Andruav

Two Android phones. No other gear. One rides on your drone or RC vehicle, the other stays in your hand — and together they give you unlimited-range telemetry, live HD FPV video, and a direct line into Mission Planner. Andruav has been rebuilt from the ground up for 2026: modern Android support, a reworked video pipeline, and a new dark interface.


Tip

Download Andruav on Google Play.


Two Phones. That’s It.

Mount one Android phone on your drone or RC vehicle running Andruav. That’s your companion computer — it talks to your ArduPilot flight controller and to the cloud over WiFi or 3G/4G/5G, so range stops being limited by your radio.

Your second phone is the ground station. Install Andruav on it too, or skip the install entirely and open the WebClient — Mobile View in any mobile browser — a phone-sized live view with map, flight controls, FPV, and unit status, ready in one tap. See WebClient for the full browser-based ground station.

See What Your Drone Sees

Andruav turns your drone-side phone’s camera into an FPV feed — no analog gear, no extra antennas. Stream it to multiple ground stations at once, in different places in the world, all watching the same flight live.

Live FPV video with telemetry overlay: battery, speed, altitude, GPS status

  • Zoom, flash, and front/rear camera switching mid-flight

  • Picture-in-picture — the feed keeps streaming while you use the rest of the app

  • Local and remote recording, with GPS-tagged snapshots plotted on a map

Plays Nice With Mission Planner

Andruav isn’t a closed box. Its built-in UDP proxy forwards live telemetry straight into Mission Planner or QGroundControl over UDPCI — configure it once from the phone or the web client and fly with the GCS you already know. It’s the same link that carried radio control input for a demo drive between Cairo and Los Angeles: 12,193 km, controller in one city, car moving in the other. See Andruav Telemetry and Web UDP Telemetry.
