DJI E‑Port V2 Development Kit – Build and Integrate Custom Payloads with Matrice 400

The DJI E‑Port V2 Development Kit is an advanced integration accessory designed for developers, system engineers, and enterprise users looking to build and test custom payloads for the DJI Matrice 400 drone platform. With four high-performance E‑Port V2 interfaces built into the drone, this kit gives you access to the internal communication and power systems needed to connect a variety of sensors, edge computing devices, and third-party hardware directly to the aircraft.

Built for mission-critical applications and innovative aerial solutions, the E‑Port V2 Development Kit simplifies prototyping, testing, and deploying intelligent payloads on the Matrice 400, making it the ideal solution for R&D labs, enterprise developers, and OEM payload integrators.

Key Features

• Direct Access to E‑Port V2 Interfaces
  The kit provides easy connectivity to the Matrice 400’s onboard E‑Port V2 channels, enabling developers to tap into 120W power output, signal pins, and control data. It supports quick setup and modular integration without the need to disassemble or modify the aircraft.

• Support for AI and Edge Processing Payloads
  Connect and power AI modules, such as NVIDIA Jetson boards or custom processors, for onboard image recognition, real-time analytics, or machine learning applications. This enables autonomous capabilities and real-time decision-making during flight.

• Defined Pin Mapping for Easy Wiring
  The kit includes clearly labeled pinouts for voltage, ground, UART, and CAN signals, simplifying the process of connecting different devices for telemetry, control, or data exchange.

• Seamless Hardware Integration
  The E‑Port V2 interface is designed for tight mechanical and electronic integration. The kit provides a durable, vibration-resistant connection, allowing your devices to function reliably in flight across diverse environments.

• SDK and Payload Development Support
  Optimized for use with DJI’s Payload SDK (PSDK) and Onboard SDK (OSDK), this development kit allows developers to create deeply integrated hardware and software payloads that communicate directly with the drone’s systems, enhancing automation and mission flexibility.

• Industrial-Grade Build
  Manufactured to match the durability of the Matrice 400 platform, the cable and interface components are robust enough to withstand demanding use in construction, mining, search and rescue, and other field environments.

Ideal Use Cases

• Research & Development
  Quickly test new payload designs and onboard processing modules without modifying the drone. Ideal for prototyping new aerial solutions in labs or innovation centers.

• Custom Sensor Integration
  Develop and install third-party sensors including LiDAR, gas detectors, multispectral cameras, or radiation sensors for use in environmental monitoring, public safety, or inspection applications.

• Autonomous Mission Systems
  Implement logic-based controls or real-time automation directly from onboard processors for edge-computing operations where latency and connectivity are concerns.

• Drone-as-a-Platform Customization
  Enable drone-based IoT systems, cloud relays, or wireless transmitters for real-time data transfer in oil & gas, utility inspection, or infrastructure surveying.
