Drones For Hire completed yet another full day of setup and training for a new T30 spray drone customer near Braidwood NSW.
We find it’s more stable to update the aircraft firmware via a cable from the laptop directly into the T30 instead of doing it via the RC.

Updating the firmware on the RC
The new SpaceX system is used for low latency, broadband internet - helps speed up the firmware update processes dramatically.
The DJI Ag management platform (free with your Agras) automatically logs all your flights, the amount sprayed/spread, the locations sprayed (map overlay), and various other useful data for you and for the land owners.

The T30 controller (RC) has a nice large bright screen, both internal and replaceable aux battery (wb37) for redundancy. An excellent and intuitive menu for settings management and Field Mission Planning, and an RTK dongle (grey device on top) for high accuracy spray area boundary planning.
The T20’s spreader (hopper) carries a load of rye grass seed. The hopper can carry 40kg of dry particles such as seeds, fertilizer, mouse baits, or e.g. flupropanate granule herbicide.

Preparing for the maiden flight!
Another happy customer – feeling prepared and ready to put the T30 to work – spraying chemical and spreading seeds.
