Drone Controller With Video for Android

Drone Controller With Video

Drone Controller With Video is an Android app developed by Oxrock Studio in the Utilities & Tools category. This app allows you to remotely communicate and stream video from your Raspberry Pi creation. You can even grant control to someone else, regardless of their location. With this app, you can easily control a bot remotely and race with your friends across the globe.

To use this app, you need to install it on your Android device and connect your Raspberry Pi creation to the internet, running a server script like the one provided by Oxrock Studio on their GitHub. Since the app is designed to control a remote device via the internet, a server script must be running on the remote device.

If your Pi is behind a router, you might need to set up port-forwarding for connections to be made. The app is free to use, and it is easy to take control of your creations with this app. However, it is essential to note that Raspberry Pis can behave strangely when operating at max load, and the onboard wifi powersave can interfere by disabling wifi or restricting its performance.

Version 1.2 of the app has streamlined the video streaming process to be more efficient and allows higher frame rates. The app expects to receive information differently, so updated example code has been provided on Oxrock Studio's GitHub page.
