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...

Installing/Configuring QT5

- Your project is now fully configured. Click the green PLAY button to start the compilation process. -j4 option will bump your CPU load to 100% (all 4 cores active), build should be completed after roughly 15min
-
- Click on DETAILS and add '-j4' as option for the new make step.
NOTE: Each compilation unit (source to object) is single threaded, but "make" includes a powerful multi-threading system. All you need to do
is tell it how many concurrent jobs to allow using the -j parameter.
One job per core is reasonable - hence -j4
-
- Click APPLY and OK to finish this
-
-
-
-
- Click the BROWSE button
-
-
- In COMPILERS TAB click ADD and select GCC from the menu
-
-
- Click on MANAGE KITS
-
- Change build configuration to RELEASE
-
- Click PROJECTS
-
- Click on CONFIGURE PROJECT
-
-
- Open the qgroundcontrol_aq project file
-
- Open Qt creator

- Your BT module is configured now. You need to assign it to a COM channel next
-
- Click the KEY symbol to create a pairing with the device. It will (usally) ask for a pairing key (i.e. 0000 or 1234).
Input the propper PIN and click Ok
Click on the yellow star symbol to THRUST this device. This will lead the RPi3 to automatically reconnect to the device in case the connection got interrupted.
-
- Click on SEARCH -> your module should show up in the list

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!
Luke

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!
Luke
