same results.

    Thanks Alexey,

    That's good to know. Since I bought the controller used, thought it could be an issue with it.

    Thanks for the help and information.

    No, it's common logic. UgCS will show RAW altitude (reported by drone relative to current position) all the time, but to calculate AGL/ASML it requires uploaded route. Just checked with Phantom 2 and Mavic.

    thanks for the reply, I do see everything else. Is this just something with the A2 controller?

    Hi Jonathan, do you see everything except altitude above ground and above sea level? It's normal, you will see them after route upload.
