Hello, friends!
I have a question about the ability to use APM Planner coupled with ArduStation for antenna tracking. Actually i want to try the new 3DR radios instead of XBEEs.
I tried different settings in "Antenna Tracker" options section in the APM Planner but nothing happens when i connect to ArduStation.
My ardustation has "Ardustation2_APM_ACM_2.0.13" firmware onboard.
APM Planner version 1.1.75 mav 0.9.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Ok, all re-flashed. ardustation comms are good, all data and parameters downloading ok.
whenever i go to connect with mission planner the ardustation resets. but something must be getting through because the data comes up on the HUD and the map goes to the right spot.
MP eventually times out and says "connect failed" timeout on read - getParamList 05
Should be able to set up the ardustation to track the "whatever it is you fly" with or without the planner. if you want to connect the planner via the ardustation i *think* you need to reverse the mosi and miso lines on the ftdi connector to get data out. have read it in the ardustation forum but not tried it personally.

I'm in the same situation.
Can anyone help us ?
I want to use the informations of radio 3DR for the ardustation directs my tracking antenna.
ardustation is designed to be a standalone antenna tracker. idealy you would need to piggyback the rx lines from your 3dr so you can use both at the same time.
