Over the past couple of weeks I have been busy reworking my original APM Mission Planner. Together with my partner/designer Samantha Nelson we have focused on improving the APM Planner’s interface, ideally resulting in a more intuitive user experience.   

Below are a couple screenshots of the new APM Planner!

    Dear Michael Oborne,
    Hope in the future APM Planner where you can directly use the extra axis joystick or slider to control the flight mode, and flying manual 'M', auto 'A', return 'R', augmentation'S' and other actions by keyboard direct control or programmable shortcut keys to control the joystick
    Appreciate and thank you

    I was very pleased to see that  the most part of my suggestions is done in the new version of APM Planner.

    Thank you, Michael!

    Darren, i will have a look and fix tonight. just one thing, are in in ardupilotmode or arducopter mode? as these will be diffrent.

    Im having an issue in APM Planner the takeoff pitch paramater isnt defined and zeros the field. HK planner is able to set the pitch, and it shows on the next read in apm planner, although any change and it zero's it again.

    Mees, this is done. make sure you pick arducopter before you connect. and all the modes wil be correct. version 1.0.7 is out also.

    Perhaps it has been mentioned allready. But could it be possible to display the current flying mode?

    This for the arducopter: stable; loiter, auto,.....

     

    thx and great work

    Johann,

     

    With auto take off and landing, i would have a look at the wiki, as there is much more information there than what i could give. http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/AutoLand

     

    As for antenna tracking, ill put it on my todo list, and as far as i know easycap devices should work just fine. i dont own one so cant say 100%

    as for your custom code, you will always require arduino for that.

     

    Michael
