[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by billbonney on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
if you CTRL-CLICK and then select OPEN it should open. The only error message should be 'unidentified developer' as it's not a 'signed package'
https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-a-mac-app-from-an-unidentified-developer-mh40616/mac
if that's not the case, can you post a screen grab of the error message. It is working for me and I tested on a clean machine.

I am already doing that , i am aware of CTRL-CLICK functionality but i am still getting below error.
I have attached all the relevant SS while installing APM planner.

You don’t need the FTDI serial port driver anymore. It’s built into macOS.
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by DroneRookie on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
Thanks for your reply.
I didn't exclusively download FTDI serial-orr drivers, its included in the APM installer.
Can you please tell me how do i go about it then?
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by billbonney on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
Just drag ‘APM Planner 2.0’ to the Applications folder on your machine and Open it
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by DroneRookie on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
Thanks Billbonney,
I could install APM now ( one step done:))
But now when i plugin my ARDUPOLIT to the laptop and try to install firmware i am getting below error "No valid device found.Chk to be sure your APM2.5+ or PIXHAWK/PX4 is plugged in and drivers installed"

[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by mboland on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
I had similar issues some time ago (years) and did an uninstall and haven’t had issues since.
From the FTDI website you can find their driver manuals which are helpful:
4.2 Uninstalling FTDI VCP Drivers on OS X 10.9 onwards
To remove the drivers from Mac OS X 10.9 onwards, the user must be logged on as root. Root is a reserved username that has the privileges required to access all files.
Start a Terminal session (Go > Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and enter the following commands at the command prompt:
cd /Library/Extensions
rm -r FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext
then reboot
To temporarily operate as the root user you can use sudo at the beginning of the command e.g.
cd /Library/Extensions
sudo rm -r FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext
then reboot
The driver will then be removed from the system.
4.3 Uninstalling D2XX Drivers
To uninstall the D2XX driver, simply delete the library and the symbolic link: Start a Terminal session (Go > Applications > Utilities > Terminal)
Change directory to the /usr/local/lib (cd /usr/local/lib)
Delete the library (rm libftd2xx.1.2.2.dylib)
Delete the symbolic link (rm libftd2xx.dylib)
If you have installed D2xxHelper (required for OS X 10.11 onwards), it also must be removed:
sudo rm –r /Library/Extensions/D2xxHelper.kext
Complete the uninstallation by rebooting.
Hope this helps.

Hello Mboland,
Thanks for your reply.
I have uninstalled above drivers as you had said but still no luck. I am still getting error "No valid device found"
Do i need to install the drivers back from their website or as Billbonney said, new version has these drivers inbuilt.
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by mboland on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
Install the NEW version from their website.
Also don’t rely on the USB cables you are using.

From your screenshots it’s working.. Docs here https://ardupilot.org/planner2/index.html
(Just ignore any instructions to install serial port drivers for FTDI etc..)

This has been too long and I am not able to test the fix. Since there are no new reports/unhappy users let's close it. Thanks!

[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by DroneRookie on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
Guys, one more step done, one more step conquered.
Now i am able to connect to APM planner and its able to find port as well.
I tried to install firmware for quadcopter, it got completed saying "APM flashing complete".
Unfortunately that's as far as i could go. Nothing happens after that.
Am I missing anything after that , do i need to do anything else to start my configuration.
I clicked on connect and screen is shown connected but there is no movement on the left side panel.

Hello Experts,
Can any one help me with this ? I am new to drone world so excuse me for silly question.
I am getting an error message when i am trying to configure APM planner "PreArm: Compass not healthy " and don’t know how to fix it and its not letting me complete the configurations.
Also, i could configure RC in the APM planner and see that RC is connected to drone but its not making arming the motors( which was happening earlier, before i configured RC)
Any help will be highly appreciated.
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by Arne-W on issue #1211: ./release/apmplanner2: No such file or directory
Sorry but this question is somewhat unspecific - there could be 1000 reasons for that.
Try to tell what you did and what happened. Were there any problems during compiling or while configuring??
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by Arne-W on issue #1213: APM Planner not working on MAC OS Catalina 10.15.3
Please use the support forum - and update to the new version 2.0.28-rc1.
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by Arne-W on issue #1214: Not able to view the Models and Menu after opening Initial setup (PX4 Connected)
Please stop spamming
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by Arne-W on issue #1212: Ardupolit not working with mac
You should use the support forum... however in your home directory the should be a folder named apmplanner2. Within that folder you should find logfiles. Take a look - perhaps they can help to find out whats going wrong.
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by Arne-W on issue #1216: Error message prearm: compass not healthy
I think you will have to calibrate the compass.
Please go to the support forum there you will find a lot of informations regarding your problems.
This is only for software problems related to apmplanner itself.
Thank you
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by DroneRookie on issue #1216: Error message prearm: compass not healthy
Thanks for your Arne-W.
I have tried to calibrate compass numerous times but i keep on getting error that "not enough data point" and calibration not complete.I have moved APM in all directions in order to get enough data points but i keep getting the same message.
Anyways thx for your replay
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by Arne-W on issue #1216: Error message prearm: compass not healthy
Here you can find some hints: url|[https://youtu.be/DmsueBS0J3E](https://youtu.be/DmsueBS0J3E)
And stay away from magnetic things or metal when doing calibration.
[ArduPilot/apm_planner] New comment by Eric97 on issue #1215: Undefined reference errors in libQt5Quick.so, libQt5Qml.so
Thanks.
qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin is installed. I tried a fresh build on a clean Ubuntu 18.04, then compiles without problems. Guess there is a conflict with my other Qt dependent packages.

Hallo,
On "howto config pid" written like:
• set Ch6 Opt = CH6_RATE_KP....Min=0,1 ... Max=0,2
• use Ch6 poti and look changes on "Extended Tuning" after <Refresh Params>
but RAT_RLL_P already 0.1
it seems ExtendedTuning/Refresh reads values from the cache only. (see below)
version: v20.27_rc1
workaround: Full Parameter List: <Refresh>
then switch back to "Extended Tuning"
poss. solution: add: usecache=ignore if ch6opt!=none
regards Andre
