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 

Happy Independence Day for those in the US.

A new release of APM Planner 2.0.13 is available.

In this release we have

  • Upload to Droneshare
    • You can now upload logs to Droneshare from the Graph View.
  • Support for APM Mission Planning commands
    • All APM specific commands are supported. (excludes ROI, but you can add with Mission Other command)
  • Mission Elevation Display.
    • You can now see the elevation profile and compare against the terrain based on the Google map data
  • Rework of serial port handling.
    • New improvements in stability of serial port handling including bluetooth support.
  • Update improvements
  • Mission Editing performance issues (deleting 119 waypoints down from 10mins to 17secs)
  • Graph View now show mode changes with text for bin/tlog/log file formats.
  • Support for Ubuntu 14.04LTS (Trusty Tahir) builds (coming Monday, see preview here (It's identical except the version reports as 2.0.10)  (Trusty Tahir builds are now ready see here)

and many many more fixes... download here http://ardupilot.com/downloads/?category=35

Enjoy

    That works! I just typed a V in the box and it showed COM15V in the planner. Then I clicked COM15 again, and Connect and that's all.

    Thank you Michael.

    Alright so it's not properly detecting a single COM port. What happens if you type something in the com port box, then click the drop down and select COM15 again?

  • Jerry Wisse July 15, 2014 at 6:02am

    Thank you for your quick response!

    It does say: No Devices:3701784257?profile=original3701784203?profile=originalThe device manager shows no other COM port. Clicking gives:

    I assume that COM15 shows up in the upper right hand corner, and it doesn't say "No devices" ? Go into the connection by clicking on the com port or baud rate, and re-select the com port (or change it and select it again), if that fixes it then I'll file a bug report

    I have the same problem using APM Planner 2.0.13. With MissionPlanner 1.3.7 all works well (COM15). The Devicemanager shows: Arduino Mega 2560 (COM15).

    Also the View Terminal button is not visible.

    Old versions can be found here: http://firmware.diydrones.com/Tools/APMPlanner/ That error means that the com port you are trying to connect to does not exist. When you go to the com port settings (by clicking on the port name or baud rate) the drop down box for the port name should automatically populate with available com port names. If you manually type in a name that does not exist, or attempt to connect without first selecting a com port it will likely be unable to connect.

    Can you post your logs please? They are located at c:\users\<username>\apmplanner2\log.txt

    AP2 installer should install the drivers automatically (As long as you have not un-checked them in the installer during the install process), but it may require you to unplug, and replug the device back in for it to be detected.

    Gidday.

    I'm trying to set up a new Quad. All appears done but get an error saying [compass calibration not complete].

    This was with 2.0.12.

    Now after just updating to 2.0.13 I cannot even connect to the APM 2.6 board.

    it says

    Link Error

    Error opening port. no such file or directory.

    I've uninstalled and reinstalled APM2.0 Planner 2.0.13 a couple of times. I've dried to find 2.0.12 again on the net as It only happened after installing 2.0.13.

    Also my other PC also wont connect. It may be missing the drivers. I've tried downloading and updating the drivers MANY times, but it wont work.

    The first PC is windows 7. The other which has not worked at all is Winsdows 8

    Not having much luck with the software here.

    Any advice I can try.

    Cheers

    Ok, We fixed parameter changes and compass calibration (for one compass) works. builds available now

  • nickthecook July 14, 2014 at 8:06am

    Thank you for the Trusty Tahr package!

  • Montana Harkin July 13, 2014 at 11:35pm

    Anyone having compass calibration issues?
