Arducopter v2.5.3 MAVLink Version

Posted by Donald R. Poole, Jr. on April 23, 2012 at 6:58am

All,

Which version of MAVLink does Arducopter v2.5.3 use? I want to used it with the latest version of QGroundControl, but the latest version of QGroundControl used MAVLink v1.0 and I can't seem to get QGroundControl to connect to my APM with the new v2.5.3 release. Can anyone advise as to which version of MAVLink Arducopter v2.5.3 uses and how to connect to it with QGroundControl?

We are waiting for arducopter 2.6...

Thanks!

I've been trying to build QGC with mavlink v0.9 on Linux (Fedora Core 16) and I have had nothing but problems. It seems that the v0.9 branches of QGC and Mavlink are not actually using the same versions of the header files.

Has anyone had success at building QGC from source for v0.9 for Linux (in the past month or two)?

ArduCopter 2.5.3/2.5.4 uses MAVLink 0.9. The next version of ArduCopter (2.6), which will be out in a couple weeks, uses MAVLink 1.0.
