"I think that's my best bet for now. I'll take a look at modifying them for the Nano/Mega and see what I can come up with.
Thanks!"

I've been having this problem for a while:Often (but not always), when I connect APM Planner to the APM board via a USB cable and click on "Terminal" to check logs or whatever, when I press enter…Continue

I've been running the on board datalogger quite a bit lately and it seems to be working for the most part, but there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense.For example, the GPS time data is…Continue
Modifying Fly By Wire B for Custom Function

Hi All,Currently I don't use the FBW B mode on my aircraft, and I wanted to modify it for a custom function. Specifically, I want to make a doublet command, so that when I throw the switch into FBW…Continue

"Lewis,
You might want to try looking at the APM_RC library instead. It's got some example sketches that might be helpful. The thing is that there are quite a few differences between the standard Arduino…"
Lewis W replied to Lewis W's discussion How does the Ardupilot servo control work? in the group Learning to program the Ardupilot Mega"Randy,Thanks for the tips. I tried what you said, and it's marginally better, but still not ideal... I think that the servo library is also no speed-optimized. Even if it were, it doesn't help in the long run. Assuming no…"

"Lewis,
The APM_RC library is the one that we use in ArduPilot/ArduCopter to read/write pwm values used by the servos. It uses low level avr hardware calls (although i suspect the servo lib you're using does as well)…"

How does the Ardupilot servo control work?
Hello everyone!Currently I'm working on a project that will attempt to use additional control surfaces to induce stresses in the wings of an aircraft that some of my colleagues are developing. At the moment I'm using an Arduino Nano as a prototype - I want it to have six inputs (from the rx) and eight outputs (four extra control surfaces). I would use the Ardupilot for this project, but we need 8 inputs and 14 outputs in the final device, so I decided to use an Arduino Mega 2560 board (it's…See More
Mike R. replied to Lewis W's discussion APM Planner Crash/Freeze in Terminal/CLI"Obviously completely my oversight - Thank you to you both :)"
DeveloperMichael Oborne replied to Lewis W's discussion Explanation of log data please!
"correct, the mtk is 4hz, but output at 10 hz. most gps are in the 1-5 hz range."
Aaron Curtis replied to Lewis W's discussion Explanation of log data please!"Looking at my logs, it seems the GPS is actually updated at 4Hz, not 10. The time numbers increase by 250ms each time. I have APM2 with the included stock GPS."

Mike R. replied to Lewis W's discussion APM Planner Crash/Freeze in Terminal/CLI"Just tried 1.1.97 - Same exact problem.
The issue doesn't occur when directly connected via USB - only while connecting via XBee..
I'm concerned that if I'm on the ground and something is going wrong with how APM Planner is dealing…"
