  • Thanks!!

    i have my fingers crossed ,till i see it get a lock i wont know if i fixed it, was raining last night so i wasnt going outside, now i wont be home till tommorow to try it , My APC220  telemetry radios came in today tho,  so its going to be neat seeing whats coming from the AP for debugging my probslems (if it will tell me anything)

  • Charles, lucky you with the 406.  I know mine could be fixed if I knew what burns out when it gets reverse polarity.  It's probably a diode or maybe a regulator and then I'd need to find the right ones, pay for shipping, might as well get the Ublox.

    As for the hex file, here it's compiled to run EM406 on version 2 IMUarduimu.cpp.hex

  • looks like i lucked out when i took all the shields off it and the ant, and didnt damage any parts or traces , the red lights on like normal again :D

  • can someone please rewrite the sketches in hex from before with the em406 included this time? thanks!

  • damn i spent a while soldering and put my em406 back together was not fun

    but guess what? ..its working!!!! yaaay

     

  • Brian, I am using V8FR-HV receiver from FrSky. I have added 2.4GHz module to my radio, keeping the MHz also by using an additional toggle switch.

    Charles, I am using FMA CoPilot (without Z sensor) available from revolectrix (the old version) and it is not very expensiv.

Manual for Ardupilot Mega 1.0/1.4

Hi, I have a couple of the older APM boards.  I stopped flying for a few years and kind of lost touch with them.Trying to get back into the hobby now and I've discovered that all the instructions for the old boards are no longer available!  The boards do seem to be working and can be connected to Mission Planner. Could someone please assist by directing me to where the relevant legacy manual can be viewed/downloaded?Thanks so much...

ArduPilot w/ ATMega328 boards & ArduIMU+ V3 kit

Hi there I bought a couple ArduPilot w/ ATMega328 boards a few years back, but didn't get to use them .... work got in the way! I'm still keen to do something with them -- using an IMU set-up - but now that ArduIMU+ V2 (Flat) is no longer available/produced (understandably as much as changed since I bought my boards) it seems that 3D Robotics Inc's ArduIMU+ V3 kit (or the board from SparkFun) is the only IMU available. However, I have read that it isn't compatible with the ArduPilot legacy…

Arming Problem with Ardupilot Mega1.4

I am new to this group. I was using Ardupilot Mega 1.4 for my Quad and it was working reasonably well. I made some frame modification and programmed the board with APM Planner 1.2.67. Then the accelerometer caliberation, radio caliberation completed successfully. But when I tried to arm the quad it was not getting armed. I tried almost every thing I know but could not get it armed, some thing is going wrong.Can anybody help me?
