Before Posting an Issue

Hi All,

Before posting an issue or a problem in the ArduBoat Discussion Forum, please check the wiki table of contents, review the firmware release notes in the subforum, and search that subforum for existing answers to your question. Help avoid duplicate threads by finding other members with the same issue and their solution.

When formulating your post, use a descriptive title such as "rover will not navigate to waypoints in the Auto mode" (not "HELP!" or "Problem").

Please include the following information to help diagnose your query:

  • Describe the problem you are having. What is the expected verses the observed behavior?
  • Provide hardware information such as the brand and version of your autopilot, GPS, radio, and compass, as well as any other pertinent details about your rover setup.
  • What version of the APM: ArdurRover2 firmware version are you running?
  • For navigation issues, provide your tlog and/or dataflash log. Click here for instructions on retrieving a dataflash log.

    It's all coming along very nice after the few setbacks you had.

    @Gonzalo Yes it works great.  Also see http://diydrones.com/group/ardublimp

    Has anyone tried using the arduboat on a blimp? I'm pretty sure that it would work magnificently with little to no wind.

    That is a big boat Tom.  It is looking awesome!  Can't wait to see how you mount the running gear on the inside.

    Thanks, Grant.

    Tom,

    That doesn't look bad.  You got a whole hull covered by 4 sheets of wood. Good job.

    Thanks Tom.  I'm impressed you could make that change - looks very fiddly.  I love seeing the photo's - keep posting them as you progress if possible!

    Thanks, Grant.

    Tom.  O.K..  I personally would glass over the exterior of the hull with epoxy and a loose fiberglass weave.  Not glass from Hobbico but a 6 o.z. glass from West Marine.  Just my thoughts.  This could be done later on if you have problems with the hull leaking or structural problems.  My hull is balsa and after glassing it over I am not afraid to hit anything.  It is very solid.  The two coats of resin over your hull is just for water proofing the exterior. But, I suppose the glass on the interior of the hull is meant for strength..  6 in one hand and half a dozen in the other.

    Tom,

    Are you going to glass over the hull?

    Great news. I'd love to see a couple of photo's of what you have done to correct the issue if possible.

    cheers, Grant.

New to boats looking for a hull suggestion

Hello allI have played around with fixed-wing drones before but am new to boats. I am looking to build a simple boat for the purpose of inspecting a heavily timbered section of river that it is hard to get a manned boat into and am looking for some suggestions on where to start. I don't need a sounder or overly accurate GPS (but both would be good to have). I would really like a high-resolution camera in a dome housing or similar that I could control and take photos with. I would also like a…

Rudder control for kontiki

Hi all,I want to install a rudder on to my kontiki, which is like a submarine which floats on the surface and takes a fishing line out to sea.I am thinking of using an apm 2.8 with gps (because thats what i have) to drive a 20kg servo. The gps should point at a point about 3km out from the beach and the kontiki should follow that course until the timer turns off.I would be grateful for any advise how to go about this.

How to connect 2 Brushless Motors and 1 rudder

Hi, I'm new to Pixhawk. I'm making a boat. I do have 2 brushless motor with ESC and 1 servo which is connected to the rudder. How can I connect them to the Pixhawk 2.4.8. What changes should I bring in the parameters? From readings, I come to know that servo should be connected to RC1 and motor to RC3. But what should I do when I have 2 motors, which are kept in both the ends. Thank you
