"I went with a traxxas model, but pretty much anything should work for you."
"Hi Chris,
In manual and learning modes are the only ones where you have control of the servos. In auto mode the APM will take over control of the servos completely. Without it actually moving the GPS will not update and the APM wont tell your stuff…"

"I agree no reason to start completely over, if this is to be a non-flying item then removing all the extraneous items will decrease the size of code. I have some time this week to test out things if the weather holds out here in Houston, I have…"
"Awesome and welcome to the group, I should be back home on 12/11 and I can test any code daily in between working on my 3D CNC and assembling my 3d printer.
Any other ardurovers in Houston near 1960/Aldine Westfield??
TJC3, I have not forgotten I…"

"I agree with Alan RTFM :P I know there are a few things missing but for the most part its all there. Here goes a super simple list of what I did.
1. Buy/acquire all the parts
2. Download all the software
3. Modify my rover chassis and mount all my…"

"Yes for the ones that I did in the MP, I let it do like 4 circuits of the way points, which came out to be basically a rounded square, I think due to GPS drift off the box kept moving south for me. but I was basically pleased that it more or less…"
"I used the MP to do my waypoints, I tried a couple of times using the learning mode but Im not quite sure it did what I wanted as it was a very quick test (timewise). I know I have some work to do with the mounting of the APM 1.4 as my compass is…"
"Which was my thinking exactly, I have limited build/development time so I usually go with the safest technologies if I can. So far from my limited play time it has worked out well.

"From reading the forums, people were having issues with the compasses reading backwards, not powering p, erratic behavior, so i figured it would be better to go with the most stable one until things get more fleshed out.

"WAhoo!! I got my little rover to successfully do 4 way points sucessfully!!! Now I need to get all my build data and stuff together to share with the group. I am using the APM 1 and oilpan setup with the latest firmware."
"Hi all, I am not near my build due to being offshore on an oil rig enroute to the Gulf of Mexico, but i did get as far as being able to download the waypoints to the rover during the time I was home. I dont think my GPS was latching onto the…"
