Log file from my Andropilot : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Rr1JTp37U9bDA1cnNhcnhkNHM/edit?usp=sharing

All takeoffs and landing are done in stabilize mode - some flying is done in Loiter mode, and RTL is tested (these mode changes are set from transmitter)

Problem: Andropilot is displaying stabilize/loiter by toggling between "manual" and "FBW-A" - not displaying the correct mode.

Moving around in map causes screen to switch to next window. Left,up,down movement was ok. Just panning right.

Device: HTC one x plus

New UI is very slick.

Your app "must" connect via BT to flightdata. I solder my 3DR to a bluetooth smirf gold (I switch only RX/TX). On the BT-Module comes 1:1 the same data. I've use this with copter-gcs (similar project).

Great work Kevin!,

Add password protected user mode only for monitoring mavlink data, which don't allow for example pid or flight mode changes. So basically we are only receiving data, no transmitting except packet requests.

Optional feature would be combined user mode, where user can select from list what changes are allowed.

This feature will help to avoid unwanted changes in flight resulting crash if ground station is used by unauthorized person or spectator.

Yes, current version of Google maps, but running a custom ROM (ReVolt JB v2.8.2). I don't know what time the cash report was sent but about 25 mins ago (now is 3:36pm UTC). I uninstalled the Play store version and downloaded one from the github downloads which doesn't have the option to send a crash report but I'll get the play store one again and send the report with my name on it.
Edit: sent new crash report at 3:45UTC

As of 64266a4

My audio volume is most often low.
the easy way to adjust volume (not ring-volume) is when AndroPilot speaks - that is not too often.

It would be nice if it could set volume, -or- if it was easy to make it speak at start.
maybe loud readout of some essential data once connected ? - that would give some time to increase the volume ..

I flew today in auto mode, . between some waypoints.
the plane, (not quad but plane) symbol seems to only be updated once arriving at the positions.

I can provide tlog from this flight if it helps.

Add firmware management for direct connected devices.

Very low importance.

Hi Kevin,

Amazing project.

Now I'm testing it and I've found some issues. First, the hardware used:

APM1 with firmware V2.68 (ARDUPLANE)
Modem RFD900
Samsung Galaxy S3 with android 4.1.1

I can connect with the airplane, show its position when getting a GPS Fix, see HUD's movements and see RF channels values. The issues I've found are:

1. The parameter list doesn't show data, only that circle running as if the system was processing data;
2. The same issue for the waypoint list;
3. The Flight Mode section doesn't change the flight mode when selected a different mode;
4. Even I selecting option "keep screen on" at settings list, the phone fade screen off;

Thats it.

Press and hold on the map starts a guided flight, please add some logic to add safety - like "if distance" to new target >200m then ask for confirmation.

subject says it all :)
you want complete logging, avoid lost parts of log due to sleep.

Kevin,
I tried across 4 APM 2.5s on different craft with 1.30. Versions from 2.6 through 2.9.1 and I am getting no data out of the 3DR Telemtry. The plane turns Blue, but does not lock into home position, I get no updates and the Vehicle Overview is black and the "looking for vehicle" has no updates. I have validated that all 4 work perfect at the proper baud rate with Mission Planner and when I back install 1.27 it works to give me data again although 1.27 was limited in what we could do. The param screen sometimes it just shows a Circle and nothing ever comes up, other times it shows partial params, with alot of the with ? marks....When I click on the plane icon I get only Alt 137m showing, so I am not receiving the other data I did in 1.27 like battery voltage etc...when I click on the plane icon. Let me know if this is just me or something that needs troubleshooting, happy to help solve this. Very eager to get 1.30 running I have some live tests I wanted to do with it and make some videos walking through it.

Hi Kevin,
This looks like fantastic work and we can't wait to start using it, but somehow I was not yet able to get any reponse yet.
I do not have an APM but another MavLink autopilot (ardrone, https://github.com/mavlink/mavlink-ivy-interface, ...) so that is probably the reason. On all platforms I'm sending the same mavlink1.0 heartbeat, attitude, sys_status, global_position_int, param_value_pack at 1Hz, either over UDP:14550 or over FTDI232 cable@57600.

When I connect that to QGroundcontrol or even APM Planner Mav 1.0 I get position and attitude shown both with the UDP and serial connection.
When I connect AndroPilot (tried 0.1.10 and 0.1.28 to 0.1.35) on an Android 4.2 Samsung Nexus, I apparently get data since the logfile is not empty (included below) but the screen shows nothing (also included below). Moreover, in UDP mode the autopilot receives heartbeats from the phone: sysid=253. When I connect the FTDI cable, I see a message: 3DR Telemetry Connected. When unplugging the FTDI, it used to freeze+autoreboot the phone but 0.1.35 does not have that anymore. (I often can not close the app with the Back key though)
Any wild guess what might be going on? Or can you point me to the code where mavlink messages are being parsed? Who is sysid253, Isn't the Gcs sysid255? Is there some infinite while loop somewhere (getting parameters/waypoints which I don't have) or something like that?

Im using Andropilot, version 1.1.00 on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet with Android 4.1.2. When APM 2.5 is connected even if directly via USB cable or via 3DR telemetry, data are received from APM to Andropilot, (and shown in vehicle overview), but HUD remains frozen. What am I doing wrong?

Please add option to display most essential instruments over the map.

