APM 2 out of beta!

3689405030?profile=originalI'm delighted to announce that APM 2 is now out of beta! The current version is 2.1, and is both available in the downloads section of the code repository (for those who want to play with the code), or can just be loaded as normal through the Mission Planner.

This code largely reflects a ton of bug fixes, small enhancements, efficiencies and lessons learned from preparing for and competing in the Sparkfun Autonomous Vehicle Competition (in which it placed 2nd). It should work well with the latest Mission Planner, HK GCS and Xplane simulation.

 

Huge thanks to Doug Weibel, Paul Mather, Michael Oborne, Andrew Tridgell, James Goppert and Michael Smith, who drove this version.

 

This version has had a huge amount of testing over many months, but as always, there may be some remaining issues or bugs on unusual hardware configurations, so if you find something, please post a report in the Issue Tracker.

  • Hi Happykillmore,

     

    I am still having problems with no instrument response (updated to 1.2.93) is there a solution in the future for this problem?

    At this time the voltage and current divider ratios are some of the parameters that must be changed through the configuration file. They are not yet part of the parameter set that you can change thru the gcs or planner

    Awesome work Well done chaps!!

     

  • Sorry, what I didn't see is that inside the zip are all the files, I thought that it was just the "exe" and the files to run the program... sorry :(
  • Hi Chris, yes, I read it lol, but I am asking for the source code because I would like to modify some things...
  • Ah well guess playtime will be postponed until I've updated to this one now xD
    Well done guys
  • Well done! Can't wait to check it out!

    Mauro: Did you read the post? It's linked right there.
  • Chris: I already tried it (see below link with discussion I had with Happykillmore) nothing helped, and the GCS freezes after a few seconds.
