Hi,
I have had my rover implementation and it's 3DR Ublox LEA-6H GPS/compass working great for the last few months.
Recently I installed two AEG airsoft guns (I know, I know, boys and their toys!), and now the magnetomer is wildly affected by the AEG m

I'm currently use a mix of sharp analog infrared distance sensors with my rover solution. These have been calibrated and yet, particularly for one of the sensors, the readings tend to fluctuate wildly. Maybe I need to introduce some smoothin

Writing own custom software on APM 2.6 platform, using 3DR radios for two-way control and telemetry.
I would very much appreciate a pointer on how I can obtain RSSI values. Is the RSSI available at the "vehicle" end as attached to the APM and perh

After posting here a few times for guidance I thought it time to show the fruits of my labours.
This project started as a wracking of brains to conceive a concept for delivering real time data for real time on-the-fly analysis that would make

I am looking to use the AP_InertialSensor_MPU6000.cpp example in custom code to run on the APM 2.6.
I want to integrate the standard MPU6000 example into a class within my own application, which uses standard libraries like servo etc etc. Hence I

I uploaded the example compass test sketch from the AP_Compass library, some output from the test sketch is given below.

Many of the APM libraries contain an example folder with test sketches. As an example, library AP_GPS has an /examples/GPS_UBLOX_test/ folder with example sketch.
Is there a straight-forward way to successfully compi

I am migrating my own custom Arduino Uno rover firmware over to the APM 2.6.
On the Arduino Uno digital pins 2 & 3 are marked as PWM and it's these I'm writing to for motor control.
With regard to the APM 2.6 what are the equivalent PWM output pins?

First post here - fantastic forum with a wealth of experience and information, hoping you guys can help.
Longer term I will go ArduRover with mission planning capabilities, however for now I am working on a project that has 3 main criteria:
