An this image below speaks for itself. Click on it.

Could you tell what your android device is?

Nexus 7 (2013 version).

For upcoming android release, we will optimize the UI to have better support for different screen sizes Thanks for your advice.

Ocatcr thanks for that
I might give the app another purchase/test...

I have a Samsung S5 and see the same as Frank does...

BTW... how do you reset the compass in the app ?

Hi, also the export flight log feature does exist in version two point eleven v2.11 .

Steps to export flight log:

1. Press the flight log button to access the flight records.

2. Select the flight log you want to export in the flight log list view.

3. Press the export button to export.

4. File of format YYYYMMDDhhmmss-logID.csv appears in the file directory "VisionPilot".

Is the flight logger working on this app yet, if so has a profile logger been created for Dashware?

Yes current android release has the flight log export, attached is a sample Dashware profile.

The attached file needs to be a .xml for dashware.

Here is the steps to import Vision Pilot log file to Dashware:

1. Download the Dashware profile file at download/file.php?id=15623
2. Using winrar http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm to uncompress the rar file to "Vision Pilot.xml"
3. Copy the "Vision Pilot.xml" to Dashware Data Profile Directory C:\Users\Documents\DashWare\DataProfiles
4. Rename your exported csv file of format YYYYMMDDhhmmss-logID.csv to file of format YYYYMMDDhhmmss.csv (eg. 20150308160615-92138778327.csv to 20150308160615.csv)
5.Launch Dashware and press Ctrl+N to new a project

6.Add data file to new project

7. Select your data file and "Vision Pilot" as data profile

8. Click on Synchronization to sync the map with new imported flight data

Many customers asked us what the difference between the Aircraft navigation mode, Pilot navigation mode: Here is the video explains it:

Hi Taco,

I just wanted to say thank you for supplying me with the apk to test. Very impressed with the product and purchases it 2x days later. Have you had any success in getting follow me working?

I noticed another app that claims to have it working, however I haven't had a chance to test it yet.

If you do swing the $9.38 to buy the app you are referring to, make sure you proceed with caution while flying. That app is not being messaged like the app that come from the developers who are part of the community here. The DUF app is days away from having the followme feature live. It would have been in the mix already had I not interrupted him to work on the Flight Logger which arguably is more important should there be a issue of some kind. Btw, No Fee involved with DUF app either.

sorry that follow me does not exist in current release. since DJI SDK does not have this function, we need to develop our own module from scratch. We prefer to finish some features suggested by our customers (eg. GPS and battery failure monitor...) before getting into the Ground station development.

we are not going to comment other app. we think the full implementation of follow me is as: http://3drobotics.com/follow-me-info/ eg. Angles

Follow Me features six angles to compose your shot. Select the name of the angle on the screen to choose from the drop-down menu.

DP angles

Leash
The drone follows behind the actor at a specified distance.

Lead
The drone flies in front of the actor, facing towards them and maintaining a specified distance.

Left/Right
The drone keeps pace with the actor on either their left or right side, faces towards them, and maintains a specified distance.

Orbit
The drone flies a circle pattern around the actor at a specified radius, facing in.

Above
The drone flies directly above the actor with the camera pointing down.

Actually this feature is requested by one of our customers. It should be available in the coming iOS and android release.

Currently it is not GS activated but will be once our GS module development is done. Though it is not GS enabled, a simple flight plan is important for everyone who need to control their drone manually especially in an environment has many obstacles need to be avoided. Having a pre-planned flight route drawn on the map, it is easy and safe to complete your mission by simply following the route to pilot your drone.

Demo for Flight Route Editor (navigation mode will be available in android version 2.12)

Today I used the default app, flew great, 13 sats, home lock etc, mild wind, cloudy conditions. So second battery I switched to this app. I wanted to record over 40 mph.

Went up about 300 feet looked around changed settings on the FPV because they are very low grade, decided I didn't like the view from my Samsung so brought it back in. As I dropped from 300 to 200 it started to take off south. I quit descending and got her back over the home point and dropped again and again it started acting up, this time it went north and didn't respond to my stick commands. Finally it caught and I was able to bring it back over the home point. Dropped down to 80 feet to bring it in and it was acting pretty weird. Landed, switched back to default and flew fine. Something is buggy with this app.

It is a good chance to use our flight log system to analyze what was happened. You could take a look at this post viewtopic.php?f=27&t=34750&start=140#p336914 that shows you how to export the logs to a csv file. Please post the log here so we could help.

Our app only monitors the DJI SDK output data, there is no control on the flight controller operation.

For android v2.12, we just upgraded the SDK to Level 2. It means we are authorized to implement Ground station related function. There will be some new features planned to be implemented in our GS module.

 

[flyNfrank]

Taco, what makes this app better then all other available apps similar to to what you have?

I'm also curious why you didn't set your logger up to coexist with most all the current gauges in dashware? Are you planning to create numerous gauges to work with your loggers profile?

 

[ocatcr]

Thanks for your feedback. We prefer working on the ground station related features first. Do you know how to get the old gauge?
(eg. the attachment )

 

[ocatcr]

Some customers reported that after they upgraded their iphones to iOS 8.2, the FPV view did not scaled up/down properly. The problem should be fixed in next release.

I use this app a while an I was really satisfied see my video
