HK GCS now with mission planning and set.txt file support for AttoPilot

Posted by Paul Mather on January 16, 2011 at 5:00pm
HK GCS v1.2.0 now has 2-way communication with AttoPilot. Drag n drop with Google Earth. Real time uploading and downloading. Full Set.txt file support (not really a text file anymore)... now all parameters can be edited and uploaded during your flight!

    Actually EEPROM mission read/write but for AP not APM :) I'm still using AP v2.7.1 which is working well for me but having some issues with the ConfigTool used to write waypoints, was hoping that this tool of yours may solve that...

    Read write for APM? It's not currently supported with MAVlink (which is supposed to be the "official" protocol of APM). I'm not sure how the config tool for APM is doing it currently, but it might be an EEPROM read/write which wouldn't work mid-flight.

    Read/write missions any time soon or is that low on the priority list?

    Cool... I'm glad you posted the screenshot. I thought you were clicking on the up/down arrows...and I had AttoPilot selected as my device instead of Generic... so that's what I was missing.

    Yes it does, (even clicking in the 'forbidden' spot LOL), good job!! I use meters and that seems 100% too.

    (Funny, I noticed now I can move any GE label too, even my own suburb...)

    Ok, 1.2.17 is up there. I think it fixes your issues.

    APM read/write is not ready yet. I'm actually trying to get MAVlink to work right now on APM....without success.

    BTW how do we write the waypoints to AP or APM, I don't see a read/write button?

    OK won't click there 3692133250?profile=original


    In case it's my side, can you move a waypoint on the map and see the co-ords change in the highlighted blue area? Or change the co-ords or altitude below the "Double-Click to add new waypoint" and see the change in the highlighted blue area?
