How can i build a ArduCopter.exe for MissionPlanner Simulator

Hello

I want to use custom build firmware in the Mission Planner simulator.

The mission planner simulator uses the firmware as an exe file, and I am looking for a way to create this exe file.

Thank you.

You don’t need to build the Windows executable. Follow the instructions for starting SITL under WSL.

Then connect in MP using a TCP connection on the local host port 5760.

Hello Yuri

I am also familiar with WSL and how to use SITL.

However, the mission planner simulator is the simplest way to use SITL without installing WSL or any other program.

Instead, mission planner simulator uses firmware that has been turned into an exe (download binary from online), and I’m asking about how to build and use this myself.

Thank you

Here is the rules to build the exe that Mission planner use. But as it was said before, it will be way faster and convenient to use WSL as cygwin is really slow

Could you share the link?
thank you

so copy-paste didn’t worked …

Thanks for the answer, that’s not easy. haha
