JL,

Arduino IDE 1.01 appears to be choking on the Parameters.h file when attempting to verify version 2.1.6.

TCIII: I just tried and it's working for me. I just pulled the latest code from the repository and it compiled fine on Arduino 1.0.1

I got the same problem.

@Chris,

Thanks for the response. Maybe I am not building the sketch correctly? I have the APMRover2 file (2.16) and the accompanying libraries in a folder called APMrover216_new_mavlink in my sketch directory. Is this correct?

@Rob

Update: Found the problem. The Arduino IDE is very sensitive to the depth of the folders where the sketch files are located. I moved the APMRover2 file and its accompany library out of the APMrover216_new_mavlink folder and up one folder level and received a good compile notice. ie: C:\Users\TCJR\Documents\Sketch1\APMRover2,libraries

@Chris,

How do you have your IDE sketch folders structured?

Regards,

TCIII

I'm begining to think that my problem lies in the library files and how I'm down loading them.  I get different file sizes depending on how I download them.   Saving the raw veiw files results in a smaller size and seems to get a bit further along in compiling.
 What is the correct way to obtain the libraries from the GIT?   Google tells me it's way over my head!

@Chris C,

You can obtain most of JL's APMRover2 build files from links on this thread. You might try the link method of build file down load than trying to get them from the GIT.

Just a thought.

Thanks TC. 

I guesse I wasn't paying attention when I downloaded the build files. They were there all along. 

Got it to conpile.

Thanks

JLN: I had a better day driving today and learned two things.

1. An ROV_GAIN of 4 works a lot better for me than 5. 
2. My GPS data is all over the place (stock MTK). A few meters off doesn't matter in a plane, but it sure matters in a rover! I may upgrade to a prototype of our forthcoming new uBlox with the bigger antenna.

Hi Jean-Louis, could your rover-code be used in motor boat too, if the wheel steering servo is used to steer a rudder?

Admin Comment by Thomas J Coyle III on June 4, 2012 at 2:19pm

@Chris A,

If your rover uses brushed motors, then the sparking brushes may be causing interference. Do you have capacitors across the motor brushes and from each motor power terminal to the case?

Just a thought.

Regards,

TCIII
