Here's what I get. You can see I am connected but the button brings up this error.

I have the same problem trying to download the logs, "error opening com port". If I run the Mission Planner (1.2.14) as an administrator, then it worked.

The mission planner needed to know that you were an administrator? If so, I will check that out.

Thanks

I confirm this on win7 64 bit.

I am a .net developer for day job.

Was connected in mission planner 1.2.14 mav 1.0 using an apm2 with 2.8.1 firmware and could browse config etc.

Hit the terminal tab, terminal connected but top bar switched to disconnected.

then hit download logs, got error opening com port as described above.

closed mission planner, started it again by right click, run as administrator.

download logs works fine.

I had this issue last night.   However I think the issue is unrelated to admin access.

It appears that having the mission planner connected is causing problems with the terminal session.  Mission planner connection is occupying the com port when the terminal try's to connect.

By shutting down the MP and reopening, the terminal will connect....UNLESS you connect with the mission planner first.

i think this problem should be fixed. its all to do with how quickly you press log download...

I’m having this same problem but my work around is not having to shut down MP but knowing if I’m going into Terminal to retrieve the logs, I click the Terminal button the second time once confirmed connection is good the first time.  Once I’ve seen the Terminal connection screen twice, then I click on the Log Download button and it works no problem.

I'm running Windows 7/64 and no need to be in administrator mode.

 

This is a little annoying until it can be fixed, but better than shutting down MP.

mp 1.2.33 should fix this, for good.
