I really don't want to setup to do a build of "next". I am not a software developer and have not done this before. I probably can do it but a lot of time that I could be flying. I do want to get aux mag working so I can use all the GPS modes. How/where do I find out the schedule for the 16.01 release?
Also is there someplace I can find a compiled version of next? If so many are compiling for their own use why couldn't it be shared or why can't a compiled version be put on the web site as a "prerelease or Beta".
Build 2 quads but just a beginner. Great forum, helped me solve a couple issues already.

It's not that developers know the date but don't want to tell.
They really don't know it. As long as there are unfinished jiras targeted for the release this won't happen.
You can follow daily commits on bitbucket and as long as there are unfinished tasks in jira with REL-16.04 tag release won't happen.
Making a release takes a lot of effort to prepare it, so either they do minor tasks and frequent releases with not much work done, or they do releases when stuff is ready but less frequently and focus on actual work.
If you don't want to wait, you can always build code yourself, it's pretty easy. Probably there are multiple threads on forum how to do that, and you can check Wiki.

I should add that this project gathers enthusiasts working on everything in their spare time, that means they don't get their salary for this, it's completely voluntarily. You can also become volunteer and contribute by providing pre-build binaries for others ;)

Hi Roy,
may be this needs a bit more explanation: the current next ist development code. It could easily contain bugs which in the worst case could damage your quad or cause a fly away. Therefore we have a flight test team, who test the next code in order to find such bugs. As soon as it looks reasonable stable, it will go to release-candidate, when more flight testers will test against any bugs. Only after that procedure the new code can be considered stable, and only then it makes sense to create publicly availabe binary packages.
We cannot give any release dates, because everyone here works on the project in his spare time, so it all depends on many circumstances. Just an example, I as a flight tester currently am grounded, because it is raining and even snowing here, so I make only very slow progress in testing the new code.
-
Roy, what OS do you run on your computer?
-
Windows 10. Pretty powerful computer, used it for online games.
I have enough problems to solve with our quads and am hesitant to take on the learning curve of building code from source. I am sure I can do it but I bet I spend a lot if time on this forum getting it to work!🐵
-
THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES. REALLY HELPS GET ME UP TO SPEED ON WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE NEW RELEASE etc.

Actually it's not as hard as you probably think. The wiki has step by step instructions at https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Windows+Building+and+Packaging (https://librepilot.atlassian.net/wiki/display/LPDOC/Windows+Building+and+Packaging) that lead you through the build process.

Thank you for this! I'm excited for the final release, but to see what's in the works is amazing to say the least. Did find one issue with the neutral values in the remote control input tab, but not a deal breaker for what I was using it for. But again, thank you for sharing this!

What issue did you find with the neutral values?
-
When using an accessory switch for the always stabilize when armed it didn't matter where the neutral values were if anywhere, for example if you split the bar into 1/3 sections and the neutral values was somewhere in the middle...the setting would stay either on or off depending on its last position. I was playing around with it first with a potentiometer and then toggled with a 3 position switch and it was the same. Hope that makes sense.

Any chance you have a later version compiled? Been using the one you gave me a link to and it works great, I have both a NAZA mag and the version with the 2 extra wires/second cable for mag. Thanks, just thought there may be some new features/bug fixes in a later version.

I would like to contribute(I'm a C++ and VB developer for 3D games and simulators), but slowly. I do have a lot on my plate already but now that I have found a surface mounter (with a heart for quality and is paying attention to all of our concerns about major issues ie barometers and oplink telemetry stability) in China to build the actual librepilot clones for me to sell on Ebay; I feel obliged to get more involved on the software side of things where my specialty is. Is the code C or C++?
One last thing, has anyone experienced what I mentioned in my other thread about a 2 second engine off lag causing the drone to interrupt fail safe when the controller reconnects after a disconnect?
I want a clue as to weather this is a software or hardware issue.

I'm stuck at the installation of Msys2. Check the attached screenshot.

Never mind I solved it. White spaces not allowed in the name of the software (the default name had a whitespace)

Ok I'm stuck again at this part:

dispite the errors above I continued up to this point:
git clone https://bitbucket.org/librepilot/librepilot.git
And got this:

Got it, flys fine. The new Oplink set up is a surprise. Not sure why it's changed mainly because it didn't want to take the time to look at it in depth but will later.
Thought this version might have the PFD back in and the GPS satellites on the globe. No big deal.
Thanks for helping with this.

Switching to next you need to reset the config.
File > GCS Config Import/Export > Reset Config (and restart)
-
I have compiled next but lets say I want to incorporate any fixes or whatnot. What commands would I need to run to get the latest?
-
git pull
should update the sources
