Android AQ GCS up and running

[chschmid]

After PosHold and RTL I wanted to fly a mission and found that QGC is not ready yet.
I bought a Toshiba tablet AT200 and a BT module. I connected the BT module to my XBee Pro 900 with USB breakoutboard. A "homesoldered" USB cable mini male to micro male OTG () made the trick to receive power from the tablet. But the modules can also be powered from a laptop with a normal USB A to mini cable.
The Android AQGC 1.5.8 works flawless with AQ 6.6 R19. Missions can be saved to AQ and retrieved. If there would be an "issue" thread I (and others) could post their findings.

Can't wait to fly my first mission and try "Orbit".

Thanks for the fine software.

Best

Please do let us know. My understanding is that you still have to define lat/lot/altitude as absolute and not relative values?

Thanks Christof. I just installed 1.5.8 and was poking at it. Must be really obvious but how to I delete a specific object?
And I am assuming "Go To Take Off" is "Return To Home"?

Hi Felix,

To delete an object:
In the missionplanner main screen (with the map), press the menu button. A lot of buttons appear and one of them is 'edit'
The edit screen is simple textbased and shows missionpoint (0 waypoint, 1 waypoint and so on...)
press and hold the waypoint you want to delete. (press and hold ON the waypoint text)
In that edit screen you can edit every detail for the waypoints, including setting relative or absolute altitude

And yes on goto take off = rth
