"I meant to say the SR1_Position param."

Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"I managed to figure my issue out.  It was not making any attempt to track the quad because of the SR0_Position setting.  I changed it from a 2 to a 3 and now it is tracking pretty well.  "

Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"I finally have all the issues worked out with my tracker except one, and was wondering if anyone has any ideas.  Basically the tracker does not track the copter in auto mode.  For example, the copter is due east but the tracker remains pointed…"

Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"You guys are all very welcome!  I am still trying to get my tracker running reliably since I upgraded.  I decided to upgrade my GPS to the M8N because of large variances on both gps and compass readings.  I may also have to relocate it further from…"

"I just compiled v0.8.0 for the pixhawk if anyone needs it, since it is no longer available.antennatracker-pixhawk-0-8-0.px4"

Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"Good call Artem.  It was definitely RF interference.  I did a very quick test by isolating the m8n gps with some tin foil.  The position accuracy improved immediately.  So I took the time to swap the gps to a old neo-6m I had laying around, and…"

"I have a bunch of lea 6 and neo 7 gps's here.  I can try some of them and see if they are any better."

Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"If it was a rf noise issue, wouldn't the hdop be higher and sat count lower?"
Oct 29, 2015
Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"Is there a procedure that could be followed where the GPS is used to see the map and then set tracker home without disconnecting the gps?  Or would the GPS have to be put on a switch of some sort?"

Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"Here is one of my planes running the same GPS.  Higher hdop, lower sat count, much greater accuracy and no wandering."
Oct 29, 2015
Jeff replied to Randy's discussion figuring out the Antenna Tracker
"I am making some headway on getting things working, but one things has me stumped.  I am using the M8N gps, and have excellent hdop (1.3) and sat count (11) but the antenna tracker is wandering all over the place.  Here is a screenshot from MP.  The…"

Jeff replied to Mitch Miers's discussion MissionPlanner antenna tracker: adding Maestro servo speed, accel parameters
"I got Mission Planner to build in Visual Studio 2010 and I can run it from the debug folder. Is it possible to create a full .msi easily or should I just wait for the next version to be cut?"

Jeff replied to Mitch Miers's discussion MissionPlanner antenna tracker: adding Maestro servo speed, accel parameters
"It looks like your changes were incorporated. Thanks again! Now I just need to figure out how to build it."
