APM 2.0.17 NO WIZARDS!

Posted by Sky on April 23, 2015 at 6:28am

I am running APM 2.0.17 on MAC and I am not seeing the mandatory setup wizards. Searching around I see a similar problem from A YEAR AGO and wonder if this is just how it is?

Please help! I dread the idea of buying a Microsoft product so I hope to find a fix for this.

Thanks!

There is also basic documentation here on using the planner to get started http://planner2.ardupilot.com

First timer so I like the Wizard route.

Just to be clear I am using and the problem is with APM not MP!

  Yes, sorry - my bad. Just remembered another thread that complained about wizard resetting too much.
  
  Luckilly, there is no wizards yet, - wizards are dumbed-down version of stepping thru essential configuration steps.
  
  APM planner is very nicely arranged, you you just need to look into every item from top to bottom:
  
  Install desired firmware first.
  
  Then connect , click "initial setup" , then go thru all items in "mantadory setup" - you've done whatever a wizard would do.
  
  Then proceed to "optional setup" - and configure whatever applies.
  
  - done :)

    I've installed firmware successfully.
    
    The next button down is "3DR RADIO" which displays a host of different fields between "LOCAL"and"FIELD" radios.
    Is "mandatory setup" a button like "Firmware" and "3DR Radio"? I only have the two buttons present.
    
    Thanks !

      Connect, then you'll see the rest.

        Connect USB-Pixhawk or USB-Telemtry Radio?

        That's entirely up to you :)
        
        57600 is baudrate for radio , 115200 for USB cable
