Connecting to Rededge-P WiFi

You have the ability to connect to the Rededge-P sensor via wifi. These are the steps to do so...

Ensure the Rededge-P is powered on

Connect the sensor to the DJI M300

Connect the DLS2 into the Skyport on the Rededge-P

Power up the DJI M300

Connect to the WiFi of either sensor

If fully assembled the RedEdge-P will be the only camera broadcasting a network to connect to

Refer to

Sensor Information⁠

for SSID & password for each camera

Once you have connected to the sensors’ network, Search “

192.168.10.254⁠

“

This should direct you to the AgEagle Camera App where you can configure the settings for the sensors

Configuration of the Rededge-P Dual Camera System

For the Rededge-P Dual Camera System there are a couple of settings that need to be reconfigured. Below are the 3 main settings....

In a multi-camera configuration, only ONE camera can be set to Main on network mode.

For this dual camera system:

RedEdge-P - Main

RedEdge-P Blue - Auxiliary

DLS 2 - Auxiliary

RedEdge-P Blue Configuration

The RedEdge-P Blue is mounted in a way that the Wi-Fi dongle can’t fit when mounted with the RedEdge-P. So to configure the RedEdge-P Blue, it needs to be powered on by itself when attached to the Skyport so that it can have the Wi-Fi dongle inserted.

NOTICE

While all of these settings should stay in this configuration.

In the event that the Rededge-P Dual System is not capturing imagery, double check that the settings are set in align within this documentation.

Work Flow

This is the start to finish workflow for using the Rededge-P Dual System with the DJI M300 for a mapping mission

Equipment List

Rededge-P Dual System

DLS2

Calibrated Reflectance Panel (CRP)

Mounting Hardware

Two M3x16mm

Two M3x10mm

5 washers

2 Dampeners

2.5mm Hex Wrench

Express Card Reader

Mounting Rededge-P Dual System

Setup DJI M300

Attach Rededge-P Dual System to the Skyport attachment on the DJI M300

Mount the DLS2 to the top of the M300 (Ensure the DLS2 port is facing the front of the aircraft as shown below)

⁠

⁠

Connect the DLS2 to the Skyport on the Rededge-P Dual System

Once both the DLS2 & Rededge-P Dual System are installed the completed instillation should look like this:

⁠

Fully installed Rededge-P Dual System + DLS2

⁠

Turn on the aircraft & move onto calibrating the system

Calibrating the DLS2

Once the System is powered on, connect to the sensors

WiFi⁠

and go to the

AgEagle Camera App⁠

⁠

Navigate to Settings → DLS Configuration, click Calibrate DLS Mag

⁠

⁠

Follow along with the instructions not the computer to properly calibrate the DLS2

WARNING

This calibration process will require you to pick up the DJI M300 and move it in various directions. Be VERY careful when handling the aircraft

At the end of the Calibration it should report “Calibration Successful”

Now you are ready to start the mission

Flying the Mission

When mission planning, ensure you are following the

Best Practices⁠

as prescribed by MicaSense and if the Rededge-P is not an added sensor in DJI Pilot 2 to refer to

Camera Parameters for DJI Pilot 2⁠

⁠

Before actually flying, the first step is to take a picture of the calibrated reflectance panel (CRP). This is done by holding the sensor/ aircraft and pressing the Red trigger button on the Rededge-P (this will take an image on both the RED & BLUE sensor)

When you are capturing the image of the CRP best practice include:

Hold the sensor/ aircraft about 1m in height over the CRP

Stand with the sun at your back ensuring there is no reflectance of light and there is still sun hitting the CRP. (This may require taking one big step to either side of the CRP)

Once the image has been captured, proceed to flying the mission.

After the mission is over, prior to turning off the aircraft/ sensor make sure you capture an image of the CRP in the same position that you stood in Step 1 of “Flying the Mission”
