DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"Hi luca,
Forgive typos, on the Ipad which is terrible for typing!
I think you're coming at this from the wrong angle. You already have legacy hardware, you are now trying to take it out of a supported config before youve even confirmed it…"
luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"So my question is, it's possible to test an ardupilot only with gps, no fma, no shield, no airspeed..?!"
luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"It's no possible to test only with gps, no stabilization? FMA it's used for stabilization, right?"
DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"That's the point though.
You are using (I believe) a totally unsupported configuration (no FMA or IMU). so how do you know the rudder would work without these? What if the code is waiting for an input from one of these? What happens if you…"
luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"Ok, i'll check this!!!! I have also an FMA, but for now i'd like to test it only with gps and on the ground, just to verify the correct work of the rudder servo, it's possible? just like on a rc car.... or on a plane but on the…"
DaveyWaveyBunsenBurner replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"Hi,
You will need either the FMA thermopiles or ArduIMU v2 to fly this thing. Try increasing Nav_Roll_P to increase response."
luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"ok, i think that with 2.7 no more need the bind plug, right? so.... from the config file i setup no shield, gps work fine, from the debug i see the distance from waypoint that i loaded increase/decrease as i approach the point... but i don't…"
luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"i need the bind plug for test only with gps module? I NEED INPUT!!!! (tribute to johnny 5...you know?!)"
luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"Now, after few minutes (indoor, in my house!!) i've got a solid blue led and red blink on em-406, on debug of gps out i can see the right lat.long. red power led on, other led of. if i move the switch on position 3, go in auto mode and red mux…"

luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"Ok, done. 2 wires soldered. 2.7.1 loaded. In config.h i've changed position3 from fly by wire to auto (i'm using an hitec optic 6, 2 switch position, toggle between position 1 and 3). This in the line that i suppose i must modify...…"
Tassos Polichronopoulos replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"2 wires as on the wiki the one cable was the old method"
luca replied to Steve Price's discussion New to Ardupilot and Need some help! Difference between APM and my setup?"ok, i'll do it!!!!! On the back of the board i have to solder 1 or 2 wires? in some guide i've seen only 1 wire"
