DroidPlanner 2.3.3 is out on Google Play Store. This release shouldn’t change much for the average user (just a couple of bug fixes), but it’s a huge improvement for developers.
The changes include (here is the full change log):
Support for Hybrid mode.
Logs upload to DroneShare (opt in)
Miscellaneous improvements on mission planning code.
A couple of bugfixes, for example making mode changes work with Hexacopters (and all other copter configurations)
Decoupling of drone-specific code from Android UI code
The last item means that all the code relating to the drone and mission state is in a separate library, and can be reused in other GCS applications (it could even be used as the base for a PC/MAC application).
About the first image:
The flight was planned with the new version of DroidPlanner and executed with an Iris. Some pre-planning was also needed to find out the correct path to take, and places to add delay waypoints.
The entire flight was made just using DP2, but with a safety pilot ready to take action. Here is the result:

Hi .. is it possible to choose what to display in the left hand fight data screen , like Hdop , magfield battey volts , amps etc ..instead of air speed and climb rate etc .. cheers
Excellent Arthur !
@Ricardo: The GPS clock is useful, but doesn't belong in the context of DroidPlanner. I have encountered the same problem and use a GPS time app I got from the play store.
@arthur: when do you think that feature will be added? I use this a lot in MP.no would be great to be able to use DP to accomplish the same thing.
Great work. No really like the ease of the new format.
Arthur, not sure if the best place to ask is here, but please, add a tab with a huge GPS clock. this way, after connected, its easy to take a picture of the time on the tablet (with seconds too, please!) and see the time diference from the camera, so its easier to geotag images.
great job arthur. can u put RTL in mission.
Thank's for this great job Arthur. ¿DP1 support planes?, that a good notice too, It's need a special configuration? I'm going to try :)
@Edgar Scott: That's exactly what I'm working on rigth now, don't forget to join our beta testers group to get it first.
@Joseph : Currently we are not adding the CAM_TRIG_DIST values in the mission, so either you should manually tweak this parameter or use an intervalometer in your copter.
I have been having issues setting up Surveys on DP2. I set up the flight plan but it never takes pictures. This was in DP1 and DP2. I can only get it to create a trigger using MP. Any thoughts?
