Updated version of ArduPilotMega beta code

Posted by Chris Anderson on November 20, 2010 at 9:00am
As we do every week, I've rolled the latest bug fixes into the current public zip file version of the ArduPilotMega code. It's a good idea to download a fresh version if you haven't used the code for a week or so.

These are just bug fixes. The new features and enhancements are happening in the developer trunk of the SVN repository and should not be used, as they're often untested. They'll be release with the next public version of the code, 1.0 (non beta).

If you've had trouble getting your CLI to work, try downloading the code again, as we've fixed that bug. It's best to delete all your APM files INCLUDING THE LIBRARIES, and load them fresh from the zip file.

A few other updates:

  • APM boards will be back in stock at Sparkfun on Monday
  • More magnetometer boards will be in stock at the DIY Drones store early next week.
  • ArduCopter kits started shipping on Friday, and the first 50 are already out the door. If you pre-ordered one, it will probably be shipped in the next few days.
  • We've got tons of new products coming! You're going to be amazed ;-)

    4 coders and two adaptors for Ardu projects it total so please bear in mind the workload isn't exactly small. They love what they are doing and are always working hard.

    May I make a request to have the CLI updated with information (it still says its 1.0.3) Just to keep worry down a bit.

    It was promised to release beta code for ARDUCOPTER this week, but...
    We are waiting very much.

    Irvin, GCS_DEBUGTERMINAL is in the development trunk, but I don't think we've had it in the beta. It will be included in the 1.0 release.

    Chris,

    Again, thanks for all the good work.

    Didn't last weeks ArduPilotMega Beta1 release include new files like GCS_DEBUGTERMINAL?
    It's not in today's release.
