"You are missing "Google Play Service". This is needed for the Map. Check if you can DL it somewhere. Else have a look at gapps, maybe there you can DL the whole google apps package. Should include Google Play Service."

So if you dont get a connection or no output try to look up the kernel modules or if the…"

"Ok i found a new problem. When i connect the APM to my cheap 7" tablet it recognizes the APM an creates the ttyACM0 node that i can read from. But when i use my 10" tablet it recognizes the APM, but does not create a node:

"I made an app with android API 7 which is 2.0 i think and the maps API worked pretty well. Unfortunately bluetooth functions are pretty restricted there. Guess you are right, most cheap china tablets supprt android 4 anyways. Poor guys with older…"

"Too bad USB only works on API 12 / Android 3.1 and higher. Maybe there should be a BT version with Android 2.X support and the USB version with Android 4.x support."

"I tried it on 10" U30GT (BTW pretty nice tablet for the price). The views are ok, but nothing implemented yet, so cant say anything about the rest."

"Ok just had a look at this from adb shell. Looks like android recognizes the APM as serial device. I get output like this:

"Every china tablet with USB should work. I think the description has to say USB OTG to have USB support like mouse and keyboard. If this works the APM should get power too.

But does it work with USB? You need drivers and i dont know if you can…"

Samuel replied to Boris Matuschka's discussion Ardupilot Antenna Tracking via Videolink?
"You can only fly as far as your video still works. In the distance antennas have a pretty big corridor where you can fly without adjusting them directly to the plane. So even if only one of the 25 video frames per second has valid data it should be…"

"Looks like your servo code is not quite right. The servos move much smoother with the rc control than with your phone. Looks like there is a timing issue, had that with my DIY headtracker too. Do you use ~50hz as frequency for PWM calculations? I…"

"No, but i dont have a GPS-Cable that fits the white connector. And BTW...the white connector runs through the GPS pin headers, so if those are damaged i cant even connect it to the white connector. So i just use the telemetry port for gps."
