Downloading the app:

The app can be downloaded from Google Play Store

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eziosoft.ezgui.inav&hl=en

It requires Android 4.3 and up

Connections:

The app can be connected using couple of methods:

  1. Bluetooth - you need a Bluetooth module, expected range is about 20-50 meters
  2. Direct USB connection - this one is the easiest one because it doesn’t require any additional hardware. You need only USB OTG cable. (From what I heard cables delivered with Samsung phones that has two micro usb plugs doesn’t work because they don’t have data pins connected and they are designed to charge other devices from your phone). I use cheap cables from Ebay or Bangood. Also the phone has to support OTG functionality. Most of the new models do, but the app can’t detect if the phone supports it or not. Sometimes Android things that it has OTG support and the hardware is not there, sometimes is other way around that hardware is there but Android doesn’t know about it. But as I said it should work correctly with modern Android devices. I don’t get many complains about this method.
  3. WIFI - in my tests I’ve used esp8266 chip to make WiFi to serial converter. It works well. Easy to make and easy to operate. More info here:  http://ez-gui.com/manual/multiwii-clearflight-wifi-to-ezi-gui-how-to/#Short_version  - first 10 points, the rest is an older approach.
  4. Bluetooth LE - I was asked to designed this to work with HM-10 modules but it doesn’t work well. This bluetooth module has very small buffer and it loses the bytes.

Tip: Method 2 is not restricted only to direct cable connection. You can use ie 3DR Radio module to have wireless long range telemetry. During autonomous missions long range link can be used to monitor the flight.

Startup screen

Three main buttons:

  1. Connect - for connection
  2. Create Mission - allows you to create/edit mission without connection to the model. So you can prepare a mission earlier than save it and use it later
  3. Check Airspace - displays informations about nearby airspace restrictions. Data is pulled from AirMap - https://www.airmap.com/
