graham newton replied to Kevin Hester's discussion new release - won't be working on andropilot for a few days in the group Andropilot Users GroupRyan replied to graham newton's discussion Coding AUX servo functions into 2.7.3"OK, silly mistake, looking at this code I was flipping my test_flag variable before the next if statement so that's why it was causing the back and forth.
Here's my new code:
void servo_rot(){ if (test_flag==true){…"
Ryan replied to graham newton's discussion Coding AUX servo functions into 2.7.3"Well, my code will only work in Manual, Disable causes it to not work at all. Other modes also seem to not have it working at all (Aileron, Camera, flap, etc)
This leads me to believe the problem is in the RC_Channel_Aux file in the library. It…"
Ryan replied to graham newton's discussion Coding AUX servo functions into 2.7.3"Also, I thought maybe it had something to do with how the AUX channels were set up. I've mostly tried under "Manual" and "Disable" in the parameter config. I think logically disable would be the way to go, since I'm not…"
Ryan replied to graham newton's discussion Coding AUX servo functions into 2.7.3"I think you are on the right track. I've been searching on documentation for doing this but haven't had too much luck.
I've been able to get servos to move by using the APM_RC.OutputCh command you are using. However the trouble…"

graham newton replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Blue LED only when power via USB. "Stable" Fw loaded and it still does not solve it.
The board was working before FW update"

graham newton replied to Randy's discussion ArduCopter 2.9 / 2.9.1 released"Hi Guys
I am not having any luck setting up a mates APM2 .
I cannot get the green bars to show during calibration and no HUD movement.
I have tried to erase and reset the logs, load arduplane FW and still nothing.
Is there a definiative method to…"

I will test more and confirm.

graham newton replied to Kevin Hester's discussion New 1.1.0 release in the group Andropilot Users Group"Hi Kevin
Busy testing with a quad.
I am struggling to change waypoint type when planning missions?
Using guided mode now, works very nicely. Except when I selected RTL...
Motors shut off and it dropped like a brick.
I think my throttle was all the…"

Issues I have come across (suggestions)
Hi KevinThanks again for this wonderful work!Things that I am struggling with:1. If you program a "goto" waypoint (the one with the flag) I cant seem to delete it.If I rotate the phone it reloads and the flag is gone. short term fix but it would be nice to delete like normal waypoints.2. in the OVERVIEW tab, the altitude is given as absolute.I think it would be more useful as altitude above where home is set?3. I can get the drop down menu to "change type" on the waypoint settings.But i click…See More
graham newton replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Andropilot - discussion for Android ground controller users/developers"OK I got that far.
Some questions:
how/when is the HOME position set?
to land the copter after a simple mission, could you set a waypoint as RTL?
What flight mode msut the copter be in to execute the mission? Must it be armed with the tx…"
graham newton replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Andropilot - discussion for Android ground controller users/developers"How does one clear a waypoint?
There is a waypoint at the centre of the earth :) (0 S, 0 E) That will not go away.
How functional is the program as it is now?
Can one plan a mission and execute from the app?
Thanks"
graham newton replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Andropilot - discussion for Android ground controller users/developers"sorted :) now to learn for to use it.
REALLY EXCITING!

graham newton replied to Kevin Hester's discussion Andropilot - discussion for Android ground controller users/developers"Hi Peter
USb Debug is disabled. What about usb host mode? is there a setting to eneable that?
I am using the cable that came with the phone with a female to female adapter and gluging the telem and the cable into that. Maybe thats the issue?"
