Hello. Can anyone tell me if there are any App's available to control Pixhawk based uav such as Iris+ to fly mapping missions? I see Pix4d offer such an app for Solo. But has anyone succeeded with getting hardware and software working with Pixhawk?

Eddie W replied to Eddie W's discussion DroneDeploy Co-Pilot.....can this still be used with Iris+?

Eddie W replied to RG's discussion What makes dronedeploy so fast? in Agricultural UAVs
"Over here in the UK, DroneDeploy's Copilot is not available, so it is not possible to use their service with 3dr flight controllers. I would have to invest in a DJI Inspire 1 to use it!
Are there any alternatives out there for "real time" stitching…"
