Dear DIY community,
I am trying to achieve the same level of control as I do in Mission Planner from within the Arduino environment. I have followed all of the instructions placed online but I still cannot achieve everything that I would like to when deploying parameters and such from Arduino rather than Mission Planner.
I would like to be able to use my parameters with which I tuned a previous plane in Mission Planner - or even ones that I find online - but there are no instructions on where to place these parameters in Arduino. In Mission Planner they would be uploaded within the "Advanced Parameters" tab with ArduPlane firmware.
Additionally I would like to be able to touch the inner workings of the autopilot and move the plane mid-simulated flight within X-Plane. Currently Arduino will not let me upload changes while I am performing hardware-in-the-loop simulation.
I would really appreciate any help that I can receive on this.
A tuned plane would be great, as well as the option to play with the autopilot's settings and write new way-points on the fly and redirect the plane from within the software alone. If Arduino is not capable of doing this there must be another form of deployment that can, please point me in that direction if this is the case.
Thank you

There is no other way to control the ArduPilot other than Mission Planner?
I am realy not sure what you are trying to do. Arduino IDE is for writing code and then compiling and uploading to an arduino board. Are you writing your own arduino based GCS? You cannot load parameters with a programing interface, you need a GCS such as MissionPlanner. What instructions are you talking about?
