IMPORTANT

3. Sort out some settings

We need to make sure the DJI Pilot/Fly app doesn’t interfere with Skippy!

  1. On the controller home screen go to ‘Settings’

  2. Choose ‘apps and notifications’

  3. Scroll down to ‘auto start application selection’ and choose it

  4. Choose ‘None’
    <<make sure DJI Fly / DJI Pilot 2 is not selected.>>
    You can choose Skippy, which will auto-open when you turn on the RC, but only do this if you rarely use the DJI app.

Force DJI Pilot/Fly to close:

  1. On the controller home screen go to ‘Settings’

  2. Choose ‘apps and notifications’

  3. Find DJI Fly/Pilot on the list and tap it

  4. Tap “Force stop” & confirm

Important note: whenever you open DJI Pilot/Fly, it must be forced to close before using Skippy, otherwise it will interfere with Skippy’s control over various drone functions.
Similarly, whenever Skippy has been opened, it must be forced to close before using DJI Fly or DJI Pilot 2.

Finally! Once Skippy is open, please do a full manual data sync (press ‘sync now’ on the home screen) while you have wifi!

Troubleshooting

Known issues…

  • On occasion, the RC Pro, drone and drone batteries all require firmware updates. Please check your firmware is up-to-date by opening the DJI Fly or Pilot. Once updates are complete, please restart both the drone and the RC Pro.

  • Make sure that the Skippy Scout and DJI apps are not running at the same time, as they will interfere with one another, so Force DJI Fly or Pilot to close:

  1. Close the DJI Fly or Pilot app

  2. On the controller home screen go to ‘Settings’

  3. Choose ‘apps and notifications’

  4. Find DJI Fly or Pilot on the list and tap it
    You might need to choose ‘see all apps’

  5. Tap “Force stop” & confirm
