About Me:
Hardware and Software engineer since the early 80's with a keen interest in realtime control. First FPV was a Schluter Mini-Boy with a home-made UHF transmitter and a Philips B&W Surveillance camera, in 1988.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
One thing that motivates me is that realtime homebrew FPV seems to have stalled at NTSC/PAL resolutions. We can do better, much better!

"@ William Randol
Thanks! Seems like 2.0.0-RC2 will build natively on either pi with almost exactly the instructions here. Do you mean the latest version of APM Planner which is current on github now? Have you managed to build that like you describe…"

"@Bill Bonney Well, the cross build seems to have completed without incident, finally, if I'm not sorely mistaken.
I moved the binary over to the pi, and it seems to run the same as the version built natively there.
That's on a Kubuntu instance…"

"If you setup a cross-compile for RPi and document it I can setup an automated build..."
Well, here it is running from a native compile on the Rpi2 model B, which is faster than the original in case people are interested in the speed…"

Thanks a bunch! Last night I built MP 2.0.0-RC2 on the Raspberry Pi 2. In this case it only took about 1.5 hours. This machine doesn't seem to respond too well to the "2.0" overclocking profile in raspi-config, so I rand it at "modest"…"

Oh, thanks, Bill. The thought just occurred to me last night, after a day of build wrangling on the pi!
Willing to bet it builds in ~1/2 hour on a properly configured PC running the cross toolchain.
I only really bumped up my swapfile…"

"Success!
Got it to build on a Pi 1! It does require some mucking around to increase swapfile size, to get the build to complete, and also to get it to boot up quickly, and also a fast, big, SD card is helpful. I actually got it to connect to the…"

"Oh, woops, I should have noticed. Droidplanner for Android. Different thing.
Although, I still think it's worth a try to compile it for the RPi2."

"Thanks RC Tech!
From the TV stick specs, looks like if it works passably there it might just work passably on a Raspberry Pi 2 (Quad core Arm A7).
Any luck getting it to build on the TV-stick?"

"This project can no longer be built. I tried with the latest version of Mission Planner, and also grabbed the archived 2.0.0-rc2.
It would be great to be able to try this out. Perhaps the RC Tech.se or Magnus might want to re-compile the thing from…"

I'm no expert on how the MinimOSD works, but did you google that error message? "EEPROM Outdated"?
Maybe have a look at the source and search for that message.
I, too, am wondering how the EEPROM image can be corrected if it…"

"So, where is the "latest" minimOSD firmware for download?
Let's say someone has the latest Arduplane or Arducopter. What is the URL for the minimOSD FW which goes with that?
Anyone?"

"For third-party machines, i.e. not an "iris", is the camera pitch gimbal connection meant to be on I/O pin 11, as shown in the gimbal info on the site, in order for the APM to control it for ROI?"
