yet another rear steer question

Hey guys, I have been googling this question for a bit, an posted on another forum.  With no luck.  Hoping someone here may have some experience with this what I want to do.

What I want is rear steer.  But I dont want it independent.  I have a Spectru

centering a throttle control stick

i'm trying to find a transmitter with both the control sticks centered but TJC3 Said he does not know of any transmitters where both of the sticks are centered. what he suggested was that i do it myself.so can anyone refer me to a cheap transmitter t

Skid steering vs Zero turning circle?

Is it possible to use 0 as the value for STEER2SRV_P?

I've got a vehicle that is a skid steering configuration but it's technically not skid steering because rather than the left and right sides being controlled separately, the steering channel drives

Skid, Auto mode go crazy

hello,

im using Skid output and when i put the mode to Auto the car drive crazy at full speed and it rotate to the right! im using APM 2.5 with internal Compass. i did compass calibration. 

APM 2.5 only reading one channel

Hello All,

I am setting up and configuring my APM 2.5 with the Mission Planner.  All is going well but I can only see one channel (Ch1, steering) of my Turnigy 9x transmitter being received and read.  I was wondering if anyone else has had this probl

So my first rover is built - what next for a faster APM based platform?

I think I have the bug, hook, line and sinker.After completing my first APM based rover platform on a Dagu Thumper 6WD chassis Im ready to start the next - why procrastinate, and after all, Christmas is just around the corner!I love the APM, it meets

My first rover build

Hi all,

After posting here a few times for guidance I thought it time to show the fruits of my labours.  

This project started as a wracking of brains to conceive a concept for delivering real time data for real time on-the-fly analysis that would make

Help needed - Cannot get manual mode working

This is my first time setup on rover.  I am using APM 2.5 with power module, latest rover firmware, latest MP, radio has been calibrated, all flight modes set to manual, APM red 'a' LED is on, blue 'c' LED is on, 'b' LED is off.

Can ArduRover software be used on any Arduino Mega?

I realize that it may take some work, but can I use my existing Mega, GPS, 3DR radio and load it with ArduRover software and have something that works like an APM2.5 and uses Mission Planner? 

I have an APM 2.5 on my quadcopter and I am pleased with t

APM 2.6 with 3DR Ublox GPS/Magentic compass

Hi,

Performing some testing of the HMC5883L compass within the Ublox GPS unit.

I uploaded the example compass test sketch from the AP_Compass library, some output from the test sketch is given below.

I question the "Heading" value, for example the first

Using a stepper motor for steering with APM 2.5

Hello All,I am in the process of designing and building a rover that uses a 24v geared motor with a Sabretooth speed controller for drive and a Leadshine stepper motor and controller for steering. I can control both with a Turnigy 9x RC transmitter a

Can AR.FreeFlight 2.3.3. be used as a controller instead of 7 channel rc etc?

Hello I'm just starting a build and I'm taking a shot in the dark here, instead of radio controller and receiver could  WIFI control be possible? Could AR.FreeFlight 2.3.3. be integrated as a controller in this way?  possibly through a rasp pii? This

Introduction + new rover...

Hello All,

Sabertooth 2x12 or 2x12rc

Hi all :-)

I have been trolling this group for a while and am ready to get started on a rover now that the weather/daylight is making flying more difficult.

My plan is to have a land based craft that I can test RC gear on before I put it up in the air

Rover Attack

First off, I have to thank Tom & Tridge as well as anyone else involved with 2.43, great job guys. This is my first rover, so I can't compare it to previous releases. I'm fortunate to have incredible testing grounds only 5 mins. from home. This track

Loading provided APM sketches for testing purposes

Apologies for the novice question.

Many of the APM libraries contain an example folder with test sketches.  As an example, library AP_GPS has an /examples/GPS_UBLOX_test/ folder with example sketch.

Is there a straight-forward way to successfully compi
