As some of you may know, I have been working on a GCS for iOS devices called iMavlink.

It is currently in its final stages before release, but I would really like to have some beta testers to squish the final bugs.

If you are interested, I am currently selling the BLE Device that accompanies the app for $60 on my store.

This device is required for the app to work, you can create your own, however I cannot guarantee that it is supported. (If you do DIY, let me know if it doesn't work on the http://imavlink.com forum and I'll do what I can to implement support for it.

The app will be selling for $5.99 USD, however it will be free for the first 4 purchases of the BLE Repeater for beta testing purposes!

Thanks guys, please let me know if you have any questions! I have a website for the app at http://imavlink.com

Features:

  • GPS Location of drone
  • Set, edit and delete waypoints
  • Arm/Disarm
  • Display VFR information such as yaw, pitch and roll.
  • Voice alerts for mode changes and other important information
  • Edit Parameters
  • Log flights for future reference
  • GPS Status of drone
  • Distance from home/device
  • Battery voltage display and warnings
  • Calibration of battery monitor and accelerometer
  • Light and Dark themes
  • Manage multiple BLE Repeaters
  • And many more

Cheers!

    Hi guys, just an update that I have now got a version that supports UDP connections. I need some beta testers to see how well it works. Please email me at tom@imavlink.com for beta access.

    Thanks!!

    Hi Euan,

    The app only supports Bluetooth 4.0 Low energy, as the crossfire uses an older Bluetooth system it won't be supported.

    Thanks, Tom

    Native connectivity via bluetooth as well, for us crossfire users. I assume that since this is bluetooth anyway, a native connection direct to Crossfire is supported?

    Thanks Tom. As the others have suggested, having UDP connectivity would be a huge bonus! This is the way things are going. My systems use a UDP connection from GCS to UAV.

    Correct Steve, It is not capable of UDP connections at the moment, however if you connect a radio telemetry module to the solo, it should be able to connect then.

    Thanks

    Hi Tom best of Luck with Imavlink!

    So as you know now, this isn't ready for 3DR Solo?

  • Tom July 27, 2016 at 6:49am
    Hi Stephan, I have not yet looked into that, however it should be possible, I may give it a go one the current app is worked out. Thanks for the suggestion!
  • Stephan July 27, 2016 at 6:30am

    very nice!

    Will it work also with 3DR Solo by connecting via UDP into the Slo Wifi network (analog to what Tower does on Android, or MP on Windows?

    Thanks Glenn, please email me at tom@imavlink.com

    Cheers!

    Looks good Tom. I'm keen to test, how do I go about getting the app? I already have a ble bridge that should be suitable
