"Hi All,
What APM version are you using (2.0 or 2.5)? Also are you using an external GPS, if so....which one? The reason I ask is because I'm using APM 2.0 with the internal GPS and the latency is slow on the tracker plus the plane is not…"

"Bernard,
Glad to hear you got it working! I'm still figuring out the finer details myself. I was out at the field the other day and it was too windy to fly so I had a buddy of mine walk around the field with the plane so I could watch the…"
Bernhard Kullmann replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"Thanks Nathaniel,
I remembered my Engineering Lab notes 101 - if nothing works, check if you have connected the PSU.
Fortunately that was not the issue here - it had something to do with com ports not being freed up on Win 7 after…"
Bernhard Kullmann replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"There seems to be some issue that the Polulu utility or my system keeps the com port to the Maestro open and GCS does not like this. If I reset the Maestro and com port, it connects perfectly.
Weird but workable."
Bernhard Kullmann replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"Thanks, got it working now"

"Bernard,
How are you powering the board? If the you don't have a separate power source as he Maestro instructions you won't get any movement of the servos while connected via USB only.

Nathaniel ~KD2DEY"
Bernhard Kullmann replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"Where can we download the latest distribution of Groundstation - is it part of AMP 1.2.50?"
Bernhard Kullmann replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"Hi All,
I am having a weird issue - the setup works well as described in the treads, but only in Maestro config utility.
The APM says its connected to the Maestro on the correct com port, but can't get any movement out of the servos…"

"Hello,
I have ordered all the necessary components to assemble my tracker and am familiar with all the configuration but I have two questions about using the Mission Planner that I can't find clear documentation of. In the screen shot below…"
William Bryan replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"I rewrote this portion of the Groundstation to use a different communication protocol with the Pololu Maestro. If you download the latest distribution of the Groundstation, my changes are incorporated into it."
Chris Khosravi replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"Hi William,
I was wondering if were able to solve your problem? I have the same exact antenna tracker as you with the same servos. I was wondering if you finalized your settings and could possibly share them.

flying replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"Hi chris, in your instructions you mentioned that the antenna is supposed to point North when setting it up. Am i right to assume that this reference North is in fact true north and not magnetic north?"
AlexP replied to William Bryan's discussion Antenna Tracking Parameters"Thanks. I'll give that a try as soon as I can. Probably in 2 weeks (work travels)."
