Hi
I am new to this and got a working ArduPilotMega soldered together and flashed with the current APM release 2.1.2. Sensor output looks reasonable from the CLI test utility. I would like to hook up my APM on ground to qGroundControl (0.8.3-build24). For that matter I have used the «APM_Config_mavlink_hil.h» header file and recompiled/uploaded the APM software.
When I connect the APM via USB to qGroundControl i see some binary data in the console, but «Telemetry Data Line Plot» does not show me any sensors (115200 baud, tested, first output lines after reset is proper ascii data, see screenshot).
Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Kind regards,
-S

I just grabbed the source code via git for qgroundcontrol and compiled it on debian linux. After hooking up the Arduino I get the same result: Serial works, MAVLink protocol sends some data but I do not see the any curves (nor selectable values) in the Engineer's view. However, the "Onboard parameters" widget seems to be able to read the available parameters from APM (this looks a little better now).
Here are my connection options:
But how to get it plotting cuves? I am sure I am doing something wrong.
Any help is appreciacted.
Kind regards,
