"Hi James,
 
I can send waypoints to my rover, however when I switch to auto mode it doesnt seem to follow the waypoints. It seems to keep going around in circles drive straight for 1sec and make more circles. Am I supposed to set any special…"

"If it is possible, how can I reverse throttle and set throttle speed from QGC? My car goes a little too fast lol"

"Hi James,
 
I'm using rev177 of APO and waypoints work now!! with my EM406!!Thanks!

"Hi James,
 
How's the debugging coming along? I have a quick question. My MTK gps unit doesnt work but I have an EM406 ( http://www.sparkfun.com/products/465 ), do I have to do any modifications to your code for this gps to work? Also i tried rev120…"

"yes I made sure to change the svn externals so it would compile properly. I saw a few revisions on the 4th of April ill choose the last revision on the 4th and try it. I would love to stick to the latest code but as I said before (issue #2 posted on…"

"Hi, can you help me which revision of the code was demo-ed in the youtube video for ardurover? The video was uploaded on the 12th of April but in the APO wiki it says "DONE 4/4/2011 : Video fo Ground Vehicle (James)"
 
Thank you.
Junior"

"Ok thanks very much!! I will try it. Do you think the waypoint timeout issue is due to the board not receiving enough power?"

"I also noticed, when GPS is on and you connect just the APM board to the computer alone with nothing else attached (servos etc) and the board is powered by the usb that you cant seem to get a GPS lock? Is this a power issue? Is the board not…"

"Hi James,
I added the issue to the Google Code site. I remember I told you about this issue a while ago, I thought it was fixed. Is it possible to provide me with a version of the ardurover code in which you can confirm waypoint sending works? I…"

"It is noted however that the timeout error only occurs with gps disabled. When gps is enabled waypoints can be sent."

"Hi James,
 
I was testing your latest Ardurover code, however I get operation timed out when trying to write waypoints. I am connecting via FTDI to the telemport. Have you ever tried sending waypoints via FTDI?
 
Thanks,
Junior.

"Hi James,
 
I saw on the Roadmap for APO one of the goals was to "Test rover obstacle avoidance."
Does Ardurover have obstacle avoidance? If so, how does it work and what hardware deos it use for detecting obstacles?
 
Thanks,
Junior."

"I fixed it, I changed MAVLINK_COMM_NB_HIGH to MAVLINK_COMM_3
 
however I was not able to test the code since I can't seem to upload any sketches to my board now I get an error: "avrdude: stk500_2_ReceiveMessage(): timeout" :("
