Here is a video of user Kirill controlling a quad (which uses SmartAP autopilot) using a tablet running Droidplanner.

He is using his own Autopilot called SmartAP. 

For the telemetry link there is only a WiFly module on the quad ( he is using the wire antenna module, but I strongly recommend the SMA type). Android tablet works in Router mode and WiFly is connected to it as a client.

The app is DroidPlanner, and can be downloaded on google play. For more info you can check the following blog posts:

• [Update] DroidPlanner v0.5.0 - Now with USB support
• [Update] DroidPlanner v0.4.0 - Ground Control Station for Android devices
• [Update] DroidPlanner v0.3 - Ground Control Station for Android devices
• [Update] DroidPlanner - Ground Control Station for Android devices

And the github site.

The range is about 100m with the WiFly with wire antenna. But user Rana  seams to be having good results using a RF amplifier to extend that range.

I would like to thank's to Kirill and Rana for their support.

PS: Be careful if you are testing the app since it is in development.
