DJI Agras T50/T40/T25

Connect the DJI Agras T50, T40, or T25 agricultural drone to RTKdata.com for centimeter-level RTK positioning. Accurate positioning is critical for precision spraying, spreading, and field boundary mapping.

Requirements

  • Aircraft: DJI Agras T50, T40, or T25

  • Controller: DJI Agras Smart Controller (included with the Agras series)

  • Software: DJI Agras app — updated to the latest version

  • Firmware: Aircraft and controller firmware both updated to the latest version

  • Internet: 4G dongle inserted into the controller's USB port with an active SIM card, or a phone Wi-Fi hotspot

  • RTKdata account: Active subscription with NTRIP credentials

Step-by-step setup

1

Power on the Agras aircraft and the Smart Controller. Wait for them to link.

2

Verify internet connectivity

If using a 4G dongle, check the signal indicator. If using a phone hotspot, connect via the controller's Wi-Fi settings.

3

Open the DJI Agras app

Launch the DJI Agras app on the controller and enter the main flight/operation view.

4

Open RTK settings

  • Tap the RTK icon or navigate to Settings > RTK

  • Toggle RTK to ON

5

6

Select Custom Network RTK

Under RTK source / RTK service type, select Custom Network RTK.

Enter NTRIP connection settings

Select your region and enter the corresponding server details:

  • Host (domain): rtk.rtkdata.com

  • Host (IP fallback): 13.56.117.10

  • Port: 2101

  • Username / Password: From RTK Credentials in the internal dashboard (not website login)

  • Mountpoint (ALL CAPS): AUTO (recommended) — or AUTO_WGS84, AUTO_ITRF2020, AUTO_ITRF2014

Connect and verify

  • Tap Connect or Save to apply

  • Move to an open field area with the drone — the aircraft needs a satellite fix before corrections can be applied

  • Monitor the RTK status indicator:

Status
Color
Meaning

SINGLE / Connecting

Red

Basic GPS fix. Not yet receiving corrections.

FLOAT

Yellow

Correction data arriving and being processed. Typically lasts 30–60 seconds.

FIX

Green

Full centimeter-level accuracy is active. Ready for precision operations.

Vertical reference (heights)

circle-info

RTK corrections deliver ellipsoidal heights (height above the WGS 84 ellipsoid), not orthometric heights (height above mean sea level). If your farm management software uses a specific coordinate reference, you may want to use AUTO_WGS84 or AUTO_ITRF2020 as the mountpoint instead of AUTO.

Troubleshooting

Problem
Cause
Fix

Drone connects to D-RTK 2 instead of Network RTK

"D-RTK 2 Search" toggle is ON

Go to RTK settings and turn the D-RTK 2 Search toggle OFF. Confirm Custom Network RTK is selected.

"Authentication Failed"

Wrong credentials

Double-check username and password from RTKdata dashboard. They are case-sensitive.

"Connection Refused"

Wrong host for your region

Verify the host address matches your region (NA, EU, or AUS).

RTK stays on FLOAT

Obstructed sky

Move to a more open part of the field, away from tree lines and power lines.

RTK stays on FLOAT

Weak cellular signal

Ensure the 4G dongle has adequate signal. Rural areas often have poor coverage.

No internet in the field

Poor cellular coverage

Use a higher-gain 4G antenna, or position yourself where signal strength is strongest.

RTK drops during spraying runs

Cellular signal loss

The drone falls back to standard GPS and resumes RTK when connectivity returns. Check your SIM data plan for throttling.

Tips

  • Always disable "D-RTK 2 Search" first. This is the number one issue Agras users face. Check this toggle every time you configure RTK.

  • Field mapping accuracy: Run a boundary mapping flight with RTK FIX before planning your spray route. This ensures centimeter-level field boundaries.

  • Multiple battery operations: RTK will re-converge after each battery swap. Allow 30–60 seconds for FIX before resuming the mission.

  • Firmware updates: DJI frequently updates the Agras firmware for RTK stability improvements. Check for updates before each season.

  • T50 vs T40 vs T25: The RTK setup process is identical across all three models. The only differences are payload capacity, spray width, and flight performance — not RTK configuration.

  • Offline fallback: If you lose cellular coverage entirely during a mission, the Agras will continue operating on standard GPS. Plan critical spray lines for areas with the best cellular reception.
