Getting rolling on an old Oilpan

Posted by John Borkowski on May 5, 2011 at 2:06pm

Hello All!

I was very excited to get my Adupilotmega... almost a year ago! But circumstances did not leave me with a chance to get to playing with it.

Today I popped it out to get rolling and do some playing. My first order of business was to check everything out. Then upload the latest code. I turned to the instructions and found I was way behind the times.

My APM comes up at 57600 not 115200. So I am guessing its pretty old. It also will not take new code. I keep getting "no connection" errors in APM planner. Looking at it with a terminal (which is how I figured out it was running at 57600) I get:

opened com port

PWMset -> XXXX PWM captured ->1500 FAILED! for a number of XXXX iterations

Then I get a bunch of channel level readings.

So where do I need to start?

Any ideas?

John

I don't think you've loaded any code on your board. Use Arduino to load whichever code you want (APM or AC2) and then all should be well.

No one has any info on this? Does it seem weird that I have a APM at 57600?

I really would like to put this to work.
