Be In The Know: New T40 Firmware Update
May 9, 2024
The DJI AGRAS T40 drone has received several important firmware updates that enhance performance, safety, and usability.
Here is a quick overview of the new and improved features and how to take advantage of these updates on your T40.
PERFORMANCE UPDATES
NEW! “Hills” Scene in Field Route Operation Mode
A new “Hills” scene has been added to the field route operation mode to improve ground imitation accuracy for tall crops. The T40 will adjust its flight pattern when flying over hilly terrain.
IMPROVED! Adjustable Route Spacing
The adjustable range for route spacing has been expanded to accommodate different flight path requirements. Whether you’re covering large fields or small plots, the T40 allows you to customize the spacing.
SAFETY UPDATES
IMPROVED! Enhanced Propeller Motor Safety
To improve safety during takeoff and landing, the propeller motors will automatically stop spinning if they remain idle for more than 10 seconds. This will prevent accidental contact with the spinning blades.
USABILITY UPDATES
FIXED! Abnormal Flight Altitude in Fruit Tree Operation Mode
In certain situations, the T40 had abnormal flight altitude when returning to the task resume point during Fruit Tree operation mode. This issue has been fixed, giving you more accurate altitude control.
NEW! Spinner Disc Disable Option
The update introduces a new feature that allows you to turn off the spinner disc while maintaining other spraying functions.
NEW! Cancel Auto-Landing Feature
In emergencies or when adjusting landing plans, you can now cancel auto-landing by moving the control sticks. This gives you more control over the landing process.
IMPROVED! Amount Spread Display
The accuracy of the “Amount Spread” information displayed on the Task Summary screen has been optimized.
NEXT STEPS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE UPDATES:
