Wonderful, looking forward to it. Thanks
@WallyJas, the flight logs screen has been taken away in this release in order to be improved. It'll be restored in the next Tower release.
SOLVEDDD!!!!!! FIUUUU!!!!!!, the only thing that I didn't change, the RModem :( , just broke when I tried the new release :O ; light stay green but Tower don't connect, I change it and connect :)
I run Tower in Nexus 7, I release Tower and download beta one too, 3 dr is released too; now I'm not be able to connect, I erase beta and try again and nothing, I uninstall and re-install 3dr and tower 3.2.1 and nothing, change otg cable, erase qcontrol that I installed to see params; any help please, what else to do or check? thank's.
Guys I've been upgraded to Tower 3.2.1 but I'm now having troubles finding the telemetry logs. There is no longer a 'flight history' tab and when I search there's no tlogs. Has this feature been taken away or am I just looking in the wrong location? Cheers.
Looks awesome Fredy, well done!
