Quick-start guide (Using a WiFi connection):

1. Turn on drone and connect using WiFi
2. Start app and navigate to settings. Select either WiFi UDP, TCP or 3DR Solo (if using a 3DR Solo)
3. If setting up WiFi manually, click on WiFi Settings and input the correct IP address and port that the MAVLink protocol is running over. (Usually listed in settings as the router IP, and a port of 14550)
4. Go back to the main screen and press the connect button on the top right. The app should begin displaying information about the drone. If not, double check your WiFi settings.
5. For any other issues, please post on the SidePilot Facebook page

WARNING: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Note: iPads without cellular do not have GPS capability unless tethered to a iOS Device with cellular, and even then it is poor and not suitable for Follow Me or other navigation modes.
