[Product Introduction

The Guidance system is mainly composed of the Guidance Core and Guidance Sensors, which are installed on the carrier (an aircraft or other robotic platforms) to serve as a positioning guide. The Guidance Sensor collects image data through its cameras and ultrasound data through its ultrasonic
sensors, which is processed into useful information by the Guidance Core, and fed into the DJI flight
control system' via a CAN-Bus cable, or to other intelligent systems via a USB or UART cable. The carrier becomes aware of its surroundings, and can exert functions such as velocity measurement, positioning and obstacle sensing. The Guidance system is fully compatible with the DJI MATRICE flying platform, which is designed with suitable mounting positions for the Guidance modules, and fitted with a CAN-Bus port to allow the on-board flight controller to communicate with the Guidance Core.

5. No overexposure and underexposure is detected on the live preview screen. 6. It is recommended using a desktop PC for calibration.

20 © 2015 DJL AH Righ!S Reserved.Guidance User Manual

Calibration Procedures

Use the following procedures to complete the calibration process. 1. Select one of the calibration directions· front (VBUS1), right (VBUS2), rear (VBUS3), left (VBUS4) or

down (VBUSS).
2. Click Start to begin, and a large ring will appear on the calibration board.
3. Pick up the carrier and point the Guidance Sensor of the selected direction at the calibration board. A

crossed circle will appear once the camera captures the board. Move the carrier up, down, left and right. at a fixed distance from the screen, to adjust the position of the crossed circle until the centers
of the crossed circle and ring coincide. Then move carrier forwards and backwards to adjust the
size of the crossed circle until the sizes of the crossed circle and ring are roughly equal. If the two
conditions above are met, the ring will begin to move after three seconds.
4. Move the carrier so that the crossed circle follows the ring. The two shapes should roughly overlap.
5. While moving the carrier, the software will gather the required images to compute the parameters.

The progress is indicated by the progress bar. Once this process is complete, you may lay down the
carrier while computation takes place. The computed parameters will be sent to the Guidance Core automatically and a notice will tell you when the process is complete.
6. You have now calibrated one Guidance Sensor. Repeat the above procedures to calibrate the other

Guidance Sensors.

Calibration FAQ

1. Q: No ring appears on the calibration board after clicking Start.

A: Check the connection between the Guidance Core and your PC.
2. Q: No crossed circle appears on the calibration board after pointing the camera at the board.

A: Ensure the camera is roughly 30cm away from the computer screen and gently move it back and

forth. Make sure the camera is not blocked by cables or other objects.
3. Q: The ring does not move.

A: The crossed circle will not move within the first three seconds of appearance. After the three

seconds, the crossed circle will only move if the sizes and positions of the crossed circle and the ring are within a certain range. Note that moving the Guidance Sensor back and forth adjusts the
size of the crossed circle, while moving it up, down, left and right adjusts its position.
4. 0: The crossed circle is unable to keep up with the movement of the ring.

A: The movement of the ring only acts as a guide for speed and movement path. In practice, the

crossed circle only needs to loosely follow the movement path of the ring. Slight deviations in their

© 2015 DJ1. All Rights Reserved. 21Guidance User Manual

speeds and movement paths do not affect the calibration result.
5. 0: The crossed circle does not move.

A: Check that the cameras are unobstructed and pointing within the boundaries of the calibration board.

If the crossed circle falls within three grids from the sides of the calibration board, move the camera in the opposite direction or aim it at the center of the calibration board. If adjusting the position of the

camera does notfix the problem, check again to see**~the** cameras are blocked by obstacles.
6. 0: The progress bar for image collection moves very slowly, although the crossed circle moves with
the ring smoothly.
A: Ensure the sizes of the crossed circle and the ring are similar, and that both cameras on the

Guidance Sensor are unobstructed.
7. 0: The computation for parameters take a very long time.

Self-Tesl FAO
1. 0: The Guidance Core LED indicator is Solid Red after self-test.

A: This indicates that the Guidance system hardware self-lest has failed. !>ower off and reconnect all the VBUS cables. You should hear two "clicking" sounds if the cable is connected properly.
Power on the device. If the problem is still notfixed, please contact DJI Support.

2. 0: The Guidance Core LED indicator stays Blinking Red alter power on.

A· The calibration parameters of the downward facing Guidance Sensor (VBUS5) are incorrect. There are two possible cases: Ifthe Guidance Sensor LED indicator is Solid Red, redo the calibration. II the Guidance Sensor LED indicator is Blinking Red, lilt the carrier 50cm above the ground for several seconds, ensuring the downward lacing Guidance Sensor is unobstructed. The Guidance system will automatically detect the calibration parameters. Alternatively, you can take flight to raise the carrier above the ground. The Guidance system func1ions will start If parameter detection is successful.

3. 0: The Guidance Core LED indicator stays Blinking Green after power on.

