Skid steering issue

Posted by Anders Wikstrom on April 26, 2016 at 10:10am

Have, by any chance, skid steering stopped working?

I used it a lot last summer but when the spring finally has started to come, here in the north, it was time for testing.

Everything looks OK i MP and my sticks changes Throttle and Roll but nothing comes from Output 3!!!

I have tested with a normal servo and by switching the esc cables but output is coming from Output 1 only.

This has been tested with latest code 2016-04-26.

Thanks

Anders

    Anyone successfully using skid steering with the latest software?
    I flashed an APM Rover firmware, from last summer, and skid steering was working with that version but then other functions wasn't yet included.

    With the latest build I'm unable to get anything out from Port 3!
    As firmware from last summer did work there should be no hardware issue.

      I did some more faultfinding but still no success!
      If I change RC3 TRIM the motor will run so the port, servo and motor is working.
      This tells me that it's the Skid Steering function that do not send data to port 3.

      Happy to notice that I haven't toasted any hardware :-)

      Hope for a quick fix

      I tried Manual mode with 2016-05-02 firmware and still no success!

      Why can't this be corrected? It has been working before
