NOTE: Parameter settings was also broken. Next release we will also have 'beta' releases so we can avoid these simple mistakes getting into stable releases, and if you are so inclined, can help us test before release.
2.0.13 improves connectivity with bluetooth devices as well. :-) Thx for all the reports so far on these issues. You can always try the daily builds if you like to experiment see http://firmware.diydrones.com/Tools/APMPlanner/daily/
NOTE: auto tlogging was broken, so we have pushed a minor update to fix the issue. There are some other small changes as well, see the release notes for more info

Thanks Michael. The main download page only lists an Ubuntu download which lead me to the impression it's the only one deb. Now that I checked again I see a debian x64 download which I should have used.
Simon Wunderlin: You're using the latest_debian installer?(http://firmware.diydrones.com/Tools/APMPlanner/apm_planner2_latest_...) It should not require anything that is not included in debian stable, if it is I will look into it fixing that.
Hi Bill, thanks for the update!
I am on Debian stable (wheezy 7). libc6 is at version 2.13, 2.15 required for this update.
It seems to be simple and safe to upgrade to libc6 from testing (2.19).

Done
well if I am not mistaking it is a function that was done on the droidplanner for android to use the tlogs to alway indicate last known location (and log it in a timeline form) so at any moment you can click on that position and launch a "locator" type of function that will indicate you the way to that point. Very useful when you lose your copter in a crop field....
When will the "Locator" be integrated? I've seen it working and it sure looks nice and a very needed function!
OK cheers Aaron
Hi Stuart, for future use the common mavlink message reference is here: https://pixhawk.ethz.ch/mavlink/
I think I'm sorted now...I cheekily created a misison in mission planner and loaded it, then opened APM planner 2 and read it and found it is #201, I then googled this and found this
https://github.com/GaloisInc/ardupilot-mega/blob/master/ArduCopter/...
Cheers,
Stu
I have searched with no luck, how do I use the other commands for ROI? I can't find the command # required for ROI.
I am trying APM planner as it seems to work with my bluetooth bridge where Mission Planner doesn't.
