Here is my APM2.5 at my apartment in Albuquerque NM. See the 3 waypoints and home position?

My android tablet is a Pipo S2 at $122 from Banggood.com What a deal! There are some things you have to do to get it to work on the S2 (new firmware) but it is east.

Thats a Pipo S2 like I am using....Works great. Put the Pipo S2 Ultimate 3G firmware on it to get the usb host mode to work correctly.
Took me a while to find this trick.

Earl, it does not have inbuilt 3G, requires 3G dongle, not that good, b'cuse while you are in flying field, this tab to act as GCS, you require high speed internet 3G to live track fast moving autopiloted plane in GE.
And you know, hooking up 3G dongle and 3DR radio at the same time would be quite cumbersome.
if it run 2.5 android or even better 4.1.1 your good. you may be able to update it also.
Earl
yes it does. my concern is that my tablet is a generic brand but runs android on it. Let me find it and look up some information about it.
maybe...does it have a usb host port to plug the 3dr radio into?

Hey Earl I have an old Android tablet laying around. If I tell you what kind it is would you be able to tell me if I could use it as a groundstation/controller?
