My new (used) APM arrived, I'm porting some code from my own aoutpilot and so I'm learning the actual latest code...what a pain. nice anyway! leatest apm 2.1.2 and gcs downloaded yesterday.

 

yaw servo stuck, no movement no matter what  pid values or yaw rotation I put into it. I have magnetometer enabled and working.

 

the gcs reports loiter instead of rtl even if inside the setup routine shows and saves rtl and crashes a lot in my vista enviroment (4 years SO with some problem about com ports, could be my problem).

 

I made a good code for dual channel aileron with differential (it sense diff input and repeat it on output autoatically). Now working on porting spoilerons code..

 

if anyone interested I can post it (for a quick and dirty see issue 373, it does not care about trim on second channel but is very quick, actual code is spread on multiple functions).

 

 I would like to know how to set the declination inside the firmware so I should not make the setup every time I load my mods.

    Don't worry about the GCS reporting "loiter" instead of "rtl". It's just that MAVLink doesn't have names for all the APM modes, and actually RTL = Loiter at home.

    The Yaw (rudder) servo typically is only used to coordinate turns in motion. You should not see it move appreciably on the ground.
