Joerg,

Very comprehensive guide. Thanks!

I have a Pi3 is in the mail and I will try this next week, when it gets here.

I was wondering why you went to the trouble of designing your own LVDS expander for the Pi3. I was under the impression that the "Display" connector on the Pi was LVDS?

Have you made a current reading on your Pi3 yet? DS states up to 2.5A at 5V, but I was hoping to get away with a 1.5A recom...

Wow you have been busy! Very nice Joerg! I like all the screen shots- will make it so much easier!

A couple thoughts for the wiki:
-after running raspi-config if I make changes it prompts me to reboot so I don't have to go to terminal
-I know I am a minority Linux user but for me to create my Jessie image on an sd card I use the "Disks" utility (so all gui). I "format" (quick or slow), "restore disk image"(write Jessie), and can also make a backup with "create disk image"
-maybe I missed it but you can copy the executable from qgroundcontrol_aq/bin to the desktop
-the alternative for udev rules is terminal "sudo su" then "cd /qgroundcontrol_aq/bin" and "./qgroundcontrol_aq" to run as super user AFAIK

A couple ideas on development:
-setup a service or bash script to start qgc. Possibly even avoiding the overhead of the desktop gui by raspi-config boot to cammnd line
-bash script to start the bluetooth by itself or included with the above script

Awesome job!

I don't have any scripts atm but I would post if/when I do... I play with Linux and figure things out with lots of googling but barely have the knowledge and abilty as the rest of you! At the moment, have some time, but life is about to get very busy for me. The least I can do is post a screenshot of Linux Disks utility if thats helpful! Sorry if I am muddying the waters with suggestions. Thanks again for your efforts!
