not currently, ive been adding joystick to rpi recently though

Michael_Oborne · January 24, 2021, 5:45am

you can upload a firmware. but you need to allow the prompts from android quickly, else you miss the bootloader window

Corrado_Steri · January 24, 2021, 12:17pm

Plans to add it in future releases?

Is there some official documentation to install on rpi?

thanks,

Corrado

Are we talking onscreen or real?

Corrado_Steri · January 24, 2021, 1:59pm

Both, i am more interested in real, so that i can start using android on my ground station instead of windows

Hi Michael, is it any chance for a new MP on Android with the fix for voice?

Michael_Oborne · January 26, 2021, 11:27pm

Should already be fixed on latest google.play version

Compass calibration doesn’t work on Android. Tested with Android 10, apm 2.8

Michael_Oborne · January 29, 2021, 9:27am

that because the apm 2.8 is not supported

darshit123 · January 29, 2021, 9:46am

Apn 2.8 is supported! I my self connected it and everything worked fantastic.is it showing error 99 during compass calibration?

Michael_Oborne · January 29, 2021, 10:26am

the last apm 2.8 firmware release was in 2015, and Mission Planner does not try to maintain 100% compatibility with it. so you will come across things that will not work.

Yeah you cannot cover all features but it covers enough for us and it is great.

Hi Michael,

MP on Android is great. I think it’s better than on Windows in some ways There is no problem with drivers (connecting RFD and Pololu antenna tracker). I have also some comments:

-android MP can’t remember settings (e.g. antenna tracker servo param, planner settings etc.) when MP is closed from android (it is saving parameters when I right click to close program),
-favourite column in full parameter list didn’t work, fav param don’t show on the top of the list,
-need joystick support I know that Android recognize joystick, but MP can’t,
-sometimes MP freezes when downloading parameters or changing pages.

@darshit123 I am the one that reported the compass calibration issue, just from another account.
It doesn’t show any error, just hangs the app, sometimes it opens the calibration window but the window is blank and the app hangs after that. I am connecting my drone using an OTG cable, maybe that’s an issue? But every other function works fine, including mission planning!

darshit123 · January 30, 2021, 4:52am

This reply is to Yaros1.is it showing white dots in that blank space.can you read how many data logs how you collected?i think you disconnected your apm when the compass calibration was not happening?dont do that.do one thing that connect your apm after opening mp.and are you using mp in android?and how many ram your phone have.i think you should clear memory cache before opening mp.do that.now compass calibration should work fine.

@darshit123 I have a Samsung A50, I don’t see any dots, just blank window, I connect my apm before starting mission planner on android. Btw calibrating the same board on Windows works fine for me.

darshit123 · February 2, 2021, 4:52am

that means you have error 99.and always connect apm after starting mp.how much is your phone ram?

Yaros1 · February 3, 2021, 9:04pm

4GB ram I think, but maybe 2, not sure

darshit123 · February 4, 2021, 4:53am

4gb ram is super enough for mp.infact i also use 4gb ram.you should connect apm after starting mp.

That’s awesome!

Does anybody know if is possible to run python scripts, as in the windows version?

Thanks
