New AndroPilot Android GCS release 1.2.07

A quick release to fix a couple of requests I forgot to include in 1.2.05:

# 1.2.07
* Scale down the gamepad inputs so they have more useful dynamic range
* Fix gamepad elevator direction
* Add support for multipane view on Note2 sized devices
* Disallow landscape view on phone sized devices (our info pane gets too small to be useful)
* Don't ever use param read by index, because it is not supported on older AC builds

# 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

    ok - note fix will be in .14.  If anyone wants a fix for screen rotation on that odd shaped (but really nice) device you should use .12 until I make the next release (in a few days)

    Hi Earl, wrt your problem reading params via bluetooth: did you see my content on checking the wiring of your bluetooth to radio connection?  It sure sounds like the bluetooth to radio TX direction is either not connected or being driven by something else (i.e. did you disconnect the default USB connection on the device).

  • Hi Kevin.

    Thanks very much for taking the time and effort in providing for the multipane view support on Note 2.

    I tried getting this to work a few min. ago and just a quick one: how do I set this up.

    ..tried to check settings, sweeping and all sorts of multitouch stroke to no avail, to get the 2nd pane working. I suppose, the 2nd pane with the blue bar should appear at the bottom however, this remains on top with only one pane showing.

    All the best.

    Daniel

  • Just tested  1.2.07 & 1.2.08, for me no change;

    Settings as follows;

    1. UDP mode selection >>  selected "TCP to another host"

    2. Inbound Port number >> 2000 ( Eeven tried port 5760 but no change)

    3. Outbound host >> entered the ip of the Wi-Fly 192.168.1.3 which is wirelessly hooked on to my home Internet Wi-Fi router and this IP is assigned to Wi-Fly by the router.