It seems like Andropilot is displaying all altitudes as AMSL.
My VLOS/BLOS license will always limit me - and many others- to altitude AGL.
most missions are VLOS, - meaning the most important altitude for me, is the altitude relative to the start point.

Please add option to make barometric altitude during arming, be "0" , so everything displayed is relative to that.

• You made a great tool, very, very impressive. Thank you.

Log file from my Andropilot : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9Rr1JTp37U9bDA1cnNhcnhkNHM/edit?usp=sharing

All takeoffs and landing are done in stabilize mode - some flying is done in Loiter mode, and RTL is tested (these mode changes are set from transmitter)

Problem: selecting Auto, RTL (and possibly other) mode from droplist in upper right corner, does nothing.

Hi Kevin,
I just noticed the HEARTBEAT messages that andropilot is putting in the log from itself has type=16, which is MAV_TYPE_FLAPPING_WING. Quite funny really!
It should be type=6, which is MAV_TYPE_GCS, otherwise various mavlink log tools think they are seeing a mode change on every heartbeat packet, which breaks analysing log files.
It should also set HEARTBEAT.autopilot=8 (for MAV_AUTOPILOT_INVALID).
Cheers, Tridge

when starting the app, the aircraft is placed in the sea by africa, even when my GPS gets fix, (indicated by LED, not 100% sure of the quality of the fix) - the aircraft is still outside africe.

(see tlogs in mail from Andre)

It was very fine, if you can change the PID-settings for arducopter. There are many settings, who I want to change on airfield... ;-)

It will be a greate thing when you can implement a Follow Me system like here:

http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/having-fun-with-followme?xg_source=activity

when one can using the gps from the smartphone to let the copter follow it.

Best regards from germany!(sorry for my english)

All connected perfectly
Connected directly to the flight controller and also via 913mhz telemetry .

However is my issue once connected the data take forever to be updated to the andropilot app No maps no hub ( running the latest version

More details
Running app on a cubieboard ( http://cubieboard.org/ ) and odroid-x2( http://www.hardkernel.com/renewal_2011/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G135235611947 ) both boards have the speed to run this app however something is wrong.

You can email me at stuartsja at gmail com and I will provide more details

I think what you are doing is the way to go especially with these development board the can make great ground stations

Turning on Udp recieve causes application force close.

Steps taken:
Turn on Udp recieve and turn off Udp forward.

Very impressive app Kevin!
I've been testing it against a SITL version of ArduPlane, usnig mavproxy to forward packets over a 3DR radio so I can test the full capabilities at home. A couple of things stand out as possible improvements:
speech output for key events. I find the main thing I use my ground station for while flying is the speech output, as I like to keep my eyes on the aircraft. The key things are "mode XXX", "height XXX" (every 10 meters is good), "battery XX%" (every 10% is good), and optionally airspeed. Is there a nice android text to speech lib that could be used for this? Perhaps with a set of dialogs to enable/disable?
height above ground, not above sea-level. The best message to use for relative height is GLOBAL_POSITION_INT.relative_alt*0.001 (to get it in meters). It would be even better to use a cached version of SRTM data to get the true AGL height, by querying SRTM for the terrain height. That is how mavproxy displays correct AGL altitude (see https://github.com/tridge/MAVProxy/blob/master/modules/mavproxy_map...)
a way to pre-cache the map tiles for an area, so it will work with no network access at the field. I ended up doing my own slipmap implementation for mavproxy to get this (see https://github.com/tridge/MAVProxy/blob/master/modules/mavproxy_map...)
a button to enable/disable following the planes location on the map
a menu to load/save the waypoints to local files.
a menu to load/save/display the geofence
There also seems to be a bug that causes the aircraft position to lag the true position by quite a long way. Perhaps there is a buffering problem on the mavlink connection to the radio? Are you assuming a stream rate, or just reading messages as fast as they come in?
Overall this is a great app though - I had planned on porting MAVProxy to android, but I think it may be better for me to learn a bit of Java coding and submit some patches for your app.
Thanks!
Thanks!
re: speech
Yes there is - in fact it uses the cool google speach stuff from maps so it even gets inflection right...
Good idea & easy to add
Re: height above ground
Good point
Re: precaching
Not allowed with the google maps client (the embedded version doesn't support precache yet). There is an android version of OSM - if someone wants to add it I'd happily accept a PR/help with questions. I might add it someday but probably not that soon...
Re: follow plane
Yep easy to add & a good idea
Re: save/load waypoints
Easy to add. Is there a 'standard' suffix for mavlink waypoint files (so I can have my app register with android that I handle those files - really sexy for opening email attachments or links on the web)
Likewise, is there a standard suffix for param files?
Re: Geofence
Good idea

More suggestions which the MP doesn't have yet:

announce and display a failsafe condition,

announce arming and disarming.

curretly it is doing 64 byte reads (max), we want more like 512. This should allow us to move up from the current 72 packets a sec to more like the 200 packets a sec on direct connect

Request for Andropilot to report vehicle altitude in AGL not MSL/ASL

"Manual" mode, would, if possible to apply - result in instant crash.
When detecting an arducopter, please display proper modes:
http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_ModeSwitch

black on black don't read so good.

test against an apm2.5 to see if it has the same issues

When telemetry is lost- display last coordinates/heading/altitude and time in the map.

• also display "click to copy" - so coordinates can be easily used to navigate to in maps. - or .. of course ,
  would be very useful if somebody run out of juice or crashed - yes, it's a protection for amateurish errors, but I bet people would appriciate it.
