A. With Arducopter firmware:
HUD orientation works fine. Responds to movement.
B. With Arduplane firmware:
1. CLI can tall to compass so I am assuming sensores still work in ArduPlane.
2. HUD does NOT respond to movement.
3. HUD still updates time.

Also, when it starts up, the mode on the HUD will just say "Initializing.." indefinitely until I manually change the mode.

Still don't know if it's a APM Planner issue or APM1/ArduPlane issue.

Thanks.

This is inside a house so no GPS lock. I've tried it with and without GPS connected, no difference.

Does it need GPS lock for gyro/compass orientation?

Thanks. It must be some other hardware problem that is only happening on ArduPlane. I've checked. I've checked the GPS in CLI test mode and it is ok. Must be some some other problem while initialising. So it seems not to the an APM Planner issue.

Thanks for the help though.

I am facing the same problem

- No HUD indication on MissionPlanner-1.1.87 with APM1 + ArduPlane-2.34

- HUD indication OK with  MissionPlanner-1.1.87 with APM1 + ArduCopter-2.5.4

Any solutions?

Thanks

Hi Peter !!! Problem Solved !!! Your suggestion was of great help !!! I can now proceed with my plans !!! I do not have Xbee or an OSD. As you suggested I flipped the switch to "fly" position (away from the edge, toward the GPS connector). I connected APM1 hardware to APM Planner the HUD indicates motion as I move the hardware !!! Thanks again !!! Mahesh M.
