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…

i tried these options but still getting error. pl see the attachment. i searched a lot on forum. my computer is 64bit. pl....see this attached error.
hi thomas, cheers for that info on compiling, its the first time i havent had any errors
@saba,
For those of you who want to compile and use the latest ArduRover V2.30 alpha code, here is what you need to do:
1) Download the ArduPilot version of the Arduino IDE 1.0.3 per the link provided by Linus below.
2) Run the ArduPilot IDE 1.0.3 and, using "ArduPilot" in the header bar, select the correct HAL Board from the drop down menu. Then restart the ArduPilot IDE.
3) Load in the latest V2.30 Sketch. The ArduRover Sketch code must reside in the same root directory as the ArduPilot IDE.
4) There is no need to define your APM configuration anywhere in the ArduRover code. The HAL Board drop down menu will do it for you.
5) Now run the compiler and you should have no problem with the compile. Don't forget that the lastest ArduPilot libraries must be in the same Sketch folder as the ArduRover2 folder: ie ArduRover_v230_firmware/ArduRover2 and ArduRover_v230_firmware/libraries. Remember, ArduRover_v230_firmware must be in the same root directory as the ArduPilot IDE.
Hope this helps.

TCIII
pl help. i followed all the instructions defined but still compilation error. is it possible to provide a single zip folder with all the requirement( ardino + ardurover+library). i am really sorry but i did it many times.
regards
saba
@Alan,
No problem. I was just having fun with you. But the need for the modified IDE is real for post HAL versions of the ArduRover2 v2.30 code.

@Thomas,
Sorry for the question. Guess I missed the big event, or the reason for the change.
Alan
@Alan,
Where have you been? I think that the move to the Hardware Abstraction Layer was pretty well advertised on the forum. The move to the HAL requires a special version of the Arduino IDE 1.0.3 that includes a "ArduPilot" menu in the IDE header that allows the user to identify the flavor of the APM that they are trying to program. Without the modified IDE, post HAL versions of the ArduRover2 v2.30 alpha code will not compile and will give compiler errors when using the stock IDE 1.0.3.
Regards,
TCIII
@Thomas,
Any idea why a special version of 1.03 needs to be used? I have both, one for ros_arduino_bridge, and one for APM. They work, although it's always a chore to get the libraries in the right place.

@Bot_Thoughts
The APMs have an I2C port that is presently used for reading the compass.

@saba,
You have to use a specially modified version of Arduino IDE 1.0.3 that can be found here: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/downloads/detail?name=ArduP...
When you start the IDE you must select the model of the APM you are using from the menu in the "ArduPilot" menu in the IDE header. Then restart the IDE for the selection to take affect.

TCIII
