erratic gyro indication

I had a problem with my APM today, specifically a tumbling erratic attitude indication in the MP flight data page. When I looked at the gyro logs in test it showed all 0's. This is the second time I…Continue

Steven Taylor replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"Hey I might be up for it but i'm super new to apm. I would need an arduino to upload the code to the apm ?"
Kabir replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"Guys, my current quad setup is running on some stable research firmware, so I cannot test my own SSG control code. Is anyone who already has an SSG setup on their quad willing to test out some of my code to enable support for mixed gimball?
I can…"
Quentin Mayberry replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"As I use a power distribution board for my quad (I have 3 spare ESC bec circuits not doing anything).
I use a Y lead from one of the ESC's that aren't powering the APM to power the KK2 M1 and the KK2 servo rail."
Steven Taylor replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"How are you supplying power to the kk2?"
Quentin Mayberry replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"Ok finally the KK2 arrived from Hong Kong and after a little help it all works fine. A good stop gap until the mixing code is available for the APM.
To get the super simple mount to work, load openaero2 for kk2 boards - beta 4 firmware…"
Quentin Mayberry replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"Don't know, hence ordering the KK2 until we can find someone who knows how to modify the APM code for us ;)"
Steven Taylor replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"didn't crezzee have issues using the v-tail mixer ? I think thats why he got someone to program the kk2 to do without it."
Quentin Mayberry replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"Has anyone successfully used a V-Tail mixer to make this work? I have tried everything I can think off but can't get it to work correctly with a mixer!"
Bjarni replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"I think he uses tubes to isolate vibrations/noise from going to the camera, so metal links are not as good, if I understand this right"
Veikko Vierola replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"That is very innovative and simple design. I guess you could use metal pitch links also instead of the tubes."
Kabir replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"I have the SSG plates, but have not yet installed them yet. The APM code should be quite simple... Just need a developer to integrate and push to Git."
Brent replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"I would suspect the GWS mixer here. I have had trouble with GWS playing nice with other brand receivers before and it was explained to me once why that is, but I don't remember the details."
Steven Taylor replied to Brent's discussion Super Simple Gimbal"Its all carbon fiber. I got a kit from hobbyking. i'm thinking i will glue them to the bottom of the original camera mount. just dont wanna do anything till i know it will work with apm 2.5."

I found it necessary to stretch the Bixler fuselage 2" in order to accommodate the wire bundle that comes out of the APM 1 while using the electronics…

Yes, I'm currently using apc220 pairs for both Ardupilot Mission Planner and a hardware-based GCS at 19200Kbps with success. Where are you stuck? If you can get the PC to recognize and configure the modems, we should be able to get your link up and running.
Let me know what's up,
John

Yes, please do set both serial and RF to 19200. Also, in APM_Config.h , add the line #define SERIAL3_BAUD 19200
Give that a shot and let me know!
Good luck!
John
