DroneBlocks 1.0.14 Just Released

[DroneBlocks Discussion]

DroneBlocks 1.0.14 includes a live video feed that you can double-tap to toggle between sizes (see the screens below). This version will also save your last mission on exit. That mission will get loaded when you open the app again.

Here is the small video preview:

and when you double-tap the preview it will enlarge:

You can double-tap again to shrink it back to a smaller size. We realize there is a lot of wasted space around the video feed. We'll be addressing that in an upcoming release.

Let us know if you run into any problems or have any suggestions!

First of all I really like how well the Db app is maturing. You're doing an awesome job with integrating all the input you're receiving. With that, there are two menu features if you can add I think would be nice enhancements.

    1. Under the Land menu, can you add a RTH (Return to Home) option? I know there's a RTH + Land but a RTH only feature could serve as a quick way to re orientate your aircraft.
    2. Can you eventually add point to point route navigation with present position Lat/Long  info displayed?
    3. Another possible option would be to add a TDHAA (Time, Distance, Heading, Altitude, Airspeed) menu option. There's all kinds of math calculations that can be incorporated into this feature.

Just a couple ideas to kick around. I am anxiously awaiting the updated version that will allow mission saving and sharing :-)

Thanks for the good words. We're very glad to hear you're enjoying DroneBlocks. 

1. Regarding the RTH you should see a "return home and land" block. It will look like this:

2. We're thinking about adding a go to waypoint block that will allow a user to click waypoints on a map. Present position is a good idea. We'll add it to the list.

3. We can certainly add more telemetry data and agree lots of math can come from this.

Right now we're in the process of a code preview option as well as saving/sharing.

Stay tuned and keep the feedback coming!
