3DR Solo Version 2.4.0

CanadianSolo · Jul 5, 2016

Bump.

Anyone know when this is going to fly for Android?

iOS is for the birds and fanboys.

No like button for you. Attitude knob needs a turn down.

Hi Pyrate,

Chris A has posted today that geo fence will be released for android. No due date yet for 2.4 for android and no AR mentioned yet. They have taken a lot of heat over the android issue.

True but that has changed, I think the CEO trumps the support VP.......

No probs, it certainly looks like 3DR are listening and taking action which is nice. I had hoped this is what would happen. No idea if further pressure will get us AR, would be nice but not holding my breath for that. With some luck they'll get a good android dev on board and they'll be back to the old pathway.

Does any one can confirm that the parameter "WP_Yaw_Behavior" did'nt work with 2.4 update anymore ? I like the funktion "Face next waypoint " when starting RTH.

Follow up discussion over there got interesting.

Yes my statements still true, i said on either this thread or the other one i was not sure if it was going to be in 2.4 app. Just means we wait a bit longer. They still intend to add it to android from that text.

What makes me happy is that they have a roadmap and it includes Android. Am i disappointed they wont have it in 2.4, you bet but i know it is still on the cards.

We don't know anything beyond 2.4.

Edit: oh, and there will be "More software features, especially on the enterprise/cloud side"

pyrate · Jul 6, 2016

Well bad news fans, seems my original information was correct and the geofence for android 2.4 has been corrected on DIY forums

Using the new geofencing feature with the 3DR Solo – DIY Drones

Here's a primer on custom geofencing with Solo, which has never been easier. It has just been released in the new 3DR Solo app for iOS and will be coming to Android soon: (Correction: all the other features in the latest Solo iOS app, such as rewind, are coming to Android in the next month or so, but we do not have an Android ETA for geofencing yet. Sorry for the confusion on that -- I read the internal roadmap too fast and missed that)

dronesquid · Jul 6, 2016

I have an old iphone 4 I could use as a dedicated Solo device. Is that too old an IOS device?

jibcamera · Jul 6, 2016

so basically, the CEO wasnt really aware that android has acquired second class citizen status within his company...meanwhile, we're just sitting here like chumps...got it...thanks..alot @Vu.3DR

and for those that dont want to read the blog, within Chriss comments, he also offered this:
Comment by Chris Anderson 6 hours ago

John: Now that that FAA commercial regs are in place and the cloud side of our stack is out and performing well, we're accelerating our move to 100% enterprise. The plummeting price points and competition on the consumer side makes that market uneconomic for anything other than the biggest consumer electronics companies (and maybe even for them) so you won't see additional *consumer* vehicles from us directly. But from our partners, who knows? ;-)

I can confirm that the 2.4 update did that to mine to. The update didn't change the parameters but yes mine does not face next waypoint.
