"My problem solved! What I do is just simply change the orientation of the compass sensor depending on how I place it on my rover. In arduino library, you can simply change it here:
I am using compass sensor in APM2 to measure the relative bearing to the waypoint. FYI, I am using compass_test.pde library to measure the angle of the compass. However, the reading is not from 0-360 degree as what I expected when I rotate my rover.…
"From what I read, XBEE cannot be connected to the PC with USB attached. It was causing conflict. What I did to read the XBEE reading is to use serial port 2 which is different port from USB port.
It is capable of reading XBEE data. For my case, I…"
"Can I implement differential GPS to improve accuracy ? I read about the differential GPS in wiki, but just would like to know if this is possible with APM 2 integrated GPS module. "
"I need gps to give accurate reading when its on the same location. The value varies when I put at static location. I looked at gps datasheet, the acccuracy is below than 3 meter. Does it mean under 3 meter I wont get accurate reading?"
I have APM2. I tried to verify the location of my GPS.What I found out is that at the same location GPS reading gives different value even though I am not moving my APM, it is just a static location. So, the problem comes when I want to calculate…
You guys really directed me to the correct place which I haven't found before (maybe because of the wrong keyword). I need to absord these first. Thank a lot! Really appreciate that.
I read navigation.cpp from AP_Navigation library. I need to measure crosstrack of ArduRover measuring the current location (from GPS) with the desired point or path. Inside the code there is a crosstrack calculation. Somehow, I am not really…
Hi, I am facing problem to communicate XBEE with APM2.0. I did several tests before:1. Configure both XBEE (the one at PC and the one at APM2.0) using X-CTU. And it works, both XBEE can communicate each other. 2. I tested my APM2.0 with normal…
Hi, I just bought my APM2.0 and I am new here. I managed to verify my board is working by using Mission Planner to check the sensors (gyro, accelerometer). But somehow, I plan not to use Mission Planner to check or debug the output from the…
"Hi Tufan,
I did face the same problem previously, for my case its due to firmware issue where Mission Planner cannot read properly the required data. Maybe the firmware you loaded is incorrect or incompatible with Mission Planner. For example, one…"