A: Check the LED indicators of the forward, backward, lefl and right Guidance Sensors. There are
two possible cases: If the Guidance Sensor LED indicator is Solid Red, redo the calibration.
If the Guidance Sensor LED indicator is Blinking Red, lift the aircraft 50cm above the ground
for several seconds, ensuring the Guidance Sensor is unobstructed. The Guidance system will automatically detectthe calibration parameters. You may also choose to flythe aircraftwithout the
obstacle sensing function.

4. Q; The aircraft hovers and maneuvers abnormally after take-off. over a texture-rich surface.

A· Redo the calibration ofthe downward facing Guidance Sensor.

5. 0: The obstacle sensing function does not work even though self-test is successful. The Guidance
Core LED indicator is Blinking Green. A; Check that the forward, backward, left and right Guidance Sensors are mounted in the correct directions.

Choose an appropriate environment for flight tests to ensure the highest safety standards.
1. Carry out outdoor flight tests in an open area with good lighting and texture-rich surfaces.
2. Do notfly in humid or foggy environments.
3. Do notfly in temperatures below -10°C or above 40"C.
4. Ultrasonic sensors and cameras are affected by the surroundings. Please operate the aircraft

cautiously when in any ofthe following situations:
1). Concerning the camera:

a. Flying over monochrome surfaces.
b. Aying over highly reflective surfaces.

c. Flying at high speeds allow altitudes (over 16m/sat 2 meters or over 8m/s at 1 meter).
d. Flying over water ortransparent surfaces.

e. Flying over moving surfaces or objects.
t Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.
g. Flying over extremely dark (<101ux) or bright (>10,000 lux) surfaces.
h. Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.
L Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). 2). Concerning the ultrasonic sensor

24 © 2015 OJf. All Rights ReservedGuidance User Manual

a. Rying over inclined surfaces (> 30°) that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft (e.g.

spherical surfaces).
b. Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpets).

c. Flying over thin railing or grid fences.

Hovering Function
Take the following procedures to do the hovering test
1. Select an open area (up to 20m viewing distance) without any GPS signal.
2. Let the aircraft take off, and gently move the aircraft in all lour directions.
3. Release the control sticks to see whether the aircraft is hovering stably (not moving all about).

& Ensure the safety of yourself and any bystanders.

Obstacle Sensing Function
The Guidance system will invoke the flight control system to stop the aircraft if there are obstacles within
detection range of the system. The aircraft will not be able to move in the direction of the obstacle,
but can still move in the other directions. Note that obstacles in the blind spots, shown by the shaded regions in the figure below, cannot not be detected.

© 2015 OJ!. AU Rights Reserved. 25Guidance User Manual**~** •The obstacle sensing function is only supported when the Guidance system is used with a DJI flight control system, and should be enabled in the DJI Guidance Assistant.

• When the aircraft altitude reaches 0.5 meters, the Aircraft Status Indicator will blink blue once

to indicate that the Obstacle Sensing Function is working normally. ,1l. • Do NOT fly in crowded areas.

• It is recommended to use the default parameters for the obstacle sensing function in the OJI

Guidance Assistant.

• Braking distance is affected bythe flight velocity, aircraft weight, propulsion system, andflight

environment

• It is recommended NOT flying over three meters and controlling the flight velocity carefully

during the aircraft'sfirst flight.

• The Obstacle Sensing Function will only work if all five Guidance Sensors are mounted in

the standard positions and face the correct directions • the VBUS port of downward facing Guidance Sensor must point to the front of the carrier, and the VBUS ports of the side Guidance Sensors must point upwards.

• The downward facing Guidance Sensor is only used for positioning, and NOT for obstacle sensing.

• DO NOIfly in narrow spaces that are less than 3 meters wide (e.g. corridors).

• The obstacle sensing function is disabled automatically when the aircraft altitude is less than

0.5 meters. Fly with caution.

• Multiple aircrafts equipped with the Guidance system should be flown at a 15-meter distance

from each otherto avoid ultrasound interference.

• If you choose to place the Guidance Sensors above the center frame of the DJI Matrice,

ensure they are positioned above the propeller rotation plane to avoid obstruction. A combination of two to three expansion bays plus a battery compartment can be mounted on the center frame to raise the Guidance Sensors to this level.

Safety and Maintenance

1. Keep out of reach of children. Cables, straps or small parts can pose serious danger if swallowed. If

you accidentally swallow a part, seek emergency help at your local hospital immediately.
2. Redo calibration after storing for periods of more than three months.
3. Do NOT allow the system to come in contact with, or become immersed in water or other liquids. If it

gets wet, wipe until dry with a soli, absorbent cloth. Turning on the system after it has fallen into water
may cause permanent component damage. Do NOT use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the system. Do NOT store the system in

26 ©2015 DJI. All Rights Reserved.Guidance User Manual

humid or dusty areas. 4. Checkthat every part of the Guidance system is working properly if it is involve.d in a violent impact. If

you have any questions or problems, please contact a DJI authorized dealer.
