QGroundControl

Roadmap

This project roadmap is a list of features that will be implemented over the next days, months and years. With an active developer community spanned around the globe there are new features each week.

Q4 2010

Changes planned until the end of the year

Vehicle Support

Full support for SLUGS and other non-pixhawk vehicles (SLUGS)
Full support for PIXHAWK fixed-wing aircraft (PX)

Display / UI

Improvements in the parameter interface to make it more robust towards communication losses (PX)
New data plotting view, rendering Matlab as plotting tool unnecessary (PX)
- Will be able to plot and zoom into logs (done in linechart with “Start Logging” button)
- Will be able to plot and zoom into SD-Card logs done with pxIMU
Improvements and waypoint view in 2D moving map (SLUGS)
Support for KML logfile export to Google Earth
Interactive mission planning by creating waypoint paths via clicking directly in the map
Adding a preferences dialog to allow for user configuration of the GUI
Capability to interact with Simulink as a Hardware-in-the-loop simulation engine for SLUGS

Comm / Protocol

MAVLink will gain support for (PX)
- bitfields (e.g. a 4bit variable for 16 states)
- Scaled integers (e.g. heading in floating point transported as 16bit integer), whith automatic conversion during transport. Numbers will look like natural floating point on the interface
New MAVLink default message set with community inputs (see the Google Docs document for details) (SLUGS, PX, community)

General

Improve runtime-performance
Support for persistent application window position / user look and feel preferences
