"You are missing "Google Play Service". This is needed for the Map. Check if you can DL it somewhere. Else have a look at gapps, maybe there you can DL the whole google apps package. Should include Google Play Service."
"Good news, i found the kernel modules needed for my 10" tablet, now it recognizes the APM and creates a serial port node in /dev. I can get output as well :)
So if you dont get a connection or no output try to look up the kernel modules or if the…"
"Ok i found a new problem. When i connect the APM to my cheap 7" tablet it recognizes the APM an creates the ttyACM0 node that i can read from. But when i use my 10" tablet it recognizes the APM, but does not create a node:
"I made an app with android API 7 which is 2.0 i think and the maps API worked pretty well. Unfortunately bluetooth functions are pretty restricted there. Guess you are right, most cheap china tablets supprt android 4 anyways. Poor guys with older…"
"Too bad USB only works on API 12 / Android 3.1 and higher. Maybe there should be a BT version with Android 2.X support and the USB version with Android 4.x support."
"Ok just had a look at this from adb shell. Looks like android recognizes the APM as serial device. I get output like this:

"Every china tablet with USB should work. I think the description has to say USB OTG to have USB support like mouse and keyboard. If this works the APM should get power too.
But does it work with USB? You need drivers and i dont know if you can…"
"You can only fly as far as your video still works. In the distance antennas have a pretty big corridor where you can fly without adjusting them directly to the plane. So even if only one of the 25 video frames per second has valid data it should be…"
"Looks like your servo code is not quite right. The servos move much smoother with the rc control than with your phone. Looks like there is a timing issue, had that with my DIY headtracker too. Do you use ~50hz as frequency for PWM calculations? I…"
"Hi,
i'm currently working on a project that includes telemetry over video. But we just started so there won't be anything in the next few weeks i can show you. You need to be patient a bit more, but there will be something till the end of summer i…"
Hi, when i plug in IMU to Mega the system seems to work, but when i go into testmode and read the data i dont get any results. Looks like the Mega isnt getting any data from IMU (Gyro and Accel), barometric sensor works. When i press against the…
"Yeah well its a dirty workaround since i have to change all calls on Serial1 and Serial3...will have a look at all of the code later...but i'm happy that there is a way ;)"
