Autopilot for Phantom Beta Test

Hangar · Apr 17, 2015

Hey everyone-

We have been hard at work on the next version of Autopilot for Phantom (1.2) and we are ready to start the beta test. Send an email to [email protected] if you would like to participate - we would love your feedback!

Features that will make it into this version:

Data logging (settings, telemetry, controls, commands)
Point-of-Interest for several modes, including Focus, Hover, Follow, Orbit and Mimic
Updated status screen to show telemetry while looking at the camera and map
Constant altitude reference - useful if your device has no barometer and you know that you will not be changing altitude

Features that may make it in this version:

100% power ouput
Dynamic home point
Waypoint mode

Thanks,
Jim

I'm a little sad then that it's in the Vision section, and you're teasing us

Indeed, sorry about that. I was positive I had clicked the P2V+ link, but apparently I didn't. I created a new thread here: http://www.phantompilots.com/threads/autopilot-for-phantom-beta.38959/

We are getting close to launching the beta, and I want to correct my previous comment: it looks like DJI has added support for the P2 Vision (not plus) to the SDK, so we are going to support that one as well.

That's brilliant news

looking forward too the launch for the P2V

Quick update: We decided to add support for the Inspire and Phantom 3, which is making this build take a bit longer to prepare. The changes are significant enough that we are going to call this version 2.0!
