Currently Droidplanner does not collect the information we know from Mission Planner regarding the telemetry radio link, like local and remote noise and RSSI levels.
Arthur didn’t work on this yet because he doesn’t have a satisfying view on what users would like to see. Let’s help.
What would you like to see in the DP HUD screen? Please give your votes:
A radio quality link indicator exactly the same as Mission planner has in the top right HUD display: % radio packages received + icon indicator.
Any different specific indicator top right in the HUD or anywhere else. Give your preference for localnoise, remotenoise, local RSSI or remoteRSSI or any combination. Can you motivate why?
A user customizable/selectable view via the settings on location in the HUD and/or values to display
Don’t be restricted by this list, please provide specific and constructive feedback.
I pressume all data can (and will) anyway be captured in the tlog.
The problem with showing a rate of dropped packets is the value drops drastically when you go out of range, RSSI drops more linearly. Anyway we can always log the RSSI packets.
I like the new look! one feature i was going to request was to add a “Quick” tab similar to mission planner that clearly and boldly displays some important values which it appears you have done! Thank you. Could you possible add dist traveled &time in air values and make them easily resettable?
In regards to RSSI, would it be possible to have either % dropped packets and local RSSI or remoteRSSI selectable as per #3?
Yes I want to! Could you help me find the development branche if my reference is the Wiki page on how to download and compile the production code? Do we need to use another URL instead of https://github.com/arthurbenemann/droidplanner.git? Very exciting to see all this progress!
I’m willing to help but you need to bring me up to speed technically on how to compile your new beta code on a nexus tablet ?
Procedure somewhere i could read on the internet ?
I’m a noob on github and stuff so bare with my idiotic questions,

Please note that the interface has been designed mostly for the nexus 7, and currently it supports only copters (although planes may work). If you want to try it go ahead, and report any issues at github: github.com/arthurbenemann/droid … state=open
There is no need to download the zip file. Just open the APK on your Android device (it’s a compiled release, jsut like what you get from Google Play), here is the direct link for it: github.com/arthurbenemann/droid … -0_RC1.apk
i did try many times to get from github directly, not able.
if i put the apk on android, I will be able to compile and run in debug mode? right now, with previous version, I am using the android sdk win win7 and compile and can debug without any issue.
Hi Arthur, thanks for answer, I want to be able to debug in Eclipse.
I remember you did indicate to me (in diydrones) the zip file from a specific location when I said to you at that time I can not get directly from Git. That zip was OK, as compiling and debugging, I still have it om my PC.
Is any difference as structure, between that zip file and latest zip file from V2? Maybe is missing something.
Should I reinstall the google-play and Mavlink project when try V2?
I installed the v2: Awesome!!!
I love the new interface, much more intuitive and simpler (I can finally delete my waypoints!)
I will test it in flight during the next week end if the weather permits it and will report back eventual comments and remarks.
