I was just wondering if there has been any progress in having a native Apple/Mac based GCS for arducopter ( or other ) - that doesn't require all the craziness of emulators and running WindoZe crap and such
I Sometimes don't understand the software world - millions of Macs - Users - etc . . and yet no one writes a mac GCS ?
That is; I installed Windows 7 on Virtualbox (the Sun/Oracle VM) and could map the USB serial port to it.
Works very good although the Mac blows its fan somewhat to hint VirtualBox can be demanding.
The key issue that had me struggle the past two days was I had forgotten to increase the connection timeout from the default 5 seconds in Configurator. I set it to 10 and connecting worked, the Wiki says 30 seconds.
The benefit is that all tools to create QGroundControl are open-source, so anyone interested in establishing ArduCopter support could do it (vs. the expensive LabView license). So it will need some polishing, but could be a very viable medium to long-term option.
BTW: Did you see the recent Google Earth View of QGroundControl? The screenshot was done on a Mac - so it definitely works there.
Any help would be appreciated
Regards,
Richard
The bad news: ArduCopterConfigurator contains windows-only requests for retrieval of registry keys (obviously windows-only). I need to get this cleaned up, but don't know anything about LabView yet :)
In short, the OSX version will take a bit longer - at least I need to figure out LabView first !
