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: 

If you have multiple batteries: 

This firmware update may include* updates for the Intelligent Flight Battery. Insert each one into the drone to check if any updates are needed.  
Check your aircraft & controller: 

Ensure that both your aircraft (version 01.03.1005) and remote controller (version 04.01.1000) are updated to ensure compatibility. Incompatible versions may lead to operational issues.

*Dependent on the firmware being updated from; recent versions will not need updated, older versions, most likely, will need updated.
