Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
IMHO, the surge of developments in drones is a new exciting golden age era of aviation. Platform interests include: fixwing, single and multi-rotors helicopters, equipped with autopilot systems. UAV development interests include: prop-fix wing hybrids, full uav systems capacity/platform scalable, truly open cross (unix/linux) portable, enhanced (secured/redundant) communication mainly WIFI/TCP/IP, open (portable to OS pervasive variants like windows, ios, android and linux) GCS to include vitual tranmitter.

Greetings.I've found very useful using the virtual RC sticks (joysticks) that I'm wondering if it'll be a good value add and easy to port AndroPilot to a tablet running Windows 7 (got one ;).(Another option of course, is to add these joysticks…
"Fantastic.. Remember been requesting this from you first time you came up with Andropilot... Took a bit of while, eh. Next in line would be the 3 x 3-way toggle switches, 3 x 2-way toggle switches, 2 sliders and Andropilot will be perfect! To…"
"Hi Tom.
Thank very much for taking the time to clarify and pointing me Pete's wiki.
Very impressive and promising developments.
All the best.

"Hi.
That sounds great.
I have both UDB4s (on my Gliders, FPV, etc.) and APM2.5s (quad, FPV plane).
Please confirm or clarify if UDB4 (MatrixPilot) already works with DroidPlanner with full flight plan functionality, that includes "real-time"…"

"Greetings all.
Just sharing my "backyard" test flights with varying results spanning 4 flights using UBLOX NEO 6M (1st 3 flights) and UBLOX LEA 6H (last flight). Must say that my flights with UBLOX LEA 6H have been consistently stable and…"

"Will do and get back soon with results. Cheers. Daniel"
"@Marco
Not to preempt any ongoing testing and this could just be isolated to my quad, but just tested latest compile (2013-04-30-09:04/30-Apr-2013 09:26) a few min ago and highlights:
T05d-w-QC03 10 min. flight, configuration: 2.085 Kg UAW 750mm…"

"Thanks very much for your help and inputs, Marco.
After having gone through more than a doz. fine tuning flights (lost count since yesterday), starting with your suggested setup initially, finally hit the sweet spot settings! Changes included: …"

"@Marco:
Many thanks. Perfect timing.
Yes, they're manual (auto learn and dec off).
Will fly these parms in a few min. and report back.
All the best.

"@Dimitri, to my newbee understanding (Marco, pls. correct me if I'm wrong.) inertial control or IMU sensors are likely constantly active, and also works with GPS and other sensors. The mixes between the sensors are adjustable by parameters…"
"Pleasure Marco..
And if the modest efforts help, I'll continue on posting simple tests (I'll leave the more complex ones to skillfull/fearless leaders like you) as dev churns out releases.
Geees! do releases move at warpspeed beyond human genius:…"

"Thanks Rana.
@ Marco.
Manage to do some test (made with MT3329 and EM-406) this afternoon, on the latest firmware with very satisfying results.
Herewith is the summary (logs and on board GP video available). Hope these help :

Yipy!!!
Hey Thomas, your the man! Thanks very much.

"Appreciate your help, Rana.
I just installed teamviewer, and hope to touch base with you soon on compile.. just let me know when you're available.
