MultiWii

Hi. Is there anybody who can write an app for an android phone, which can config the wii copter over bluetooth? Greetings kayle

I'm interesting too about it, i think there so much people with android celulars.

I subscribe to android 2.2 GUI over bluetooth

hey dramida,

how do you do that ?

Hi,
Another possibility is to use something like this: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_appl ... _mgzm.html
And implement vt100 configurator in MultiWii.. Would not look cool, but will work..

Yesterday I was thinking about this.
I think that's a better idea (at least in the first stage) to add in the firmware some very basic console command to be used using a simple serial terminal.
In this way you can use one of the various Bluetooth terminal program to adjust the various parameters without a custom software (that should be mantained and updated for every release of multiwii).
Also you can use anything that has a bluetooth serial terminal software to configure your multiwii.

@ Alex: It's possible make what Thoshiro says??

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes, it can be done and it is not that much complex.
Obviously at the beginning I would enable such a tool only with motor disarmed(it involves only fairly simple processing but I think is better to be absolutely sure it does not interfere with the stabilization timings).
As soon as I have some spare time I'll start to work on this.
I don't like too much to carry also my laptop along all the other things to fly

I think it should be quite easy to make a smartphone app to reproduce what you see on the LCD.
Note that today, all parameters can be changed with the LCD.
This way all parameters could be seen on the smartphone, and changed via RC or maybe also via the smartphone.

Thanks Toshiro and Alex...

There're some Java master arround here with some free time? to much people will appreciate his great work....

Hi,

i'm making a tricopter and my goal it tu have an android phone on it tu get GPS, FPV and some others sensor informations and sent it to arduino and anotehr android phone via wifi, os i'll can help when i'll finish my setup.

Hey,

I already have a working app, but with a new version coming out it's better to wait to have it compatible with that.
When that is done I'll post it on the market to allow to auto-updates and so on...

If there are any features you guys would like to see implemented just list them here.

Thanks

Oh yes IceWind !

Wath is the features of your app ? Graph available ? Access of all parameters ?

Good !

Thank's!!

Hi maxic31,

I might add some more advanced graphs in it later but for now the main goal
is to have a portable configuration tool.

Hello IceWind!

You're completely rigth, the first thing is to be able to change all parameters.

I'have bluetooth module like this :http://wbb.multiwii.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=133#p519. Your android app is able to discuss with the multiwii trouth this interface? (it's like a serial port).

Any date of market arrival ?


Tank's!

Hi IceWind!,
Any chance to make it open source?

Hi
Any newzs about that ?

Some updates.

Some issues caused some delays on the development.

- Not much free time.
- Waiting for final version 1.7 to get a final data stream to work with.
- Waiting for the BT module ( viewtopic.php?f=6&t=133#p519)

So I'm back in action, I already updated the data parsing and I've been testing with that BT dongle, before I was using the silver module from Sparkfun.
It's 5x more expensive and 5x crappier! :S This new one properlly exposes the SPP service and my Linux box likes it much more.

I'm updating now the parameters settings UI to match the changes and hopefully I plan to release a alpha version during this weekend or beginning of next week!
(Depends on how good is the weather and if I go out to fly. =) )

Stay tuned!

Do you plan to add sensor-readings to your app?

I'm currently working on that on my app (see http://wbb.multiwii.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=248).
Since it's waste of manpower to implement things twice I suggest we join and both work on your app (since it's already on the market).
