Thanks Bill!
Excellent, I have been running it on Pi2B since more than a year.
There was an issue with the OSX version crashing on startup (missing dependencies). re-download and it is now fixed see apm_planner_2.0.23-rc4_osx.dmg
At this time, what's the functional difference between Mission Planner and APM Planner? Which should I use for basic Pixhawk use?
I am looking forward to the Linux build. That last version I tried to install was apm_planner_2.0.20_ubuntu_trusty64.deb and that failed over dependencies. The older 2.0.18 still works. I did see that this was a known issue caused by moving to a newer QT version and there was a suggestion to add a PPA.
Not really a problem because I very rarely use APM Planner and am only using it with APMs. Maybe I'll try again when I move to the newer Ubuntu LTS but that will not be any time soon.
