  • Arduino will compile and download from the project directory. The 'verify', which is a compile, happens in the temp. I never did try having arduino install it...
  • The make file is just a configuration. I read instructions to run it.

    To compile, I am selecting the sketch and clicking compile.

    Thanks for the input.

  • So the output file is:

    C:\Users\Wayne\AppData\Local\Temp\build7487716384992828737.tmp\ArduCopter.cpp.elf C:\Users\Wayne\AppData\Local\Temp\build7487716384992828737.tmp\ArduCopter.cpp.hex

    I have done other Ardunio projects but the output was in the target directory.

  • I am getting these warnings:

  • You hit the check mark in arduino and it does a verify by compiling it in a temp folder. That's the hex you want to install in Mission Planner. I get warnings when I compile 2.91b for a quad frame - seems related to heli code that is compiled out.
  • Dont run the makefile. Load the Arducopter.pde and compile it

  • I just tried again but the same results. The mega2560 is selected already.

  • I didn't run the makefile, I loaded up the Arducopter.pde sketch in Arduino, selected the mega2560 under Tools, and it compiled perfectly (slowly).

    Still building on mine so the software hasn't been loaded.

    Good luck, Bo

  • Yes, I downloaded the modified Arduino tools. I downloaded the source from the GIT. I ran the makefile. I set the file path and board type.

    There are still a lot of warnings and I the only HEX file I can find is in the temp folder.

    I am looking for a form thread or something to help sort it out. 

  • Normally, you should not have any warning with the Arducopter code. Do you use the modified Arduino version for ArduCopter? In the first comment lines, there is a link to download the modifed Arduino version.

Drone flying to non visible point

Hi there,I encountered a problem, while flying in auto mode, with approching to point that was not set by trajectory and is not visible after downloading mission from flight controller by Mission Planner. Does anybody encountered similar problem. The situation is that in the middle flight I stopped the UAV and uploaded new mission and after changing to auto mode it starts to fly in some direction. It goes straight to some point, so I assume it's not mechanical problem. I attached the link to…

TAKEOFF WITHOUT USING GPS

Hi,Im working on a autonomous drones and im using JETSON NANO and flight controller PIXHAWK .Im able to control my drone by giving rc commands on the MAVLINK terminal itself by connecting it with PIXHAWK but now i want a python code from which i can do some operations like:takeoff,left ,right,forward,backward…and i am not using GPS…Can anyone please help me…

Will AHRS_ORIENTATION=8 for Arducopter 3.2.1 on APM 2.5 using a traditional Heli

I have been Reading Chris Olsen posts and watching his videos on Arducopter with traditional Helis using a Pixhawk.I have inherited an older Trex 450 heli with the old Align 3G FBL hardware.  The FBL controller appears to be bad.  So I have an old APM 2.5 without a compass or GPS on board.  I just want to replace the failed Align 3G FBL system with the APM.Now I have to mount the APM under the skids on the heli so the APM will be upside down.I have Two questions.1)  Is the AHRS_ORIENTATION=8…
