With arduplane I can upload firmware but can't connect with…"

Martin Poller commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Thanks for the gimbal photo, adapting an existing one seems a better option than trying to make one from scratch, I might try one of the el cheapo Chinese kits as a starting point."
Martin Poller commented on Matt Gunn's blog post Mapping Mission Ride Along"Great you've got going now at last, bet you're pleased with the results. I reckoned on mapping about 4.6 hectares with the current waypoint limit, so the area you've covered can't be far away from that.
Did you use the geotagging…"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"Thanks Ravi, that worked, I used another laptop with windows Vista and can connect with mavlink to MP and also upload firmware.
The mavlink connection isn't as reliable with Vista as it is with XP, but I still cant upload firmware with XP, the…"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"But there again I can now get updated firmware using mission planner, it's just a matter of getting the timing correct between pressing the PX4 reset button hitting the OK tab on mission planner.
I was pushing the OK button first.
Just the…"
Martin Poller replied to Matt Gunn's discussion For anyone using GRID or GRID V2...please read"Why not use GridV2 then?"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"@Gary,
I loaded up the most up to date PX4FMU driver version 2.0.0 and immediately suffered connection problems, I've just rolled back to driver version 1.6.2.0 and mavlink is now connecting fine again, using MP 1.2.50 and windows XP."
Martin Poller replied to Matt Gunn's discussion Anyone successfully gotten their camera to trigger on waypoint?"I am not sure that the trigger 3m from waypoint is working at the moment.
You need to set the channel# that you want to use to trigger the camera and some PWM values in to the line of the DO_SET SERVO command in the flight planner page of MP.…"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"@Ravi, I seem to have the exact opposite to you, I can connect mavlink to mission planner via usb every time now, but cannot upload firmware, I have to use Qupdate to do this.
@Gary, thanks I've uploaded the new driver but still no success,…"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"Hi Ravi, how do you upload the firmware if you can't connect to MP, do you use QUpgrade instead, and if you do can you tell me how you know which version of the firmware you are uploading?"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"This is the radio connection problem that I have just now, I have been doing more or less exactly as Gary has listed out, but still cannot now connect.
The radio settings load up without any problem on the radio configuration page but I always end…"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"I've just separated my PX4FMU from the PX410IO board and have connected with MP 1.2.48 with no problem, it pretty much connects every time now.
I only run in to problems when I try to upload new firmware with MP, it downloads the firmware…"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"I've been playing about a bit more, and I can pretty much connect with the usb every time now, it works whether I start MP first and then connect the PX4, or connect the PX4 first and then connect MP after a while.
I still can't get any…"
Martin Poller replied to John Mulligan's discussion Px4 Testing"I've been having connection problems too, I'm using arduplane and a PX4/IO board, but I can now connect fine using the usb cable if I start mission planner first and wait a bit before connecting to the usb port.
My problem is that now I…"
Martin Poller replied to Quentin Mayberry's discussion How to go back to a different arducopter firmware"Can't help with your error, maybe someone else might know, maybe try uninstall and reinstall mission planner :)"
Martin Poller replied to Quentin Mayberry's discussion How to go back to a different arducopter firmware"Did you get sorted Quentin, if not that's the correct box, I think that it's the hex codes for the different versions, if you click on one of the lines you will see the code versions below each of the platform descriptions in the main…"

Posted on October 28, 2011 at 12:30pm 21 Comments 0 Likes
Maybe this has been posted before, but I was unaware of this.
I have been assembling my quadcopter and as advised have used red loctite # 271 to lock the metal nuts and the prop mounts.
I have used it all up and bought some blue loctite #243 and have used it on some of the nylon nuts last night and have just…

My apm 2.0 seems to be broken. I got information from the manufacturer about this that they want to offer me a new one for 50% of the price. My warranty has ended a long time ago because I bought the autopilot over a year ago but never used it. Now, in your free time I started to run and here zonk! does not work.
Thank you for your interest in my problem. I'll let you know if I will to have a new apm 2.5.
