Loading code problem

Hi,

when i connect to Ardupilot with the serial monitor i received the following error:

EError: PA7 & PG1 is not reading HIGH

Press Y to continue.

 

I press Y and gives me the same error.

 

Everything is ok. Hardware led is greed. Com port has corrected settings. Switch on CLI.

Drivers ok on win7 32 bit.

 

Do you have any idea ?

Thanks in advance,

Gastone

    That means you haven't loaded any firmware!

     

    Please use the manual and follow the steps. You need to download the mission planner and load firmware. What you're seeing is just factory diagnostic code--there is no flight firmware loaded at the factory.

  • Folks, same issue here on a newly built 2560 model (jDrones sourced). Just tried APM2.0.36 and CLI ends up with the same scenario (

    Error: PA6 & PK7 is not reading HIGH Press Y to continue...)
     as bhboyle's post. And also get the avr stkv2 timeout message when uploading as well.

     

    I have the configuration setup for the right board, baud rate (57600, as 115K shows garbage), and cable, and latest arduino-022 version IDE. So not sure why it's having a problem uploading--time to check the code. Anyone else having luck on a ATMega2560? WIll try it on Mission Planner on windows when I can find a windows box (I'm on Linux).

  • I am having the exacte same problem.


    I received my new kit Monday. I very carefully soldered the kit together and then went to test an upload to the board.

    I always get the error below. just to be sure i connected another arduino and uploaded the blink test sketch with out issue.

    I set the board type to Mega-1280. I also made sure the port was correct and i tried it with the arduino IDE version 18 and 22 all with the same results.

    I do see the power LED light and there is a yellow LED next to it that is also lighted. when I send a sketch to the board i get three blinks of the TX LED.

    Binary sketch size: 55264 bytes (of a 126976 byte maximum)

    avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding

     

    this is the output of the serial monitor....

    PLEASE HELP!!

  • Hi,

    thanks for your reply. This is what i did. I assembled and soldered the full kit and everything seems ok. Led green on board and blu led on. I downloaded arduino .0022 (last version) install libraries and sketch for piratesng firmware. I modified the config.h for my application and when i compile everything is ok.

    When i press "UPLOAD" it gave to me the SYNC ERROR..cannot find the board. (i selected the correct board and com).

    The hardware i think is working good because when i press the "boot" function it boot and all led are ok.

    Does i need to load something before place the piratesng code?

    If you can help me i will be very grateful because it's my first experience with arducopter platform.

    I'm trying to find a person that can explain me some things...also if i have to paid something for lesson..not a problem...but i need it.

    Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

    The sounds like the test program that comes flashed wehn you first buy it. ie no APM code on it yet.
  • 3D Robotics
    No idea. Post a screen shot, please. I can't even tell if that's an OS or APM error.
