QGroundControl Initial Integration for ArduPilotMega Complete


ArduPilotMega integration with QGroundControl is finally finished. All of the basic functionality is there although there are some finishing touches that need to be done. I added the ability to set local/global waypoints and also actions (takeoff/land/etc.) to easily integrate with the existing APM autopilot software. A 3d osgearth view inspired from dronegcs is in the works and we hope to have it together soon.

That looks awsome. Where can I download the QGroundControl?

Setup is documented on my last blog post which can be found here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/qgroundcontrol-integration-for-2

One of the other cool features that I set up is the ability to set the gains in the gcs and upload them to the board wirelessly without resetting the board. You can see this in the top right of the first screen shot. This will allow in flight gain tuning for the brave. :-)

you appear to be missing #include "global_data.h" from the svn

Thanks! The file is in the svn now.

You will need the dev branch of qgroundcontrol for full functionality.

Is this still for big screen people? I have a EeePC 4G which is only 800x480

I second that. I am using an ACER Aspire One netbook 10" display
