@LupusTheCanine the entire GUI is much faster now. I finally found the bottleneck with some help from @OmkarSarkar204 . The GUI is now instantaneous when switching between configuration steps.

Sounds like you picked the right GSoC candidate :slight_smile:

Yes, he’s be doing a good job of helping out with the AMC code.
But the reason he was chosen was the quality of his GSOC proposal.

v4.0.0

Changes since previous release (v3.0.5):

Added 11 new ArduCopter configuration steps:

  • New OSD configuration step
  • New PID notch filter for frame resonance configuration steps
  • New DFF configuration step
  • Separated long ESC configuration step into 4 shorter steps

Refactored some of the existing steps for clarity and speed.
Iterating to improve the dynamic notch filters is easier than before

Please do a backup of your configuration file before updating.
AMC will automatically migrate your configuration to this new format.
