How To: Compile MPNG 3.0.1 sources

    1. Download the ArduPilot-Arduino-1.0.3 (~95Mb) from: ArduPilot site
       Extract downloaded files into any folder, for example: c:\quadcopter
    2. Download latest MPNG source code from here. Extract downloaded MPNG sources into any folder, for example: c:\quadcopter
    3. Important! Copy and replace pde.jar file form MPNG sources folder into ‘LIB‘ subfoler of Arduino IDE (c:\Quadcopter\Arduino-ardupilot-ide\lib\)
    4. Open Arduino IDE and change target Platform to MegaPirateNG:
      Selecting MPNG Platform in IDE
    5. Open Preferences and set sketch folder to folder where you extracted MPNG sources (c:\quadcopter\ardupilot-mpng)
      ide-select-preferenceside-set-folder
    6. Change COM port assigned for your CRIUS AOIP v2 board (or any supported board):
      ide-set-COM-port
    7. Important! Restart Arduino IDE!
    8. Now you can open MPNG sketch and Compile it. That’s all.

  2. I do not see all the adjustable parameters any longer as I saw them in release 2.x.x, except the hex/quad/tri/etc. config.
    So do I understand it right that all the configuration is now done in Mission Planner?
    I am a bit confused…

  5. Sorry guys, fighting for many hours now but I still don’t get it.

    I did as stated in the How To above, although I do not understand what “Extract IDE files” means.
    The result is that I see in APM_Config.h:

    I have the impression that there is missing a lot, like the type of transmitter. type of GPS, etc.

    Sorry to bother you but I hope someone can put me on the right track.
    Thanks in advance…

    1. I have the same problem. When I run mission planner I can’t calibrate the radio and there is no place to setup the radio. Sorry I had it all working in older versions.
      Any help?

    Where do I set radio config and other params?
