SITL with Mission Planner

ArduCopter Copter Simulation
1

I’ve been playing around with SITL in an Ubuntu computer, and I’d like to use it with Mission Planner on a Windows pc (SITL on linux, MP on Windows).

Following the instructions here: http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/using-sitl-for-ardupilot-testing/#connecting_to_mission_planner_tcp
I’ve been able to connect properly, but mission planner just waits for heartbeats until it times out saying “Only 1 Heartbeat Received”.

On the linux terminal I only see:

$ ./ArduCopter.elf --model quad
Starting sketch 'ArduCopter'
Starting SITL input
bind port 5760 for 0
Serial port 0 on TCP port 5760
Waiting for connection ....
bind port 5762 for 2
Serial port 2 on TCP port 5762
bind port 5763 for 3
Serial port 3 on TCP port 5763

And nothing else happens.

Has anyone successfully worked with SITL & Mission Planner?

I’m using the latest code in branch Copter-3.3

Thanks
