Hi Bill,
Nice work!
I would want to run this on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Would this work?
I see a link here, which when installed for my Ubuntu for complaints that libudev1 >386.
Also, I tried to compile the APMPlanner similar to done on Raspberry Pi (link), it complaints the following:
sam@ubuntu:~/APMPlanner/apm_planner$ make
/usr/bin/uic-qt4 src/apps/mavlinkgen/ui/XMLCommProtocolWidget.ui -o build-release/ui/ui_XMLCommProtocolWidget.h
Could not create output file
make: *** [build-release/ui/ui_XMLCommProtocolWidget.h] Error
Any help is appreciated.
The build instructions are here https://github.com/diydrones/apm_planner and i noticed it said 4.8+ which is a bit confusing.
Installable package for ubuntu is coming soon, others will follow.
The download links for OSX and windows are in the original post
Thanks for the interest :)
hello is ther one possibility compil this for my raspberri py best regard
Hi Bill,
Had a bit of a look at the program today on my Mac. In general it works fine however there are a couple of things to fix:
1. Can't resize the HUD. Mac is running Mavericks.
2. Connection dialog is very confusing.
3. Different connections do not show in the drop down menu.
With the connection dialog for instance I had MavProxy running with the --out command and AMP planner connected perfectly however the connection box still showed "Stephen's iPhone" and it could not be changed also the connect icon in the corner still showed "Connect"
There was no ability to drop down the local UDP connection to select it and then press the connect button to connect.
On point 3 it is really hard to see what connections you have entered. I was trying to connect to a different PC and entered the IP address and port however I just saw two UDP connections under the connections menu dialog however there was no indication in the settings that one was for the local connection and one was for the new one entered. Also I could not edit the host setting.
Other than that it seems to work OK.
@Robert Palmer: You could also use tridge's excellent pymavlink package as interim solution for viewing logs. In the examples folder is a nice python log viewer and much more.
I have been using it often when MP's log viewing facility just wasn't flexible enough.
Pypi package (not sure if it is up to date): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pymavlink/1.1.14

@Robert: APM Planner 2 will create tlogs on successful connection. We will be adding tlog browsing soon.
After a bit of messing around, I got it compiled under Linux and played around with it for a while. My first impressions are that it would be usable for most situations, with the key exception being viewing log data. I would probably take my win 7 laptop for recording telemetry logs but it would be nice to be able to view that data, and the flash logs, on my Linux desktop at home which has a much larger screen.
While I could open and view the logs I wasn't able to zoom in the way I can on windows (MP v<2).
Thanks for the great feedback... The prebuilt linux version will be here soon....
