Mission Planner upgrade -- get it for latest firmware

Posted by Chris Anderson on September 16, 2011 at 3:30am

3689424737?profile=originalDue to the recent shift from a Subversion to a Git repository, you'll need to use the latest versions of the Mission Planner to ensure that you'll be able to get the latest ArduPlane and ArduCopter firmware. Versions from 1.0.67 up will pull from the correct Git repository. 

 

Google Code has currently got a file download glitch, which they're working on. So in the meantime, I've put the latest version of the Mission Planner (1.0.68) in a public DropBox folder here.

UPDATE: The regular Google Code repository is now working again.

 

Once Google has got the download issue fixed, the Mission Planner will be available in the download section as usual.

    Once we come out of beta (maybe in the next week), the version revisions will slow down and you'll see more backwards compatibility. Right now the best advice is to use the latest version of everything. 

     

    Aside from that one-time changeover from Svn to Git at MP 1.0.66 a few weeks ago, this should be relatively automatic. I don't think it will be a big issue going forward.

    Does MP show in any place minimum/recommended ACM/APM version required? A warning could be shown in case minimum requirements are not met.

    Does MP show in any place the firmware running in the copter/plane connected?

    If not, maybe it could be useful to add this information. People are mixing ACM and MP versions and it's driving them crazy.

     

    Michael, I don't know how you are able to keep the pace of acm developer's with all the changes in the last days :)

    Great job!

    i would go back to the older planner version if you are still running .42.
    v43 need planner .69+.

    Jeff what firmware do you have on the APM? .42? .43 changes the mode numbers

    it's been long (more than one week) , I have not update MP.. still version 1.0.66. today I can't upgrade using MP, it still says 1.0.66 after 10 attempts. what should I do?

    I had to use different PCs as was having difficulties with frame rates. The Sim PC is already a bit overloaded :-(

     

    But even on same PC has problem of data not going both ways. Will ask Michael about this.

    Yikes. Different PCs for APM and X-Plane! I've got no idea how that works--I've never tried that (maybe ask Michael Oborne). Why not use the same PC?

    In version 1.0.68  in the Simulation screen under there "Advanced IP Settings" there is now the option (might have been in previous as well) to "Enter Sim PC port" and also "Enter Planner PC Port".

    Now in the wiki manual - How to set up a full hardware-in-the-loop simulation with Xplane - there are instructions on for setting only one port in X-Plane (which if have thing right is the data out from Simulator to APM MP) which would correspond to the Planner PC Port.  Where do I set/ or find the port for the Sim PC?

     

    BTW I am using different PCs one for APM and one for X-Plane. Maybe I have gotten things wrong somewhere.

    Roger: I'm not sure I understand the question. The instructions in the manual should be correct. Could you elaborate?
