"Hey guys, appologies for not posting my params been very busy with university work. i need some help though. as part of the project i need to prove i have tracking capabilities, now when i use the telemetry log it only seems to plot the copter data…"
"i am trying to write a report on this as its a uni project. is it possible for someone to help me comprehend exactly how the code does this for the AntennaTracker. i.e. what part calculates the required azimuth and elevation. how data comes in and…"
"yes I am using a pixhawk. it turns out that was an issue with the telemrty rates. i changed the SR_1 param to 3 from 10 and it woke itself up. My parameters are on my PC in the lab and will post them when i go in next. If you wish at a later date i…"
"did you solve this issue, i am having the same problem, still cant download the files btw"
"Hi so i am having a really stange issue. the pitch function on my antenna tracker works fine, but i do not get an pan moevment. i am using a pixhawk with two 180degree position servos. I have been able to prototype a 2:1 gear system to give the 360…"
i am working with a pixhawk microcontroller. for some reason when i move my antenna tracker, i can see the compass value changing in mission planner but the heading line does not change. so i know the compass is working but for some reason its as if…
I was wondering if there are ways to export data from mission planner. i would like to export GPS coordinates of my drones location as well as tuning records in numerical terms. to use for further analysis Cheers
"Unfortunately its in the office. are you using a pixhawk?
i read somewhere that if you go into config and tuning in mission planner and then go down to the telemetry line, check all the values. they should be all be between 2 and 5. if you look at…"

"Keith, i managed to get mine working by reinstalling the firmware of my copter and then using the wizard to set it up. the only issue i have now it that gps connectivity isn't great. "
"how exactly are you trying to arm it?"
hi,i have a pixhawk connected to mission planner and am using it as an antenna tracker. i have two servos connected into a frame i rapid prototyped. the problem i am having seems so simple but i can't seem to arm my tracker. i get the green flashing…
I am a researcher who has been tasked with building an antenna tracker one of my professors, the problem is i have little knowledge on this topic. Starting from basics, how should i tackle this problem, whats an optimum MCU and sensors and the such.…
