Ardustation 2: Antenna Tracking, Mavlink, Flight Data for Arducopter 2

Heino, Jeff E and myself have been working on updating Ardustation code to support Arductoper 2.

 

I think our code is ready for general use.

- Automatic antenna tracking, tested with ReadyMadeRC Antenna pan/tilt unit (even had my ContourHD cam attached to the directional antenna!)

- Manual antenna tracking (aka Antenna Test)

- Edit/View AC2 Params included PIDs

- Flight data display

I have the same error message and can't find a solution. I am using "Duemilanove or Nano mega328" and correct USB port and Xbee is removed as mentioned in the manual.

Messages in the above posts suggest using a baud rate of 57600 however I don't see an option in arduino how to check this. I thought baud rate is fixed by the board selection?

Only the PWR LED lights up with LCD connected and Xbee disconnected. With Xbee connected the ASC LED also turns on (does not flash). Is this correct?

Confirmed the problem was in the 328 chip. Swapped it out for another and seems to work fine now.

Some of the chips need "Arduino Uno" selected as the board instead of "Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ AT mega 328"

Can I use the antenna tracker feature with arduplane, too?
