THE ArduPilot Ground Station
Description (
Characters: 2135 of 4000
)
This is the app for drone enthusiasts who wish to have a more portable ground station. Works with ArduPilot autopilot via WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy or Cellular connection, including 3DR Solo. NOTE: You must have either WiFi, Cellular or Serial Bluetooth connection to your drone. User Manual is available at https://sidepilot.net Features: • Supports ArduCopter, ArduPlane and ArduRover via MAVLink protocol. • Displays current drone location, with information such as altitude, yaw, pitch and roll. • ADSB integration to display nearby aircraft and provide warnings. • Create, edit and delete waypoints and geofences. • Audible alerts for important information. • Edit, save and load parameters. • Perform a Pre-Flight checklist with live weather information. • Low battery warnings and alerts. • View onboard video, and live stream it to YouTube. • Record telemetry logs and export for sharing. • Follow Me - Have your drone follow you using your devices GPS location, or visually with Object Tracking. • Orbit mode - Automatically orbit an object for a fantastic cinematic shots! • Grid Waypoints - Create a survey grid to fly • Tap to fly - Tap a location on the map to send your drone there! • Perform calibrations at the field. • And many, many more... Quick-start guide (Using a WiFi connection): 1. Turn on drone and connect using WiFi. 2. Start SidePilot, navigate to settings and select either WiFi UDP, TCP or 3DR Solo (as applicable). 3. If setting up WiFi manually, click on WiFi Settings and input the correct IP address and port that the MAVLink protocol is running over. 4. Go back to the main screen and press the connect button on the top right. The app will begin displaying information about the drone. If not, double check your WiFi settings. Please post suggestions and bug reports on the SidePilot Facebook page or via email to tom@sidepilot.net WARNING: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Note: iPads without cellular do not have GPS capability unless tethered to a iOS Device with cellular, and even then it is poor and not suitable for navigation.}

Sorry for the twin stars.. Followed the instructions and tried to update the copter firmware. It abruptly ended and now my drone has a solid red orange led light lit up. The controller is unable to pair or locate the drone. It keeps displaying waiting for Solo. Can you help pls

Très bonne application , dommage que ce ne soit pas en Français car pour les réglages c’est galère quand on comprend pas l’anglais…… 😡 Dommage aussi que l’on ne puisse pas mettre le solo 3DR à jour ….

This app has kept my Solo flying and I have watched this app go through the changes. Thank you for all the work put into this and keeping my old Solo flying. Cheers.

I just installed this app to get my Solo back in the air and it works so much better than the original factory program, the Solo runs so much more stable. Lots of features that I may never need but you never know when they may come in handy. Thank you! So pleased!

I had an early version and haven’t flown the drone in a while, and the drone wasn’t very stable figuring out if the gyros needed recalibration was fairly complicated, and this new version the app itself told me the gyros needed reconfiguration went into the configuration and walked me through it simply by hitting, turning on its side hitting next. excellent Job improvements. The drone is much more stable as well Probably because the gyros are properly configured now

While connect to drone and app I cannot change the a b button configuration for flight modes . Either app freezes or shuts down. Really would like the function to work properly.

This app is pretty amazing. It just works. One thing that I have to work out is why many functions are “unsupported” (I think that’s what the voice was saying). Any ideas? Thanks for the useful app. Very much worth the money.
