UAS Toolbox

Automatic, offline-resilient DJI flight-log transfer

UAS Toolbox Connect detects a supported DJI controller over USB, reads new FlightRecord files locally and transfers deduplicated flights to the account when a network connection is available.

View UAS Toolbox Connect

Connect monitors for a supported DJI controller, identifies new FlightRecord files without modifying the device and avoids importing the same flight twice. Device discovery and file reading happen locally. Cloud account synchronization requires internet access; files remain on the controller or selected folder while offline and can be transferred when connectivity returns.

What the feature does

Automatic controller detection

The desktop companion checks for a supported DJI MTP device and can start a sync when the controller is connected.

Local parsing before upload

FlightRecord files are read and parsed on the computer. Flight time, route, aircraft and available battery data are prepared before account sync.

Duplicate protection

Local history, file metadata, a content hash and existing server records are checked so reconnecting a controller does not create duplicate flights.

Offline-resilient workflow

No log is removed from the source. If the computer is offline, source files remain available and cloud transfer can run after connectivity returns.

How it is used

  1. Connect the controller

    Attach a supported DJI controller, currently including DJI RC 2, over USB-C or select a FlightRecord folder.

  2. Detect and parse new logs

    Connect filters known files, reads new records and extracts available flight and equipment data locally.

  3. Sync when online

    Verified flights are added to the signed-in UAS Toolbox account. Existing files are skipped automatically.

Limitations and sources

  • Cloud synchronization needs an internet connection even though device discovery and file access are local.
  • Automatic USB detection depends on supported DJI MTP devices; folder and manual import remain available for other workflows.
  • Some encrypted DJI log versions require compatible decryption data before all telemetry can be extracted.

Frequently asked questions

Does flight-log transfer work without internet?

The controller can be detected and files remain safely available locally while offline, but writing flights to the UAS Toolbox cloud account requires an internet connection.

How are duplicate flight logs prevented?

Connect compares local import history, file metadata, a SHA-256 content hash and records already stored in the account.

Does UAS Toolbox modify or delete files on the DJI controller?

No. Controller access is read-only. Source FlightRecord files are not deleted or changed by the sync workflow.
