For a SpecialDrones need special Control Console : VR Radio RC 1.4 is available on Google Play for beta testing join us
In last two months we are working to new special console for control our drone , gimbal , rc models ... we develop a special application on android and some hardware interface for interconnect different kind of tx radio module. Our idea is to virtualize the hardware interface and have a flexible enviroment for control different kind of application.
This is only a preview of our work in the picture above is possible to see the direct interface with Jeti radio tx module.
In this kind of configuration the VR Droid PAD connect directly by a custom hardware the Jeti Tx module.
So is possible to use same reciver on your drone without change it.

- Management mode 1,2,3,4 as standard RC trasmitter.
PPMSUM standard output compatible with the most 'popular radio modules tx.

News on revision 1.4 27/03/2013
1) New name , we change the name to application the old was VR DROID RC Trasmitter , we change it in VR Radio RC , more simple , we change also the link in google play:)
2) We deactivate the limit inside the application and add some special function for customize the widget available on main screen , we prefer mantain priority on control of drone . So on the scrreen you choose to have only virtual stick.
3) Add the configuration of radius of virtual stick it's customizable directly inside the option pannel.
4) Improve Option pannel its more simple and better organized.
5) Add the Expo control for the stick.
5) Add feeback on 3 channel : gas ( on 1 speaker channel) and pitch (on vibro) is fixed and you can add 1 other feedback and decide if is on yaw or roll on vibro .

Cool...can this be adapted to other transmitters? Would be really cool if you could display the output of a FPV receiver on the Android tablet too :-)
