Device Helper in use of adjustment of radio parameter, firmware upgrade, save models, mode change, etc.
Skydroid FPV in use of linking Skydroid video, floating window can be top of others App(need to turn on floating window feature in Android system), use for VR, Video capture and Data rate adjustment).
Skydroid Tower—optimized by tower 4.0, can connect to mavlink protocol of APM,
PX4 flight controller to realize waypoint data telemetry. Also has a video serial port (similar to DJI go).
ATTENTION
You need to wire connect with the Skydroid FPV to open the floating window. Activate QGC and connect with Bluetooth to start telemetry. In the future, when QGC joins Skydroid SDK then the operation will be as simple as Skydroid Tower. No need to connect Bluetooth and no need to multiply another APP on QGC. Very simple. Highly recommend using Skydroid tower.
