For reasons unknown to end users like ourselves (we are NOT Yuneec employees) the update server for firmware has been offline since the end of September. Firmware updates are only performed via the server.

Flying it up my …, will only result in it smelling like and flying even more like

I would suggest you contact one of the vendors that do repairs @Yuneec Skins or @joe@vertigodrones

Hi I recently bought the Mantis G drone (Germany).

I already had some problem in the beginning to find the proper piloted app as it does not seem to be available in the google play store and the one on the official website is just v 2.0.2 which is, as far as I read outdated?

So, my next question would be, the firmware of my Drone and controller is both 1.0.0.1 and when I check for updates it says that this is the newest version. Is this true? If not, how do I get the newest firmware’s?


thanks

Hello I Can Help.

Thank you for offering, but please note this is an old thread. The OP has not visited the forum since November of 2022 and is not likely to respond.
However, if you can post information that can help others in the future, that would be great

Do we have any alternative to yuneec pilot app for Android 15?

Yuneec Pilot app is the only app designed for the Mantis series drones.

Are you experiencing the issue where you can fly, but do not get the video feed?

Since it is abandoned, is there source code available for us to update or, did anyone try PX4 does it work?

Peruse GitHub for Mantis G and PX4 by Advanced Technology Labs. There was some experimentation by them a few years ago, but I no longer have a link to it.

The iOS version of the app was designed for iOS 10 and works fine even on iOS 18. The Android version was designed for v5.0 and worked fine until v8.0. Part of the issue on Android seems to stem from the port not recognizing that it is being used for data as opposed to charging. I heard on a different forum that a data only cable (power wire not used) may force port to be in data mode.

I do not thing the issue stems from the controller. I might be wrong but since i do not have live feed using the drone without controller at all I believe it is an issue of android libraries.
Did anyone try to build and test GitHub - mavlink/qgroundcontrol: Cross-platform ground control station for drones (Android, iOS, Mac OS, Linux, Windows) to fly mantis?

If this worked i will try to make it work in Android 15.

I have used QGC to connect to the Mantis series to do a gyro calibration during repair. I have not attempted flight with QGC on my Win10 laptop as I am not a fan of virtual sticks.

f this worked i will try to make it work in Android 15.

Is there a chance of cloning the Yuneec Pilot app and updating the libraries to work with newer versions of Android?

FYI, I got out my Fire 7 tablet and used it to connect to several Mantis Q's and a Mantis G. I used both Yuneec Pilot v2.04 and v2.07 (for G version only). All were able to provide a video feed to the Fire 7 tablet.

The Mantis G is on firmware v1.0.01.

The Mantis Q's were on firmware v1.1.07 (one is still on v1.1.06).

You can`t update Mantis Q firmware using QGC, and you should not try, as QGC states "QGroundControl desktop versions can install PX4 Pro or ArduPilot firmware onto Pixhawk-family flight-controller boards"

Mantis Q is PX4 based, but it has not a Pixhawk compatible board.

I had no problems using QGC v.3.4.4 and v.3.5.0. At first start they show a warning:



but after some checks, I was confident to load an perform missions perfectly.



I found hard to control the drone using the "virtual joysticks", but it was very easy to execute missions.

I didn't...
