ardutacker is meant for the old 328 boards, not 1280 boards

Ohhhh, that a pitty.

Would this be eventually possible if someone wrote the code for this or adapt the old software to the 1280?

it would be easy to do, as all the leg works has been done using just apm drivers

Michael,

Another question for your but not on the tracker. 

I noticed that there is many other item/features in the menu along with the tracker. Can we get some directions on what they are for and how to utilize them. I'm sorry to ask this if it is in the wiki but i have not been able to find it.

Thanks for all your help and support.

Joe

I Finaly got my tracker going
i will create a better setup guide for those who use a maestro.

 

now as for the control-f screen.

all the stuff at the top is for copying APM's

mag calib is as the name suggests, its the same thing as in the hardware setup screen.

geo ref images is for matching a log to images taken with a camera.

lang edit is for converting parts of the planner to other languages

antenna track - you know

follow me is for connecting a nmea gps to the pc with a xbee and having the quad/plane follow you as you move.

the bottom 2 buttons are for those who wanted to use there own georefrence photos obtained from an external source.

hi, Micheal. I built my antenna tracker with a 360 degree pan servo and a slip-ring unit which can do continous rotation. It can do 360 degree rotation, but it has to return back to the position of 1 degree. So with Mission Planner and ardutracker software, how can I get it to relaize continous rotation without back to any position less than 180 degree? And, I would like to enjoy with you how to make the antenna tracker as below, even post freely some materials you need.
