APM 2.8 hardware is more than 10 years old.
The newest software available for that board IS ArduCopter 3.2.1.
To operate it you need to install and use a mission Planner version from the year 2015.
Is it possible to run the latest Mission Planner (and the recommended or latest .NET, and DirectX) on Windows 7 Pro? Have worked fine until I updated MP. It crashes on startup, white windows, no error message. Where can I find a log? Old laptop yes, but its slim and practical (Samsung 900X) than the newer ones. I have tried several versions between the old one and the latest, no one works.

Hi guys, i am building my ground station, today only use OSD Pro + LCD 10 inch, in future will use 2 lcds, each one with 10 inch, one will be in horizontal (Video feed from airplane) and another one will be tablet using windows 8 with Mission Planner, i want use this in vertical instead horizontal
Eosbandi am using windows as my host operating system
My VMware is hosting linux Ubuntu 18.04 on the windows machine
I am trying to run everything on Ubuntu linux
I was trying to run mission planner solo but then it still cant connect as it has an error as seen below

I believe I fixed it. I roughly followed another post on here and installed QGC in addition to mission planner. I installed firmware using QGC (though I am not sure that was necessary) and then went back to Mission Planner. That did the trick. However, for some reason in Windows 11 the device manager still shows only a single port. Mission Planner however, shows the MAVlink port (listed under a different name) and SLscan port.
I will give the re-install a try, maybe on my older windows PC and see how it goes. For now, I get the first screen, but not the second. I am also going to look into Windows 10 Security settings for apps, I will follow up with results.
It is not possible to directly design and fly a polygonal mission with the Android app at the moment. However, a workaround would be to fly several smaller rectangular missions, to adjust them according some reference points on the map background, and to process all the images together in Pix4Dmapper. This is facilitated since the grid missions are displayed and so can be adjusted on the same map background.
Resuming a mission is currently an option only in the Android version of Pix4Dcapture. In Android when a mission is interrupted because of low battery or bad flying conditions, the incomplete portion is saved so that it can be flown later (e.g. after changing the battery).
Mission resume is not supported yet by iOS version of the app, but it is in our pipeline and our developers are working on it. However, we are not able to give a precise time frame for the introduction of mission resume in iOS version at the moment.
Polygon missions are very very important, rectangular or square properties rarely exist compared to all others. This limitation results in lost flight time, processing time and excessive configuration to eliminate the cameras. Drone Deploy allows this to be done in their application so I am really curious why Pix4D has not been able to? Non-polygon missions have been the app killer for me for this reason and I hope it changes because I favor the Pix4D app but go to Drone Deploy for mission planning for this reason. I would much rather have one app for photogrammetry than two installed on my phone.
Devin it is possible to import .kml/.kmz file into the Android version of the app. This way you can e.g. export an area from Google Earth and import it to our app later. You can also draw and import polygons that represent e.g. boundaries of your mission (not used as flight lines).
I would also like to see a spiral flight path for linear asset modelling. I would like to highlight a corridor to be photographed and then the app creates an overlapping spiral flight path running up the corridor, we are starting to look into extended and beyond visual line of sight applications and this would enable us to capture excellent data. mostly we are performing tower inspections along a path and the towers dont come out too well with just a criss cross flight path, I tend to need several orbits of each tower and it is currently not possible to do this in anything other than ardupilot mission planner.
Count me in for desktop planning and being able to upload to iOS device. I have projects that are irregular shaped requiring multiple flights, and it would save lots of time to be able to plan before heading out into the field. Its too clunky to do it on the tablet and its not easy to line up flights next to each other and get the right amount of overlap. Even multiple battery missions on iOS would be beneficial, but desktop planning is the way to go.
We definitely need a way to be able to plan on desktop, ideally being able to import KML files too. It seems strange that only Android can import KML but only iOS can fly polygon missions. Dronedeploy is a much easier planning app to use, you need to catch up with them.
It is free for planning purposes (it makes you start a trial, but this is only for processing), allows you to plan on the computer or tablet, allows for KML and SHP import for boundaries, has terrain awareness, has more 3D mission plan options, has gimbal angle control, and I really like the UI.
The initial version was released in 1994 and used almost exclusively by U.S. Air Force F-16 pilots. The user base quickly expanded to include a large portion of the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Special Operations Force, Air National Guard, and U.S Navy mission planning community. FalconView is used as part of PFPS, JMPS and XPlan by their associated airlift, bomber, and tanker communities on a multitude of rotary and fixed wing aircraft. FalconView is also used internationally in special versions approved for export.
FalconView is a multi-platform mapping and mission planning application developed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute for the United States Department of Defense. With a 30-year history of active development, the software has become a de facto standard within the U.S. DoD as well as various Federal Agencies and Allied Nations.
FalconView displays a wide variety of maps and geographically referenced overlays. The primary map types that FalconView supports include aeronautical charts, satellite imagery, and elevation maps. FalconView also supports a large number of overlay types that can be displayed and printed over any map background. The current overlay set is oriented toward mission planning and is primarily used by aviators and aviation support personnel. Most of the source data for maps and overlays displayed by FalconView is provided by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). These include CADRG, ECRG, CIB, DTED, DAFIF and TFADS-O.
The Joint Mission Planning System (JMPS) Windows-based (32 and 64 bit) multi-tiered mission planning architecture comprises the JMPS Framework (FW) capabilities and the Mission Planning Data Service Layer (MPDSL) services. The JMPS FW provides the underlying support and services that are common to all Mission Planning scenarios (e.g., event handling, printing, data access, error handling, session management, preferences, general math, geometric calculations, conversions and mapping services) as well as most basic mission data display and processing capabilities integrated with the latest FalconView Map plugins. The MPDSL is an extensible mission planning service capability that includes mission planning services and administration capabilities for the purpose of supporting Air Force and Navy platforms. The MPDSL includes an infrastructure for services and service development. JMPS is acquired by the Airspace Mission Planning Division (AFLCMC/HBM), at Hanscom AFB. Air Combat Command (ACC) and Air Mobility Command (AMC) are the primary MAJCOM sponsors. Users are Combat Air Force (CAF) and Mobility Air Force (MAF) platforms with Foreign Military Sales (FMS) partners as well as Navy Unit Level mission planners using legacy FW 1.5.
The Portable Flight Planning Software (PFPS) is an integrated suite of Windows mission planning applications using a common graphical user interface. It displays standard digital maps and produces user-customizable kneeboard cards, combat mission folders, and data transfers to compatible digital transfer devices. The PFPS software uses an implementation of the client-server data model to provide a shared view of the mission route to software components. The PFPS Route Server synchronizes the different PFPS components so that changes made to the route by one PFPS application are passed to all other components. This allows the operator to perform multiple operations on the same routes without reentering data.
I tried to understand the "logic" (or lack of) of this phenomenon. It seems to depend on the way the flight plan is loaded. For example, if I use Simbrief or Aivlasoft EFB to make the flight plan, almost certainly my GPS loading will be affected somehow, for example looking at the FPL page, few or no information will be there, however my magenta line will appear with all waypoints. If I use the MSFS flight planner, it will show completely both the magenta and the FPL page with all waypoints.
PIX4Dcapture Pro has specialized flight plans for data collection for specific assets including cell towers and transmission towers, in addition to grid layouts for wider land surveys, orbit and cylinder missions.
With PIX4Dcapture Pro you can effortlessly duplicate and delete both plans and missions, as well as create new plans and add missions. Our app streamlines project management so you can efficiently manage your flights and elevate your drone operations.
