Hi all,
I got a Wikipad (an Android tablet that targets gamers) to experiment with as a ground station / second TX, mostly because it has dual joysticks. There is a lot of work to be done until it has RC-controller like capabilities. First step was a workaround for the design flaw that no USB data ports are exposed when you have the tablet snapped into the joysticks. I did the mod and then made this guide:
Hope you guys find this useful! I will be working to add Wikipad support to Droidplanner and maybe Andropilot too.

Hunh. Will be fun when the cheap ones hit the market. I added physical joystick support for DroidPlanner: https://github.com/arthurbenemann/droidplanner/pull/280

Göran, yes, it works in host mode since it's android 4.1.1 . I have not had time to try it with easycap or similar yet but hopefully will get around to trying that soon!
Question: Can it work in USB host mode? Also, have you tried it with easycap for FPV?
Wow, great work, think I'll pick one of these up, they look great! Thanks for the guide.
Kudos on using droid planner!
Nice job Aaron!! That looks cool!!
@Arthur Yep, thought about it and then went for the quickest hack I could think of with the stuff I had on hand instead. There is tons of empty space inside that controller. You could pack it all full of goodies; I actually think you could fit + small hub + 3DR radio + analog video receiver + usb video encoder if you removed some of the internal plastic and used micro size connectors or hard wired everything.
That's awesome Aaron. As I told you, if you need any help to integrate with DroidPlanner just call me.
Have you thought about integrating the telemetry radio into the case?
