QGroundControl vs MissionPlanner

Posted by Jake Stew on March 29, 2012 at 5:52pm

Is anyone using QGroundControl with any APM boards?


I came across QGroundControl and immediately saw that it has several needed features that MissionPlanner doesn't.  Namely 3D google earth views and a more advanced GUI.


Just curious about any experiences.  Besides the obvious jaw-dropping effect of 3D google earth it also presents a more professional interface.  I've been thinking for awhile that it would be hard to display the "Fischer-Price" looking interface of MP in a professional context.

    In what kind of a professional context would you be using a Mickey Mouse airplane? http://www.nitroplanes.com/93a300-1400-skytrainer182-red-rtf-24g.html The MP has lots of fans on this site. You're not going to make any friends with posts like this.

      Agreed that the MP interface is somewhat Mickey Mouse. Would love to see some software usability employed with the UI. It can be quite frustrating to use.
