New Firmware Released for DJI Zenmuse L1 LiDAR Sensor

This new update introduces mapping and flight calibration optimisations for the DJI Zenmuse L1 sensor - a plug-and-play LiDAR sensor for the DJI Matrice 300 RTK UAS.

L1 Firmware Update Details

• DJI L1 Firmware: v03.00.01.00

• Firmware Upgrade Method: DJI L1 - SD card / Update All in DJI Pilot App

• Other Product Firmware and Software Required: M300 RTK aircraft firmware: v03.00.01.01; M300 RTK remote controller firmware: v03.00.01.02; DJI Pilot App Android: v3.0.1.4 (M300).

Please ensure that the aircraft, remote controller, and DJI Pilot app firmware are updated to the latest versions as well. The latest firmware releases can be accessed here.

What’s New:

The key features of the L1 firmware update are:

• Added Zenmuse L1 calibration, allowing users to make a calibration file to complete L1 calibration and restore factory settings.

• Added Elevation Optimisation to Mapping Flight. The L1 only takes photos and does not record point clouds during elevation optimisation segments of flight when Elevation Optimisation is enabled.

• The default metering for photos during flight route is updated to centre-weighted average metering.

• The L1 camera will automatically focus to infinity after the focus mode is switched to MF.

• The Calibration Flight is updated to acceleration and deceleration calibration flight (except for Linear Flight Mission). The aircraft will fly forward 30 m (98 ft) and then fly backward 30 m (98 ft) at the next nearest waypoint after every 100s during Waypoint flight when the calibration flight conditions are met.

• The aircraft will also perform a calibration at intervals of less than 100 seconds during extended flights using Mapping flight.

• Fixed issue: Incorrect flight height displayed during Terrain Follow Flight.

• Fixed some minor bugs.
