3689421770?profile=originalWe've released new versions of the APM and Mission Planner, which mostly correct some minor bugs but add a few new features (see change logs below).

 

The Mission Planner will automatically load the new APM 2.23 code when you click on the plane icon on the firmware tab. The APM 2.23 source code is also in the download section if you want to play with it.

 

Note: The new version of APM changes the EEPROM data structure, so you MUST do a MAVLink reset and setup again after loading it. That's always a good idea after loading new code, but in this case it's required.

APM 2.23:

Mission Planner 1.0.57:

  • Speed up board detection 
  • fix map draw issues
  • fix home alt issue (corrects a meters/feet conversion bug)
  • new firmware connection check (for new users: if you press the Connect button before you've loaded any firmware, it will prompt you to load the firmware first)
  • prep for opengl

  • Outstanding! Just loaded the 2.23 APM code via mission planner and went through the whole setup process via MP and had the best flight performance so far. I tweaked the PID's a little and tried out the "fly to here" function in MP, worked great and excellent navigation and flight repeatability. Only issues noted were during setup, when configuring modes the MP response never appeared to complete "saving" and never prompted to "go to next screen" but it worked fine anyway. Didn't try any of the new functionality, but this is much more stable than pre 2.22.
