Does Qgroundcontrol have terrain following available now for the survey missions, I have been following some of the requests on github but am still unsure if terrain following is added yet. Thanks for making a planning software that operates on all OS!!
My Android version updated to 3.3 the other day. I’m liking it a lot.
What would we need to do to get Android to support loading firmware? I use a 13" tablet with a full-size USB port and it will actually power a PH2.1 from the USB port.
I think that is going to be way off in the future. Serial Port support in QGC Android is a real nightmare and currently prevents this from being possible.
By the way, do you decode and display each bit from a mavlink message field with display=“bitmask” attribute ?
Are you using the unit attributes to convert from SI to imperial units ?
@DonLakeFlyer, since 3.2.X the main menu buttons are no more displayed, but still able to click on the area they normally should appear. using latest Windows 10 home insider preview.
Does this version support reverses for Ardurover with virtual joystick? I know this topic have been up before, but can’t find if this version support it or not.
I think someone has figure this out already. Can you put in a GitHub Issue and then we can track down from there. You cal also try the alternate startup links which use OpenGL in different wayts.
