Some good bug fixes and cool new features (gamepad support should be tested only carefully):
# 1.2.05
* Gamepad support ready for alpha testing. Press Y to do RTL, press L1 to toggle fence mode, use the two joysticks like a RC controller, press start to return control to RC transmitter.
* Thanks to Robert W, Earl C, Jack O, Linux P, Anthony G, Robert L, Jeremy Z and Rana for donating so I could buy a gaming tablet. Not yet purchased, but without their prodding I wouldn't have gotten around to
adding gamepad support for a while...
* For TCP connections, allow user to specify an outpound port #
* Parameter download is much faster for most devices
* Add a servos output tab that shows raw values driven to vehicle servos
* Fix problem where bluetooth connections would be torn down on screen rotation
* Fix problem where sometimes the vehicle mode would be listed wrong on application start
* Somehow I had disabled showing the keyboard for waypoint altitudes - fixed
* Default to showing the keyboard if we edit a parameter or waypoint

Hi Kevin,
Sorry for bumping an old thread, but I was wondering if it's possible to remove the need for an RC transmitter with this app. Specifically I'd like to use a gamepad + tablet or phone to control a multicopter. Anything preventing that, or any issues you could think of when doing something like that?
Are there proper failsafes in place so if the controller/tablet link dies the copter would RTL or switch to some failsafe mode?
thanks!
Looks great!
By any chance soon, will the split screen be supported in smaller tablets, e.g., in a Samsung note 2?
All the best.
Daniel
If you'd like to try the gamepad code, this was the bluetooth game controller I purchased - but any of the (large collection) of android compatible controllers should be fine. I've tried using it while talking to my plane via bluetooth and directly via the 3dr radio via USB - both seem to work well.
When I order the tablet proposed by Robert L in the "Ultimate GCS" thread I suspect it will mostly 'just work' with this code.
