Other Mission Planner features

You can display video from your aircraft on the Mission Planner';s HUD if you are digitizing it with the same laptop (with a video capture card or USB device). Just select the device in the Configuration/Planner screen, chose video format and press "Start" to begin recording. If you select the HUD checkbox, the video display will replace the artificial horizon in the HUD.

You can also record the video that you';re displaying to an AVI file. Just right-click in the HUD and choose from the menu that will pop up.


You can send NMEA (GPS) output to the serial port. Press control-g and you will get a box asking for a comport and baud rate to output standard nmea data at 2 hz, to any serial port. One application would be to use com2com to emulate a serial port to use with third party applications.


You can have the Mission Planner load non-standard firmware (any .hex files that you';ve made or got elsewhere) to APM by pressing Control-C on the firmware loading screen.


The Mission Planner can give you audio speech alerts for events that you choose, such as hitting waypoints or low battery. Just go to Configuration - Planner - Speech - Enable Speech
