Over the past couple of weeks I have been busy reworking my original APM Mission Planner. Together with my partner/designer Samantha Nelson we have focused on improving the APM Planner’s interface, ideally resulting in a more intuitive user experience.   

Below are a couple screenshots of the new APM Planner!

Hi Michael

 

Great work !

I must admit I like this GCS alot more then the older version APM GCS but that aside , I would like to get more info on planning a mission through GCS .

 

When planning a mission with 10 WPs and home is WP 1 and I want the UAV to take off automaticlly do I just select WP 2 at the end of the runway ? what altitude must be typed in at home and what hight has to be typed in an WP10 (land command) back at home location what must the Altitude be 0m? or 1675m where I am currently ?

also do you have any plans for antenna tracking and video streaming through easycap in the near future ?

also if I want to upload my own custom code through your Planner how do I do that ?

 

Regards Johann

Johann,

 

With auto take off and landing, i would have a look at the wiki, as there is much more information there than what i could give. http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/AutoLand

 

As for antenna tracking, ill put it on my todo list, and as far as i know easycap devices should work just fine. i dont own one so cant say 100%

as for your custom code, you will always require arduino for that.

Perhaps it has been mentioned allready. But could it be possible to display the current flying mode?

This for the arducopter: stable; loiter, auto,.....

 

thx and great work

Mees, this is done. make sure you pick arducopter before you connect. and all the modes wil be correct. version 1.0.7 is out also.

Im having an issue in APM Planner the takeoff pitch paramater isnt defined and zeros the field. HK planner is able to set the pitch, and it shows on the next read in apm planner, although any change and it zero's it again.
