"As long as you use mavlink mesages for command control it should work. Also, you can create your app as Mac objective c. The arduino helps with the uart messages with processing data. If you can get the iPhone device to act like a arduino it will…"

All soldered points are clean and perfect not sloppy. The video feed just shows a black screen and no data is showing on the…See More
