Thanks Linus!

Do the two packages then connect via DLL?  I don't suppose the mission planner will link with just any sim, like Phoenix?

Hi,

you should connect the apm with an reciever on one side and an ftdi cable to your computer.

In the planner you can select the sim tab and if you connect this will be the bridge between the planner and aerosim.

the setup is similar to arducopter-aerosimrc described here:

Have Fun!

Thanks for the link!

So how do the APM Planner and Aerosim software packages talk to each other?  (I think I'm missing something here).

Hi

Jean Louis used  AerosimRC to simulate and i got it running almost.

i think you need the latest version of the apm planner and Aerosim software to get this running.

I was reading where JL used Xplane to do sims on the software for Quad-rotors.  What do we have to model rovers? 

I have a Phoenix sim for 'helis, but I have no information on constructing a model of a rover (or even a 'heli) such that the sim could be used.  Might even be apples and oranges, I don't know.

Interesting you should mention Batman.  My partner (son!) suggested using a boat from a 007 movie as a body.  I'm doing the research, I've already found some simple drawings; now to see if I can do it in Plexiglass!  A lot of complex angles to figure out and cut.

Hi all,

Maybe we ought to consider the Bat-Tumbler design for a futuristic ArduRover: http://www.wired.com/underwire/2012/06/dark-knight-rises-tumbler-de...

Chris,

I think you've already done that!

Alan. Many thanks! Please just PM your email address, linked to a Google account, and I'll add you to the wiki.

Chris,

I write test procedures and reports, as well as robot magazine articles; I'd like to help!  I just received my APM2, so I'll be in start-up phase.
