No forward speed in auto. What am I doing wrong?

This is my first time setting up an APM,  

 I have everything working in "manual" mode good.

Throttle and steering respond to my radio and from the ground station joystick.

But when I go into "auto" mode, the steering is responding but I get no throttle, no forward speed.

I setup the configuration to what it says in the ArduRover setup guide. at   http://rover.ardupilot.com/wiki/configuration-2/

But it looks like there is some information missing from that page, It stops in mid word.

so I went on to here;

http://rover.ardupilot.com/wiki/tuning-steering-and-navigation-for-a-rover/

and set the parameters as described.

No Joy.....   Steering movement but no speed. Can someone tell me what I am missing please?

Thank you.....

  • I got it working...  I had to reverse the throttle response.  

    When I went to Joystick control, I found the throttle was backwards from my transmitter. 

     The rover has all wheel steering and I use a seedruino as a custom mixer.

    Once I reversed the the throttle in my mixer things started working as expected. 

    Ready for the first field test.
