Hi All,
Before posting an issue or a problem in the ArduRover 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").

Hi, i am looking to build a new rover, but i need some advice on the chassis. I like the 4wd chassis/tank look and prefer it over the crawler/rc look.are those any good though? most people recommend crawlers.I am looking to get something from banggood, any advice will be highly appreciated. thanks
Read more…Hi all, I have a skid steer robot using a pixhawk cube, one 1x15 roboclaw motor controller and a dagu wild thumper 4 wheel chassis. I have skid steering working so far, testing motor c and motor d tests works as described and the vehicle can be controlled in manual mode. However, upon using any mode other than manual mode the rover wants to shake and pivot on the spot, and it seems the steering PID controller oscillates and these oscillations get larger. i have tried everything but it is still…
Read more…Hi,I have converted a Traxxas X-Maxx into a rover using the Pixhawk Cube 2 controller kit with a Here GNSS.I swapped out the original X-Maxx remote controller for an X6R receiver and Taranis QX7 radio.latest version of ArduRover firmware installed as of 8/11/18. The rover has an EZRun Max6 ESC. The problem now is the ESC control over the transition into reverse. The ESC is currently set to it's Running Mode Option 2: "Forward/Reverse with Break", AKA the "Double Click Method".What this mode…
Read more…Hi all.I know this is an Adurover group, but Thought I would reach out and try my odds for some help as I'm perplexed by this problem. I have a Traxxas X-Maxx set up with a Pixhawk Cube 2.1 and the Here GPS. I'm using a Tarranis X7 remote controller and a X8R Sbus Receiver. I'm using QGroundControl with the latest, Pixhawk 1.8.0 Firmware with the Generic Rover airframe profile installed. As instructed, I have Steering servo wired into Main 2 and Throttle ESC wired into Main 4. Sensors are…

Hi All,
The Ardupilot Development Team has been updating the ArduRover code so I am attaching the latest version of the ArduRover V2.30 alpha code.

@wraith,
It may be a while before Tridge has a version that is not alpha and has been beta tested and can be loaded by the MP. In the meantime you can compile and load the alpha code with the Arudpilot Arduino IDE 1.0.3 as discussed below.

hi guys, just wondering when this code is going to be put in the mission planner?
cheers glen

@ linus
Thanks for the link. It has helped a little.
hi all, just wondering wat i need to buy since i gota make an order for female-female jumpers. im building a tank and i got sabertooth controller runing 12vdc motors from 2 car batterys. i dont hav a battery for the ardupilot im wondering wat type more then likely a small type since in future id put on wireless cam and a servo and ultrasonic sensor, do i need a power module at all ? i only considered that coz of the 6 pos connector to easily connect the ardupilot.il b using the ardurover stuff aswell.i could however use the 5vdc from the sabertooth but if i dont hav to then i wont, just trying to seperate as much as i can.
Hi All,
I would like to inform the membership that Tridge, Linus, and myself have held our first ArduRover code update/enhancement meeting today. Our goal is to adjust the existing code to reflect the ArduRover operating environment and performance requirements.
We have begun this process by identifying ArduPlane operating parameters that are not germain to ArduRover operation and either eliminating them or modifying them to enhance ArduRover performance.
It will probably take several more meetings before we can release a reasonably enhanced, bug free version of the code. Tridge has this really neat simulator where the changes in the code can be verified in realtime. This will save substantial time when verifying code changes and their effect on rover performance.
We have developed a list of bug/enhancement issues that we will be addressing in the future to improve ArduRover operational performance. Those issues can be found here: https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/issues
We will try to provide weekly updates as we burn down the bug isses and implement the performance enhancements.

TCIII
Hi All,
For those of you who would like to use a Raspberry Pi CPU on your rover, Adafruit now has them in stock: http://www.adafruit.com/products/998
Raspberry Pi also plans to offer a low cost camera for object recognition: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2555
