Map fixes for UAV Toolbox

[Tuna]

Please forgive the multiple posts, but since this affects various Hex models, I'd like to make sure users are aware.

I have a new release candidate for UAV Toolbox, which addresses map loading issues on the ST-16. Testers are encouraged - please let me know if this works for you: UAV Toolbox - Yuneec ST-16

Afternoon, I will give it a try once the weather improves, and will advise, using my H pro

Thanks for the update! Will update mine and report back.

I just tried the new version for my H+ and the ST16S is still unusable for choosing a mission... Why???

It looks like it cannot find any telemetry on that controller - so it does not know what type of drone you're flying.

On the ST16, if you open the system file manager, you should see the usual Android file folders ('Alarms', 'Download', 'Movies' etc.) and a directory called 'Flight2Log' which contains the 'Telemetry' folder for the Yuneec FlightMode2,0 flight control software.

If that file exists, you may need to update your registration:

* Log out of UAV Toolbox and close the app
* Make sure you're connected to the internet - you can check by opening the browser on the ST16 and visiting e.g. google.com
* Re-open UAV Toolbox and log back in again

This should refresh your registration. Let me know if this solves your problems.

Will this work for the H920+ as well?

It very much depends on what flight software it's running. UAV Toolbox is 'non destructive' - it doesn't change any files or apps used by the standard Yuneec controllers - so you can try it out and see what works.

Note however (as is always the case) if you are flying a mission that has been created in any map-based tool, you must be in a position to stop the flight immediately if the drone behaves unexpectedly.

Have you tried the Mission planner built into the FlightMode app for the H920+?

As @Tuna states, UAV Toolbox is non-destructive. You can try making a simple mission to fly in a very open area to test how it works with the 920+.
