Connection problems 3dr radio look alike: Andropilot Users Group

Posted by Edward Shave on December 6, 2013 at 3:35am 
Not sure if I have an odd setup here or just something intended for an older version apm.

Win 7 could not find drivers. Tried to install manually but drivers not recognised.
Inspection revealed interface chip is silabs cp2102 (USB to UART Bridge)
Found drivers on silab site which work with mission planner.

Does anyone know if this should work with andropilot?

I tried it unsuccessfully with an old otg cable that was lying around but the cable may be faulty. Waiting for new cable to arrive...

    I don't know why it didn't occur to me before but I just tried connecting to droidplanner and it just worked no problem. So I guess there is some incompatibility to do with the interface that droidplanner handles but andropilot doesn't?

    Why are you guys buying knock off radios? Spend a few extra dollars and buy the original design you couldn't give me a set to use for free.

    Hi Ed

    Here's where I got the correct driver for my Windows based machine.

    However I did not need to instal any drivers for my android [ 7" Extreme 7C }. I did however have an issue with it connecting. It did not see the usb / otg cable connected. I thought I must have a bad cable. The problem wasn't the cable it was the android wasn't in 'usb host' mode. That's what lets the droid see things connected to the usb. I found a neat little app called 'USB Host Check'. I got it here

    however google play probably has it as well. Anyway after I installed this I was able to tap 'Fix' and it then put the droid device into 'host mode' and then it worked great!  Good luck!!
