About 1-2 weeks ago, I tried to use the system to actually connect to my quad for the first time.
I have an SGS2, with an OTG cable and 3DR Radio, and an Asus TF700 pad that I wanted to use and don't have an OTG for.
I managed to get the phone to connect to the APM no problem. There appears to be horrible latency in the HUD, but I guess that's normal for 4.1?
However, I couldn't figure out how to do the UDP uplink/downlink thing. I had my phone as a wireless hotspot, and the TF700 was getting internet data through it. But I couldn't get any mavlink data in it, the Andropilot app was dead. I played with the IP addresses, but I'm not super clear about this part. Port? No idea, but they both had the same number. Which is uplink, which is downlink? Tried both ways, no luck.
I read the wiki but couldn't find anything, so unless it's been added recently... how do you do this?

So, any news on this front yet? Wanting to get Andropilot going on my tablet that I don't have a OTG for.
So are there yet any instructions on how to make the UDP connection? I haven't tried again since writing this. If this "just works" on new Andropilot releases, great. But I haven't seen any info.
Haven't tried just that kind of udp forwarding. I managed to get PC Mission planner connection to Andropilot.
I opened PC Firewall IP and port to outside world. and configured andropilot to get connection to same IP/port.
I have separate wlan network at home.
It's possible you need port forwarder like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.bherbst.net&hl=fi in your tab.
It's also good to check tab's IP by http://whatismyipaddress.com/
