There is MTK firmware newer than 1.6? Could you please point where it is available?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

 

I went back to basics and used the files in the Arduimu 1.8.2 download and it compile OK and uploaded to the Arduimu board.

 

Everything seems to work fine except the Ardupilot board seems to be unhappy when I switch to Stabilize mode. I will have to check this out in more detail to post what actually seems to be happening.

 

Thank you for being patient with me.

 

Evan

Sorry Andrew I was probably mistaken there just talking off the top of my head, very late here and past my bedtime. Probably got mixed up with Arduimu software versions.

 

Regards,

Evan

Getting same error: 'ClassAP_GPS_MTK' has no member named 'GPS_OK', which files do I need to update?

I am using ArduImu v1.8.2

To build IMU code with this fix, I have used MTK GPS class from ArduCopter libraries (http://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libraries/AP_GPS). What version of libraries do you use?

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew, thanks for replying. I'm using the libraries that came in Arduimu.zip, but I'll go get the arducopter ones now

Got the Arducopter libraries (from http://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libraries/AP_GPS) but I'm still getting the same error? BTW I copied the arduimu.pde and output.pde changes from the 'gps_fix.patch' of yours from a few posts back.

I have downloaded the arduimu archive http://ardu-imu.googlecode.com/files/ArduIMU_1.8.2.zip

and verified that this change compiles fine. So, I am curious why it does not work in your case...

Just to verify, I use arduino-022 to build the arduimu project. What do you use?

 

Probably, this version of statement may work better:

 

if(GPS.new_data==1 && GPS::GPS_OK == GPS.status()) {

 

In any case you can try to substitute the GPS_Status enum's value directly, i.e.

GPS.status() == 2. Another idea is to refer it via AP_GPS_MTK::GPS_OK.

However, if you installed new libraries correctly, I do not see why it is not work...

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Putting this in: if(GPS.new_data==1 && GPS::GPS_OK == GPS.status()) { gives this error:

'GPS_OK' is not a member of 'GPS'

Yes using Arduino-022

Just busy downloading 1.8.2 again now...

 

Edit: The same error.

Re: the libraries, let me make sure I've got this right, I've downloaded everything from http://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libraries/AP_GPS and put them into the

"ArduIMU_1.8.2/libraries/AP_GPS" folder overwriting everything that was in there?

No, you need to install libraries into location specified in 'scetchbook location' field of arduino's preferences. In mu case it is C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\Arduino.

 

Just take a look to preference dialog (File->Preferences)

 

Here is the guide: http://code.google.com/p/ardu-imu/wiki/Code

You just need to replace the library folder from arduimu archive with

library folder cloned from ArdyCopter repository.

 

Thanks,

Andrew

Just did everything from scratch, downloaded new ArduIMU v1.8.2, unzipped it and put 'arduimu' & 'libraries' into my 'sketchbook location' (C:\My Documents\Arduino\)

Re-downloaded everything from http://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libraries/AP_GPS into C:\My Documents\Arduino\libraries\AP_GPS.

Double click 'C:\My Documents\Arduino\arduimu\arduimu.pde', change

#define GPS_PROTOCOL to 4 for Mediatek and:

if(GPS.new_data==1) {  to if(GPS.new_data==1 && GPS.GPS_OK == GPS.status()) {

Compile, still I get the error, can't understand it...

Hi Graham,

 

A peculiarity have noticed  is that when you open the Arduino sketchbook only Arduimu shows up. In my Arduino directory in C:\ documents etc. I have a number of Arduimu directories, Arduimu_1_7   etc but only the one which is plain Arduimu shows up. I needed to rename the directories so that the one I wished to use was named appropriately ie just Arduimu.

 

Hope this helps,

Evan
