BetaPilot (BetaCopter/BetaPlane) fork of ArduPilot

BetaPilot 4.0

This is the BetaPilot (inlcuding BetaCopter, BetaPlane) fork of the ArduPilot project.

I use it for developing new features, mainly related to the STorM32 gimbal controller project.

Usage and Release Notes

Please see http://www.olliw.eu/storm32bgc-wiki/Using_STorM32_with_BetaPilot for information on the usage and features of BetaPilot (BetaCopter/BetaPlane).

Build, Compile Notes

In order to build BetaPilot 4.0 (BetaCopter/BetaPlane), do this:

• Follow the instructions in the ArduPilot wiki for installing the build environment.
• Clone this fork and checkout the desired BetaPilot (BetaCopter/BetaPlane) branch.
• Ensure that all git submodules are there. Run git submodule update --init --recursive.
• Copy the three files ardupilotmega.xml, common.xml, and storm32_4ap.xml from the \mavlink_withmostbasicadditions folder to the ardupilot\modules\mavlink\message_definitions\v1.0 folder. This will overwrite files existing there. (This step is crucuial since ArduPilot does not support the latest MAVLink standard, which STorM32 needs).
• Compile for your board follow the instructions in the ArduPilot wiki for compiling.
