We are flying tommorow utilizing the happykillmore gcs and I was in the process of cacheing the maps like I do using APM planner. I disconnected the cat 5, rebooted the gcs and noticed once the…Continue

Brett Horton replied to Luc van Helfteren's discussion 433 Mhz radios will bind, and config utility works but no heartbeat"Solid Green - Both
Bright Flashing (random) Red on air radio
Dim Flashing (random) Red on Local
So they seem to be communicating with each other....
Still getting "Failed to enter command mode" in the configuration tab"
Brett Horton replied to Luc van Helfteren's discussion 433 Mhz radios will bind, and config utility works but no heartbeat"understood, I can't see either now...
I was able to at first, but now I can't see either.
When I first plugged them in they worked perfectly, nothing has changed on the computer side or the radio side... they won't connect at all…"
Brett Horton replied to Luc van Helfteren's discussion 433 Mhz radios will bind, and config utility works but no heartbeat"Same issue here...
Was working perfectly, unplugged both units to work on another project, plugged back into the same computer 10 minutes later and I can not connect any longer.
I can connect and see both the local and remote under…"
Alex.CCCP replied to Brett Horton's discussion Intentional "loss" of GPS... How will the Ardupilot Mega respond?"found that in case of a sudden GPS lost it tries to loiter holding bank angle and watching altitude changes by barometer, but in case of no GPS lock since init it will just fly in stabilize."
Guy Smalt replied to Brett Horton's discussion Intentional "loss" of GPS... How will the Ardupilot Mega respond?"Really? ... I don't see anything about GPS failsfe options in either the APM_Config.h file or in the Arduplane.pde code (after a quick cursory review) for Arduplane 2.40 ... what am I missing? ... I see no GPS failsafe ... and we need it ...…"
Andke replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup"After ridiculous amount of waving the plane, - and I mean like half an hour or more, with breaks just to verify error in each direction, the maximum error is now at most 20degrees. - and the offset values kept changing.
AP flies very well now…"
Andke replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup"yes, they do move, now they are -38,8,41
the thing is that in the beginning west was most off, now west is down to 20deg error, but south is now off by 55degree - and I've been "waving it around" for a seriously long time,…"
DeveloperRandy replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup
"Andke,
50 degrees of inaccuracy is possible if you don't have your offsets set correctly.
you could check the mag_x, mag_y and mag_x values in that little status window, if they're all…"
Andke replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup"The thing is : how can I determine whatever it is defective ?
One fact: I did not get my magnetometer with my order, it was delivered later - this may not mean anything.
- is 50degree error much more than usual pre-calibration-inaccuracy ?
I'll…"
james sowell replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup"whould magnets in the plane door latch camera mount be throwing it off just wondering"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup
"Andke: Have you ruled out a defective mag? The dev team can only resolve issues that they can replicate. Hardware issues could explain your results."
Andke replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup"I just spent over 10 minutes waving the plane in all possible directions.
the values went up as high as -38,8,41
When I started west was worst, almost 50degree off. now west is 20degree too far south, but south is 55degree off to…"
Andke replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup"to make things worse, I live well above polar circle - and out magnetic field is stronger in vertical, than horizontal direction."
DeveloperRandy replied to Brett Horton's discussion ArduPilot Mega and Magnetometer Setup
"That should be fine. Really it shouldn't take that much effort. Just vaguely wave it around and point it in a few directions and that should be it.
just a side point but it's just one mag but it can measure which way is…"
