Quick-start guide (Using a WiFi connection):
1. Turn on drone and connect using WiFi.
2. Start SidePilot, navigate to settings and select either WiFi UDP, TCP or 3DR Solo (as applicable).
3. If setting up WiFi manually, click on WiFi Settings and input the correct IP address and port that the MAVLink protocol is running over.
4. Go back to the main screen and press the connect button on the top right. The app will begin displaying information about the drone. If not, double check your WiFi settings.
Please post suggestions and bug reports on the SidePilot Facebook page or via email to tom@sidepilot.net
WARNING: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Note: iPads without cellular do not have GPS capability unless tethered to a iOS Device with cellular, and even then it is poor and not suitable for navigation.
