DJI Mission Installer is a Windows desktop application designed to simplify the process of transferring custom waypoint mission files (.kmz) to DJI devices that use the DJI Fly app, such as the DJI RC, RC2, Smart Controller, or any Android phone connected to a controller.
It provides a clear, two-pane interface to view your local mission files and the waypoint slots on your device, allowing you to replace missions and automatically generate new preview images.
- Dual Connection Modes: Connect via ADB (Android Debug Bridge) for fast, reliable transfers, or MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) for simple, driver-free access.
- Intuitive Two-Pane View: Easily manage your computer's local KMZ files and the waypoint missions on your connected DJI device side-by-side.
- Automatic Preview Generation: When a mission is transferred, the app fetches a map tile from ESRI's World Imagery service, overlays it with the mission name and date, and uploads it as the new preview.
- Intelligent Device Detection: Automatically scans and lists compatible Android devices that have the required DJI Fly folder structure.
- Real-time File Monitoring: Your local KMZ source folder is watched for changes, and the file list updates automatically.
- Sorting: Both local and device file lists can be sorted by name (using a natural string comparison), date, or size.
- Modern & Responsive UI: Built with WPF for a clean, asynchronous, and user-friendly experience on Windows.
- Windows 10 or newer.
- .NET 9.0 Desktop Runtime (or newer).
- A DJI controller (or Android device) that uses the DJI Fly App.
- Navigate to the Releases page.
- Download the
.ziparchive from the latest release. - Extract the contents to a permanent folder on your computer.
- Run
DJI Mission Installer.exe.
This application supports two protocols for communicating with your device. The optimal choice depends on your controller model.
- ADB (Android Debug Bridge): This is the preferred method. It is faster, more reliable, and provides better device feedback. It requires a one-time setup on your controller to enable "USB Debugging."
- MTP (Media Transfer Protocol): This is the standard mode for transferring files, like a digital camera. It requires no special setup but can sometimes be slower or less reliable, occasionally requiring you to unplug and reconnect the device.
| Device Model | Recommended Mode | Setup Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| DJI RC, RC Pro, Smart Controller | ADB | 1. Enable Developer Options: Go to Settings > About and tap on the Build Number seven times until you see a "You are now a developer!" message. 2. Enable USB Debugging: Go back to Settings, find the new Developer Options menu, and enable USB Debugging. |
| Android Phone / Tablet | ADB | Follow the same steps as above for enabling Developer Options and USB Debugging in your device's Android settings. |
| DJI RC2 | MTP | The DJI RC2 connects in MTP mode by default and does not officially support ADB. For the vast majority of users, MTP is the only option. Simply connect the controller to your PC with a USB cable and select the MTP radio button in the app. |
- Launch the application.
- Connect your device: Connect your DJI controller or Android phone to your computer via USB.
- Select Connection Type: At the top of the window, select the ADB or MTP radio button based on the guide above.
- Refresh and Select Device: Click the Refresh button. Your connected device should appear in the dropdown menu. Select it.
- Choose a Source File: In the left "KMZ Files" list, select the mission file you want to transfer. If the list is empty, click "Choose Folder" to select the directory where you store your
.kmzfiles. - Choose a Destination Slot: In the right "Device Waypoints" list, select the mission you wish to replace.
- Transfer: Click the Transfer Selected File button. A success message will appear once the process is complete. The device list will refresh to show the updated file.
- Safely disconnect your device. Your new mission is now ready in the DJI Fly app!
If you want to build the project yourself, follow these steps.
- Visual Studio 2022 with the ".NET desktop development" workload installed.
- .NET 9.0 SDK.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Alos-no/DJI-Mission-Installer.git
- Open the
DJI Mission Installer.slnsolution file in Visual Studio. - Restore the NuGet packages (this should happen automatically).
- Build the solution (F6 or
Build > Build Solution). The executable will be insrc/bin/Debugorsrc/bin/Release.
This project is built with C# 12 and .NET 8, using the following key technologies and libraries:
- WPF: For the graphical user interface.
- MVVM Pattern: Using the
CommunityToolkit.Mvvmlibrary for a clean separation of UI and logic. - AdvancedSharpAdbClient: A .NET library for communicating with Android devices via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB).
- MediaDevices: For accessing device storage via the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP).
- SixLabors.ImageSharp: A powerful, cross-platform 2D graphics library used for generating and watermarking the map preview images.
- ESRI ArcGIS REST Services: Used to fetch satellite map tiles for the preview images.
