Can you use scripts or APIs with the DJI Mini 4k?

Hi, I’m working on a project that needs me to control a drone using a script or API. I checked DJI’s site, but I couldn’t find anything about the Mini 4k supporting this. Does anyone know if it’s possible? Maybe there’s a workaround?

Nope, it’s all encrypted. You’d be better off building your own drone with Arduino—it’s cheaper too. DJI locks all their drones down.

Thanks! Looks like I’ll need to go that route. Got any suggestions for someone who’s never built one before?
