just found out I did not properly set up the radio, throttle seems to be working, have not tried to fly yet

Using the ardumega planner i set three waypoints and I walked the plane to the waypoints in auto mode,  looking at the GCS it shows when i reach waypoint1 it changed to waypoint two and then once waypoint  two is reached it shows  waypoint three, however when waypoint three is reached the GSC switches from auto to loiter and will only change back to waypoint 1 if i reset the autopilot. 

Is there a different command used for the last waypoint so it will go back to waypoint one?

Marlan, that is the expected behavior. Once it finishes the mission, it goes back to home. If you want it to restart the mission, issue a restart command via the GCS (I'm not sure if that's enabled in the current HK GCS, but it's built into APM and will be supported by all the clients when APM 2.0 hits final release in a couple weeks)

how do you issue a restart command, is this in the in the AMP GCS?

 

Thanks

Marlan, did you read my comment?

I cannot get 2.011 to compile using Arduino 0022. This is the message:
ArduPilotMega.cpp: In member function 'void GCS_MAVLINK::handleMessage(mavlink_message_t*)':

I need to change the baud rate on Serial port 3 and don't believe I can do that using Planner to upload the firmware and then the CLI to change the port rate... but maybe I have missed something?

Peter, you dont have your sketchbook setup properly, you must have it pointing to old library files.

Developer Comment by Michael Oborne on March 28, 2011 at 3:56pm

Rana, i think there is a problem with the serial interface. see issue 303

3D Robotics Comment by Chris Anderson on March 28, 2011 at 3:58pm

"Chris, could you please paste the link to update libraries of APM."

Rana, I don't understand. Could you rephrase?

3D Robotics Comment by Chris Anderson on March 28, 2011 at 4:51pm

Rana: I'm still not following. Are you trying to update with Subversion? Something else? 

 

If you just download the zip and use that everything should be fine. Nobody but developers should be taking the code off the SVN trunk--it's changing by the hour and is often unstable.
