Hi All,
I thought that I would start this discussion to provide a forum where we RoboMagellan enthusiasts can share our thoughts on the use of an ArduRover for the various RoboMagellan contests held around the country.

As far as I can tell, it's playing around with values and using a DVM, but for the moment I did not manage to get t

Just got back from the maiden voyage of my Ardu-Boat platofrm (APM 2.5) - and while the eventual end of the trial stemmed from a mechanical problem (gearbox wasn't great) - what I could test of the autopilot had miserable behavior.

since there are some changes recently in software it might help to get an update about
how to load the current development version on to your APM.
If you just want to have a quick start i strongly advise you to upload the latest stable version
Hello all.
I have a rover set up, and it works great for the most part. I'm using the APM 2.5+, APMRover2.20a firmware.
I use Mission Planner to set up my waypoints I put it in auto mode and it takes off, working great, moving from waypoint to waypo

Hi all!!!!! Can anyone tell me and help me if it's possible to use this version of ardupilot, legacy, for test it on the ground on an rc car? I have one of this and i never be able to really test it.... i'm so sad!!!!

I'm sure my Arduino IDE needs some libraries added to its system files before I can expect to compile this successfully - I'd like to flash with the .hex file from Mission Planner, but can't seem to get the firmware to compile - with

I am working on a rover project where the robot looks in a park like area for interesting objects. A limitation is that neither a GPS nor a compass can be used. I have a Phidgets spatial sensor which has a gyro and accelerometer (and a compass but

Is there an ArduRover firmware that supports that kind of setup.
If not, can someone tell me where in the Ar
