DJI rumor, Matrix 100

Bartman

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
Hard to say to what degree this is happening as the release date is very soon with little to nothing having been said about it. Few details available but naturally there's a facebook page already devoted to it.

advanced sensors, power system matched to the frame....what else can we dig up?

Features:

Expansion Bays

Additional expansion bays allow you to add components, customize the payload, and fly with any devices you want. Put cameras, sensors, computing boards, communication tools, and more into the sky, and gather data while completing complex jobs from a birds‐eye view.

Universal Power and Communication Ports

Plug in and fly with almost any device, and transmit data via the Matrix 100’s dual CAN and UART ports. There are two of each port on your platform, enabling you to mount and build a system that matches your needs.

Dual Battery Compartments

Add an additional battery compartment to achieve up to 40 minutes* of flight time. This gives greater power to both your platform and any additional devices or accessories that you wish to fly with. *Flight times vary based on payload and flight conditions, and the maximum 40 minute flight time tested when hovering with dual TB48D batteries and no additional payload.

Customizable Mounting and Balancing

Achieve perfect balance and an ideal flight experience by sliding the battery and other compartments around the body of your Matrix 100. Put your components exactly where you want them, and get the most out of your system.

Adjustable Arm Angle for Greater Torque

Flexible to match your flight needs, adjusting the arm angle of each of the 4 arms is quick and easy. Achieve increased yaw torque and greater response by tilting the arms to a 3 degree angle.

50% Less Vibrations, Rigid, Strong System

To reduce vibrations, increase stiffness, and bring unmatched reliability, your Matrix 100 is made of strong, lightweight carbon fiber. Each of the arms contains DJI’s new soft vibration absorbing material that virtually eliminates feedback from the powerful motors, keeping your critical components stable and allowing unprecedented accuracy.

Responsive, Quick Release Landing Pads

Innovative landing pads or “feet” are installed at the base of each arm to protect your Matrix 100 when landing. These pads greatly reduce impact, protecting your system and eliminating the chance of your platform unintentionally lifting off of the ground. Also easy and quick to remove for replacement or upgrades.

Dedicated Remote Controller

Take control of your platform with the customizable, long‐range remote controller included with the Matrix 100. With an operating distance of up to 1.2 miles* (2km), a rechargeable battery, fully adjustable controls, and outputs to connect to your mobile device, this is the perfect tool to command your system in the air. *Maximum range tested in open areas free of interference and may vary depending on local regulations.

Full Mobile App Support

Fly with the feature‐rich DJI Pilot app or create your own app with the DJI SDK. See a live view, control your devices, access a real‐time map, and more by simply plugging in your tablet or smartphone.

Enhanced GPS

Enhanced GPS with a foldable mount helps you to track your Matrix 100’s position in real time, while enabling faster satellite acquisition, more accurate position holding and flight planning.

Upgraded Flight Controller and Integrated Lightbridge

DJI’s new N1 flight controller keeps your Matrix 100 stable and responsive to your commands throughout every flight. Transmitting data to you and bringing a live HD view (when using DJI’s X5 Camera and gimbal), the included DJI Lightbridge increases your flight range to 1.2 miles* (2km). *Maximum range tested in open areas free of interference and may vary depending on local regulations.

Purpose‐Built Propulsion System

An upgraded version of the respected DJI E800 electric propulsion system powers your Matrix 100 and keeps it in flight. Four powerful, brushless motors and four lightning fast Electronic Speed Controllers are integrated into the platform, giving you complete control during flight. With increased strength and payload capacity, you have the flexibility to create the system you need.

Compatible Parts for Further Functionality

The Matrix 100 is compatible with a wide range of DJI accessories including:  Guidance: DJI’s revolutionary sensor kit that helps your platform see its environment and recognize when obstacles or other objects are nearby.  X3 Camera and Gimbal: Shoot stabilized 4K video and capture 12 megapixel images from the sky with DJI’s integrated camera and 3‐axis gimbal system.  Extra Battery: Extend your flight time by flying with an additional DJI Intelligent Flight Battery.  Expansion Bays: Use more expansion bays to put all of your desired devices onto your Matrix 100 and create a truly unique, customized platform.

DJI Guidance is a new array of positioning sensors that will allow real obstacle avoidance. From this leaked Photo, it appears to have 4 ultrasonic sensors and 8 cameras allowing the system to see with a 360 degree field of view.

Feature

High‐Precision Vision Positioning

Even without GPS, achieve hovering that is accurate to within centimeters. Even when flying at high speeds, high‐ precision stereo algorithms provide positioning information over nearly any terrain. Guidance’s vision positioning system is effective at altitudes of up to 65 feet (20 meters).

Obstacle Sensing in Every Direction

Guidance continuously scansthe nearby environment and detects obstaclesin real time. When used with a DJI flight controller, it can tell your flight system to automatically avoid collision, even at high speeds.

SDK Guidance is fully compatible with the DJI SDK and supports multiple interfaces for easy data export. Developers are free to create customized applications and expand the use of Guidance’s visual and ultrasonic sensors to suit any need.

Compatible Flight Platforms

Guidance is fully compatible with the DJI Matrix series flight platforms.

Data Interface Ports:


USB

Export velocity data, obstacle distance data, IMU data, ultrasonic data, grey‐scale images, and depth images.


UART

Export velocity data, obstacle distance data, IMU data, and ultrasonic data.


Supported Data Output:

Velocity Data Support for aircraft velocity information output.



Obstacle Distance Data

Obstacle distance data from all five sensors.


IMU Data

Support for IMU data output, including acceleration, attitude data, etc.

Ultrasonic Data

Support for ultrasonic data output from all five sensors.

Grey‐scale Image Support for grey‐scale image output from all five sensors.


Depth Image

Support for dense depth image output from all five sensors.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
my first thought was that I stumbled upon a leftover April Fool's prank, my second thought was that I've stumbled on a leftover April Fool's prank.

not sure which it is. but i know who to call to ask about it and his name starts with a big D. :D

Hmmm.. very interesting. I have a few good uses for just such a platform, especially since you can use the SDK on this thing. I wonder if all their new offerings are going to be using Lightbridge from here on? It seems like they are investing heavily in that direction.

N1? Any new details on that? I've finally come to terms with the fact that I need to replace one of my Wookongs (long story) and don't really want to go with an A2 for a few different reasons. Maybe this is something to look into?

I'm just now getting comfortable with the A2. I wouldn't jump on a new DJI flight controller no matter what they claimed it could do. For one thing, all of their new products seem to be immediately followed by repeated firmware upgrades with each claiming to fix whatever problems the prior caused. I like their stuff, but I really wish they would get the software right up front.

.............Maybe this is something to look into?

maybe in 2016? it ought to be all sorted out by then?

software mix-ups continuing as they are, can anyone really expect new products to be immune from DJI's chronic problems?
