Hi ya'll,

Read more…1.9.06 Andropilot: Cool new feature "Spectator mode"
Hi ya'll,
So the 1.9.06 beta adds a new menu option called 'Read only'. If you turn this option on you can then give the tablet/phone to any random stranger and they can do only 'read only' things - all the usual features work (map, hud, telemetry, v

No, the new andropilot isn't busted - it really is that much faster
Hi ya'll,
So I've received two pms asking about this - so I figured I'd answer here instead. Due to a mistake on my part for the last month or so andropilot has been falling back to the much slower open source serial library. This was not my intent
Read more…New 1.9.01 & 1.9.02 Andropilot betas - you probably want these
If you are an andropilot user you should probably upgrade, these are nicer than what you have ;-).

Andropilot 1.8.19 released to GA - thanks to all the beta testers, now on to 1.9
Everyone using this app, please manually check for updates on google play (and enable auto updates). A lot of you (a few thousand) are still using oldish versions - you'll really want to be running this release, it has a lot of goodness...

Read more…Andropilot 1.8.17 warns about solar activity (possible GPS interference)
Hi ya'll,
So based on a post by Norman Sanchez, I was led to a great resource: NOAA publishes warnings about periods of high solar activity (i.e. periods when GPS could have extra interference). Andropilot now checks for this at start and if it sees
Read more…1.8.16 is out of beta
I highly encourage all andropilot users to double check that you have 'allow auto app updating' turned on for this app - it seems like some of you are still using pretty old versions (based on the anonymous usage data...)
Read more…Anyone here willing to make an 'intro to andropilot video'?
Hi ya'll,
It has been a while since there has been a video overview of andropilot. Are any of ya'll willing to make such a piece of youtube glory? Ideally something that covers the following:
- Connecting to the vehicle
- Editing waypoints
- Editing paramete
New beta in the 1.8.03 chain - all beta testers should get this one
This is the newest release in the 1.8 beta release chain (scripting will be the 1.9 chain). It should be pretty nice - with an optimized UI for tablets or small phones (currently in landscape mode only). Anyone using beta releases should definitely

This is the first cut of the 'even simpler' UI. It may have a little more breakage than typical betas - so please be cautious - but I'd love any feedback. (please!)
It also adds support for multiple vehicles (just plug in more 3dr radios) - though th
