Does the tower app support a bluetooth joystick/gamepad?

[wsalopek]

Hi guys...I'm traveling and don't have access to my Solo..

I understand Tower has virtual joysticks with which to control Solo...correct?

And I know Mission Planner supports real joysticks.

What I'd like to know is if Tower supports a bluetooth joystick/gamepad (as I'd need to use my phone/tablet's USB port for the telemetry modem).

If it does, I wouldn't need to bring a PC into the field to control Solo with a real joystick.

Thanks...

You can't fly Solo without the controller unless you modify it with a telemetry radio. The controller generates the WiFi network that Tower uses to connect with Solo.

Andrew, thanks for that...

Yep, I should have mentioned the modification (which I plan to do).

So still wondering... Does tower support bluetooth joysticks?

Thanks again.

I don't know about Tower, but I have gotten a USB joystick working in Mission Planner. Not as easy to fly as the stock controller though.
