If you have a laptop, you can connect to the Phantom remote control. Now I can practice flying drones and helicopters with my Mac. With foohid I can simulate a gamepad in Python and that's all I need to use it in a flight simulator like Heli-X, which has a Phantom copter as a model in the free version. Turns out there is an open port 2345, which sends the stick positions and I can read it with a simple Python script.

So I tried to do something with the WiFi network.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any documentation how to use it, and so far no answer from the DJI dev forum.

But there is still an USB port and if I connect it to my Windows PC, it gets enumerated as a serial port. I have the Phantom 3 Standard, with the remote control Gе…ѓ58wA, which connects over WiFi to the smartphone (the remote control creates a WiFi hotspot to which the smartphone connects) instead of using an USB connection like with other DJI models. This was the reason I tried to use the remote control for my PC or Mac to use more professional simulators. What do you do if it is raining outside and you can't fly your new copter? Of course you are using the a simulator But the simulator which is integrated in the DJI Go smartphone app requires that you turn on the copter and it's not that great on the small screen.
