Achilleus 4.0.5 turns your map into a ground station for ArduPilot and PX4 drones. NEW: DRONE CONTROL (Sensors › Drone control) • Take control of an ArduPilot or PX4 multirotor drone over Wi-Fi or a network link (MAVLink). Listening stays the default: nothing is sent until you tap Take control • Ready to fly? checks the drone's own reports, then one slide arms it and takes off • Big controls on the map: Pause, Return, Land, Mode. A long press on the map: Fly here, Orbit here, Point the camera here. Every move says what will happen and is confirmed with a slide, and every command shows the drone's answer • Plan missions as a few steps: waypoints, photo surveys (lines, photos and detail worked out from your camera), corridors, orbits and the IAMSAR search patterns (expanding square, sector, parallel track) • Heights above the ground from your elevation data, with a terrain and radio line-of-sight profile and warnings before you send • Geofence and rally points, MAVLink 2 signing, and your own height and distance limits • Import and share QGroundControl .plan and Mission Planner .waypoints files; flight logs you can replay on the map • Practice drone: a simulated drone inside the app, to learn the controls and train IMPROVED • Taps on the map work more reliably on phones and tablets, also near the bottom edge of the map Thank you for your feedback.
