I've currently developing a Mac OSX GCS for ArduCopter that will be compatible with ArduPiratesNG code.

 

This is where I'm at for those using Macs

Thankyou thankyou! Just tried it out with my quad running ArducopterNG code and it seemed to work fine. Except the disconnect button doesn't seem to do anything at the moment.

I downloaded your app and when I try to launch it I get the message that it won't run with my version of OSX. 

 

I'm running Mac OS version 10.5.8.

 

Any ideas?

Update to snow leopard (10.6 +) ?

Do you really need 10.6 to run the software? 

Are you calling Mac toolbox calls only available in 10.6? 

If not, you may want to change the parameter in your development environment so that older versions of the OS can run the software...

I could change the SDK OS min requires to 10.5 but all my Macs are running 10.6.x so I can't guarantee anything.
OK, the latest build allows 10.5, let me know if it works on 10.5

It seems to run just fine on 10.5.8.  I'm at work, so I can't connect to my quad, but I'll try it tonight.

 

Thanks!

I tried connecting with my quad tonight and your software works great running Mac OSX 10.5.

Great work!

Just finished implementing graphic roll and pitch display.  That was a big challenge for me as it was the first time I did graphical programming on both iOS and Mac OS.

 

Big thanks to Kim, who's .Net configurator code gave me some insight on how to do it.  It didn't help that i knew nothing about VB and .Net but at least it pointed me in the right direction.

 

New build uploaded, same URL.

Build # 3 updated to include Yaw indicator and the roll indicator has been enhanced to indicate 15, 30, 45, 60 angle of bank.

 

I'm going to work on (GPS) speed and altitude (sonar/BMP/GPS) display, then I'll start working on the PID and transmitter configuration screens.

Thank you, this tool was really missing for the MAC's users. Great Job. I cannot wait for the next release, I tried it today and so far, it works like a charm.

 

Hai Tran: Thank you for doing this. This is great. I downloaded it, started it up, connected to my ArduPiratesNG quad, and played around with it. What you've completed so far appears to be working. Please keep going! :)
