I saw the drone sitting on the office floor in the office video late last night and wondered if you were working on this. I'll be trying this out with my 2.0 and my windows 8 tablet on Sunday (maybe sooner, depending on how the weather behaves)

Many thanks!

The old days are back, DJs amazingly fast and frequent updates, and the handheld quick video captures ! Keep them coming! Thanks DJ!

One additional request for drone 2 support. The drone 2 now supports infrastructure mode as well as ad hoc wifi. Can you add the ability to specify the IP address off the drone being connected? That way I can control an EZ-B and a drone from the same computer, ir even the same instance of ARC.

Thanks,

Alan

DJ.. I found the issue with the Delete Servos in Auto position. Just to Remember: I Could not Delete the servos using the DEL key on the MAC keyboard... (win 7 running as virtual machine on MAC)

Well, If I Use the "fn+delete" combination keys.. it works! Strange, but it's true..:)

@tevans - the fn+delete combo on a Mac is the same as just del on windows. If you just push delete on a Mac it does the same as backspace on a PC. If you press backspace in windows it won't delete the servos in auto positioned. So you're doing it right by pressing fn+delete:)

First I would say that you do a fantastic job. congratulation! then I would ask if it is possible with this latest update to the air drone 2.0 follow an object as was done with the air drone 1.0? I have an air drone 2.0 almost a year and a dream to do this. Thank you.
