I will contribute there too.
So you are stating the app is developed with a paying version of QT and not the shareware version?

15

If you follow the dev setup to compile QGC i can help you out making it work and move things around.

16

same here, can source code be accessed as per GPL license? i would like to contribute, some aspect of project are interesting

17

Looks like they don’t care about GPL, they grab what they need and don’t give back. Tipical. I guess there is only one thing we can do as users vs companies that act like that. Just don’t buy their products.

Just wrote to QT and linked the app to see if they can find out if it was developed under a commercial QT license or a shareware license.

i tried the linked version for android and it’s the very same of the official one. I didn’t see any of the mods which can be seen in the video, like the different telemetry indicators etc. Msh, did you try it?

19

No didn’t. Maybe the mods come alive if there is some of their hardware running, they may probe the network to see if something is alive to start the “special” functions. Need to take a look at source to see what is going on.

I am using the app on a HereLink controller due to the fact that the ZR10 stream only works with the Siyi app.
@SIYI I have a list of things that would be nice if they would change:

  • I cannot map the buttons of the controller because on the HereLink the system sees two joysticks and I can only calibrate one. One is the actual joysticks (named mlx_joystick) while the other consists of the buttons (named gpio-keys). I am using the HereLink Settings app to overcome this but that is not a good solution.
  • The video stream is not reliable. If I exit (to either plan or change a setting) the main QGC screen, I can expect to either get a delay of up to 15sec or to see a frozen stream. Restarting the app works.
  • Zooming more than 10x will sometimes move the gimbal to the forward (default) position
  • I get a “Error binding UDP port” at each powerup though there is no automatic connection displayed of the QGC Comm Links page. E suppose that you hardcoded one. For users like me, that only uses a Siyi camera, that does not need to be there and is annoying because it has to be closed each time. You could maybe set one in the .apk instead of hardcoding one.
  • Since QGC already has a record button on the right of the screen I do not think that any of the 3 icons bellow the “reset camera to default position” are necessary. If you want to keep them then at least disable the QGC ones.
  • I think the “reset camera to default position” button should also reset the zoom. Maybe a personal preference.
  • I really like how one can touch the screen and move the gimbal, but for me the X and Y commands are reversed.

I guess the community would solve a bunch of these issues if you would share the source.

Thanks very much, Camil
Forwarding to the team right now and will come back with feedback asap

@SIYI Hi! Very nice app and thank you for all your efforts. I see two issue right now.

  • For some reason QGC build in recording doesn’t work. I mean widget on the right side, which do recording of RTSP stream
  • This one is weird. In SIYI, download rate for A8 is between 200-300. But in QGC it’s between 300-500 kbs. And sometimes I’m getting micro freezes on 500.

Tested on MK15

Thanks for your post.

@SIYI - Thanks for working on such great products - I currently have the HM30 (now working well with QGC via Ethernet), a ZR10 and A8 Mini with a ZR30 on the way… I was wondering if there were any plans to make a Siyi Modified QGC for Linux instead of just Android?

25

Thanks for using SIYI products.

Sorry, no Linux version is planned but there will a Windows version coming.

26

QGC is known to be Linux compatible, as should your modified version. I am glad I saw this as it may prevent me from purchasing SIYI products since I only use Linux for ground station control.

hi Frank! Pls release source code so we can integrate it! Also pls release LuCI admin password of HM30 so we can integrate and customize configuration, thanks a lot!

30

Please follow this thread for code release in the future. There is no confirmed schedule at this moment.
There is no password to share for the HM30 system.

31

Hopefully the code will be released soon.
I hope that siyi’s radio system will be further expanded by contributing to qgc github.

Hi Frank!

Can you tell me if you can control the camera through the PC app with the keyboard arrows instead of the mouse?

33

Good idea
Will share with the team asap. Thanks
