I just managed to get APM Planner RC2 running on my Raspberry Pi. I have not tested connecting to an APM yet but clicking around in the interface is much more responsive than i ever thought it would be.
Here are a brief instruction:
- Raspberry Pi with 32 GB SD card loaded with Raspian
- Added a 4 GB swap per the instructions here: http://jermsmit.com/my-raspberry-pi-needs-a-swap/ (the compilation will run out of memory otherwise)
Install the required packages:
sudo apt-get install phonon libqt4-dev \ libphonon-dev libphonon4 phonon-backend-gstreamer \ qtcreator libsdl1.2-dev libflite1 flite1-dev build-essential \ libopenscenegraph-dev libssl-dev
Clone the repository in your workspace:
cd ~/workspace git clone https://github.com/diydrones/apm_planner
Build APM Planner:
cd ~/workspace/apm_planner qmake-qt4 qgroundcontrol.pro
make
Run APM Planner:
./release/apmplanner2

Hi..congratulations....for installation in Beaglebone black the same similar procedure installation it's ok or need to diferent package?? I read Beaglebone offer hdmi output and arm7 processor....ubuntu works in videos I see in youtube...any of users here tried the Beaglebone black board??
Regards
So cool, neighbor! :)
I need to try this right away :)
Interesting
But then you're usually running this on a 800x600 downsize resolution from the HDMI 1920x1080. How workable is it in the field? I think the best bet is really to figure out what features we'd need in a non Laptop based groundstation for APM and build those around a non X11 based UI rendered on a 3.2" touch screen. Think a more capable version of Ardustation.
Start time from pressing enter to the interface shows up is just over 25 seconds. If the application is running at same speed when connected, i would say that it is a working solution.
