My short video of IRIS autonomous flight using Droidplanner2

Hi all,

I thought i'd share a brief video of IRIS working quite well with Droidplanner2 and a Nexus7 tablet using a simple waypoint setup.

Before this recorded flight, I took a much longer autonomous journey with IRIS at 75m(altitude) flying approximately 500m away from "home" and back safely and flawlessly. What a fun experience. Below is the link to my brief and poorly recorded video.

Hope some of you enjoy it a bit.I also hope to post a small and simple tutorial while answering a few questions about using DroidPlanner2 and IRIS together this weekend if people are interested. I'm still a newb compared to many, but I've been fortunate enough to get DroidPlanner2 and the IRIS working fairly well together.Thanks,Charles

Made a very successful survey flight with an auto land at the end last week. Everything went really well.

Kit was Iris, Droidplanner 2, Nexus 7 2012, 433 radio.

I know several people are struggling to get DP to work, and others are wondering if DP is worth buying a new tablet for. We're interested!

  I haven't used the way-points and autonomous flight yet, but DroidPlanner2 works great for monitoring your Iris mid flight and saving your tlogs. One flight got away from me in altitude hold mode, so I initiated Return to Home from the DP2 and it flew right back to where it took off from.
