"Tried the same now on two PCs - Vista and WinXT- always the same effect. Mission planner does not accept any values in the Battery Input tab.

After a long winter break I wanted to make my first flight in 2012 with my easystar and APM (after having more than 50 flights with the same equipment in 2011)   During the initial ground testing I saw, that I could no change the APM modes any more.…

"I am also interested. In most of the cases I fly my ES with EasyGlider wings. Is that kind of data of any use for you or is it a MUST to use the ES wings for testing ?"

"If I go directly to the Wiki I see this

 
If I click on "Intructions" I get

..nothing to select under "Tuning" which is different if I use the link from your post."

"Something is messed up with the APM Manual Website.
If I go to the manual and the config file via your link above, I can get it.
If I try to go there via the standard link "ArduPilot>ArduPilot Mega Manual" on the top of the page, I dont get the link…"

Looks pretty well."

"I did also a lot of flying during the weekend, mainly tuning. Works great, thanks you.
1. Battery status is for me THE number one issue I miss most.
2. If you do tuning in sunny conditions, its even on a laptop very difficult to view the graphics. I…"

"Question: If I use thermopiles, should I just replace your sensor-file with the original one ?
If yes, do you have the original version for me ?"

KnutL commented on Niklas's blog post Ardupilot 2.5 and new groundstation taken to next level.
"Ok. But my issue now is, that I dont get a blue Led from the GPS. I used AP 2.7.1 and used the possibility there to switch THROTTLE_PIN from 13 to 11. I cant remember if I had to change the HW for that. And as far as I can see in 2.5 Pin 11 is used…"

"Ok, I changed the code, put int() in each line. The errors messages in eclipse are all gone.
I can see data comin in, but still NO display in the GS window with regards of pitch/roll thermopiles.
Will do some debugging later the day.
Oops, did not…"

"This is strange. I did not touch your code in that area (why should I). And yes, in the IDE Monitor I can
exactly see, what I can see in eclipse: It does not say %%bla bla;55; it says %%bla bla;55.0000000;
 
And in the code (I hope, this is the…"

"It was easier for me to connect the AP.
I did that and downloaded your code and did some adaptions to my hardware.
The AP runs (hm, I can see, that the servos move if I use my RC). Connecting your GD I can see the servo values
and the CtrlMode, but…"

"Some quick comments:
Donwloaded your code. I imported the Javacode to eclipse first (on Vista), could compile it. Had some minor problems with gnu.io :)
I connected just an Arduino to get a hw connected to an usb port and changed only
one line of…"
