Hi All,
Before posting an issue or a problem in the ArduRover Discussion Forum, please check the wiki table of contents, review the firmware release notes in the subforum, and search that subforum for existing answers to your question. Help avoid duplicate threads by finding other members with the same issue and their solution.
When formulating your post, use a descriptive title such as "rover will not navigate to waypoints in the Auto mode" (not "HELP!" or "Problem").

Hi, i am looking to build a new rover, but i need some advice on the chassis. I like the 4wd chassis/tank look and prefer it over the crawler/rc look.are those any good though? most people recommend crawlers.I am looking to get something from banggood, any advice will be highly appreciated. thanks
Read more…Hi all, I have a skid steer robot using a pixhawk cube, one 1x15 roboclaw motor controller and a dagu wild thumper 4 wheel chassis. I have skid steering working so far, testing motor c and motor d tests works as described and the vehicle can be controlled in manual mode. However, upon using any mode other than manual mode the rover wants to shake and pivot on the spot, and it seems the steering PID controller oscillates and these oscillations get larger. i have tried everything but it is still…
Read more…Hi,I have converted a Traxxas X-Maxx into a rover using the Pixhawk Cube 2 controller kit with a Here GNSS.I swapped out the original X-Maxx remote controller for an X6R receiver and Taranis QX7 radio.latest version of ArduRover firmware installed as of 8/11/18. The rover has an EZRun Max6 ESC. The problem now is the ESC control over the transition into reverse. The ESC is currently set to it's Running Mode Option 2: "Forward/Reverse with Break", AKA the "Double Click Method".What this mode…
Read more…Hi all.I know this is an Adurover group, but Thought I would reach out and try my odds for some help as I'm perplexed by this problem. I have a Traxxas X-Maxx set up with a Pixhawk Cube 2.1 and the Here GPS. I'm using a Tarranis X7 remote controller and a X8R Sbus Receiver. I'm using QGroundControl with the latest, Pixhawk 1.8.0 Firmware with the Generic Rover airframe profile installed. As instructed, I have Steering servo wired into Main 2 and Throttle ESC wired into Main 4. Sensors are…

@Jimmie,
Nice to have you aboard as #40. Too bad we are not all 30 again.

Hello all. Looks like I made it #40.I have not been 40 in 30.
Built a tracked vehicle and used a BS2 to control it. Autonomous of course. No GPS. Ultrasonic, IR, and Tactile. Later I purchased some vision software but never got around to using it. Now I am interested in using the APM with mission planner on a RC Boat and a new rover I am starting to design.
Hi All,
We are continuing to grow as a Group. Almost 30 members!

Yeah, I hear you!
A lot of stuff going together to make an autonomous 'bot.
I'm building a 'bot for Robomagellan, and I'd like to have it going by next April so that it can compete in the next Robogames here on the CA coast!
Hard part is deciding when to stop adding stuff; I'm hoping to put a LiDAR on. And I'm building my own mechanics using just the Traxxas wheels and suspension parts. Skid-steer, with two PWM driven DC servo motors.
A LOT of information, trick is finding it all and digesting it.

dont worry i am trying to let my airplane fly autonomously for almost 2 years now ;)
i use apmrover to get all the needed things together first and sort the common mistakes out.
im new into rc planes and vehicles. only made a few simple arduino projects at home before someone send me a link to diydrones.com ;)
im very encouraged to get my plane in the air soon since the rover works well.
have just so much fun with my toys and i can dig into the code now to make my ideas reality should work also for you :)
i think i can benefit from reading through the most of the arduplane documentation wiki, there is alot information on almost every topic you may stumble on.
have fun!
Hi Linus,
Thanks for the link!
Looks like I'm not quite ready for all of that yet. But it's nice to know it can be done.
Alan
Hi Alan,
uhh, i think the connection between HIL-plugin for aerosmrc and apm planner works with UDP connection, i have no clue if it will work with phoenix.
must say that i am not an expert nor a developer.
maybe this link is more useful

Linus
Thanks Linus!
Do the two packages then connect via DLL? I don't suppose the mission planner will link with just any sim, like Phoenix?
Alan
Hi,
you should connect the apm with an reciever on one side and an ftdi cable to your computer.
In the planner you can select the sim tab and if you connect this will be the bridge between the planner and aerosim.
the setup is similar to arducopter-aerosimrc described here:
https://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/TradHeliHIL
Have Fun!
Thanks for the link!
So how do the APM Planner and Aerosim software packages talk to each other? (I think I'm missing something here).
Alan
