I have not yet tested with the ArduPilot itself so read/write may not work.Config Tool DownloadIf your map on the right is blank or you see a series of odd buttons where the map should be, you'll need to look into issues with your Internet Explorer and Google Maps. See here for instructions: Google Maps TroubleshootingPlease also check out this blog post GPS Emulator for info on how to use the GPS Emulator that is now included with the ConfigTool.zipParis.gif

    If you have IE6 and are attempting to use this too then upgrade your browser. You are two versions behind and it's free for freaks sake!

    Walt, you should be able to visit this link

    And open a map of Chicago and click around and have waypoints and distances appear.... If it doesn't it's not compatible.

    I've already added this, but I haven't completed the "OFFLINE" mode.... so if I posted an update, it wouldn't really be done.

    I support the movement to ban IE6 (because it's holding back the whole web!), so I would recommend we do nothing about this incompatibility.

    I guess the html sample got stripped off the previous post. The problem seems to be that the xml namespace in the html tag is not supported in IE6

    J have a question about the config utility. I was having a problem running the config utility on machines that are running IE6. I found that this doesn't work on IE6 but does work on IE7




    If I replace this with all seems to be working on IE6. The questions is what are the implications of changing this.

    Thanks,
    Walt

    4800 is indeed default for SirfIII Garmins, EB85 often come prepacked as 38400, early RVOSD has 57600, late RVOSD and my AP is 115200. As GPS baud is sometimes locked, it is difficult to switch them to another baudrate.

    Happy, this soooo good. Great work. I am in the process of videoing a guide for setting up the ArduPilot and also for the Config Tool. I learn quicker from a video than 3 manuals. (If I have a rewind button!)
    I set 4 waypoints in the front yard about 200 feet apart and have my son 'fly' the mockup test jig by holding it above his head and talking to me via radio on directions. I also can tell him to stop and hover !
    Side note, the crashes are usually from tripping over his feet. Drawback, not much altitude! I will include the ground ststion videos also.
    This my take me several trips threw to do it.
    Hope this helps everyone.

    I can add 4800 if you need it.

    You can use the emulator to send messages throught the COM port as it is right now!!! That's what it was originally made for.
