Introduce Andropilot.
Andropilot is an open-source ground station system (GCS)
Supports the tuning and control of APM on Android-based phones/tablets
Functional Features:
1. Support 3DR digital transmitter, Xbee radio and Bluetooth connection
2. Support USB Direct-Connect APM
3. Support set waypoint, on-line adjustment APM parameters, parameter backup and so on and so on, please develop it yourself
Requirements:
1. Android System (nonsense) more than 4.0 of the system, of course, 2.xx should also be supported
2. There are several 3dr,xbee (it is said that the 3DR support of the station is better)
3. If you want USB direct-connect APM, you need more than 4.2 systems
4. Your Android phone/tablet must support OTG features (that is, you can plug in a USB stick, keyboard, mouse, whatever)
5. You need an OTG line
Software can be downloaded via Google Play or on GitHub
For the convenience of everyone I have uploaded the Baidu network disk

Download the installation software
Then reboot (recommended to do this step)
Two ways to connect
================================================
1. Digital communication station Connection (orange test success)
After you've done the above steps,
APM plug in the number of stations, after the completion of APM self-test
Mobile phone/tablet plug the OTG line and connect the digital station (computer) to the OTG line
There are generally two situations
(1) the TX and RX lights on the digital station are always on, indicating that the power supply is insufficient, please fully power the phone/tablet, or plug in the OTG cable auxiliary power (TEN3)
(2) The light of the counting station flashes normally, then it is normal.
General Flat will prompt "whether to open this USB device with Andropilot" Click Yes, Andropilot will automatically open and connect
The following will be informative (forgive me for not cutting the picture) "3dr xxx Telemetry to APM" (not see)
Wait a minute, and you'll be able to connect to APM via digital communication.
If you have entered the program, point in the upper right corner of the row point (that is, set) and then return to the main program interface, the program will automatically reconnect
Last few
 
This is my classmate's fixed-wing firmware.
Looks like the computer can be omitted.



===============================
2.USB Direct-Connect APM (not successful, pending test)
The steps are similar to the 3DR method
It's just a 3DR-digit transfer station.
First, ensure sufficient power
With the OTG line directly connected to APM, you will also see the prompt "Do you want to open this USB device with Andropilot", and the steps and methods are the same
But I failed, the software has been prompted to "receive Mavlink data", there is no response
You can use your own pad/phone to try


===============================
Only a few functions were tried in a hurry.
More versatile people can go to develop
=================================
3DR Digital communication Station is a classmate's test.
When I tried USB direct connection, I found my APM USB port was broken ... Sad for a play
Looks like the number one is the king.
