RC control, telemetry & camera

An application enabling You to use one Android mobile phone as a board computer for Your RC model (plane, heli, quadro or hexacopter, car, ship...) and a second Android device as a remote console displaying telemetry data and enabling remote control.

All available interfaces of mobile phone (GPS, accelerometers) are used for telemetry and internal camera can be remotely controlled to take pictures or video during a flight or a ride.

You never loose Your model now - "Show model on map" feature enables You to check model position based on its GPS coordinates just by one menu command execution.

An external module based on Arduino with Bluetooth interface can be used for battery measurements (LiPo, Li-Ion cell voltages), servo control and other IO functionality (Amarino communication framework must be installed to use this feature, application for Arduino is available for free download on our website). Using this piece of hardware extends telemetry capabilities a lot, but it is not necessary option, You can use all other features of MPBC without this module.

Telemetry data can be stored periodically for post-flight/ride analysis in CSV format using integrated data logger.

Data exchange between "board computer" and "remote client" goes through Internet and is managed by our MPBC server - this communication is enabled for subscribers only, so if You want to use this feature including up to 16 models telemetry configuration storage, please subscribe directly from MPBC application.

There is a 60 days FREE trial period for subscription, so You can test all features of MPBC with no risk - if You cancel subscription before trial period expires, You don't pay anything.

Once You subscribe You will be still able to upgrade to latest application version and benefit from newly added features. You need only one active subscription for Remote Client device, Board Computer device attaches to Your MPBC account after entering acces codes even if this device is configured for different Google user account, so You can use Your friend's or wife's mobile as a Board Computer without reconfiguring its account.

Do You have some older Android mobile phone at home and were You thinking what to do with this device, when You have purchased a brand new Android phone for Your daily use ? That older one can become a Board Computer for Your RC models !

Do You have an Android mobile phone and also an Android tablet ? Then You can use Your phone as Board Computer sometimes and Your tablet as a Remote Client easily !

Enjoy Your flight or ride !
