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…

ArduRover_v230_firmware.zip
Hi All,
For those of you who want to compile and use the latest ArduRover V2.30 alpha code, here is what you need to do:
1) Download the ArduPilot version of the Arduino IDE 1.0.3 per the link provided by Linus below.
2) Run the ArduPilot IDE 1.0.3 and, using "ArduPilot" in the header bar, select the correct HAL Board from the drop down menu. Then restart the ArduPilot IDE.
3) Load in the latest V2.30 Sketch. The ArduRover Sketch code must reside in the same root directory as the ArduPilot IDE.
4) There is no need to define your APM configuration anywhere in the ArduRover code. The HAL Board drop down menu will do it for you.
5) Now run the compiler and you should have no problem with the compile. Don't forget that the lastest ArduPilot libraries must be in the same Sketch folder as the ArduRover2 folder: ie ArduRover_v230_firmware/ArduRover2 and ArduRover_v230_firmware/libraries. Remember, ArduRover_v230_firmware must be in the same root directory as the ArduPilot IDE.
Hope this helps.

TCIII
Hi,
there is a hardware-flow diagram of ardupilot here:
http://diydrones.ning.com/forum/topics/ardupilot-program-flow-diagr...
I'm not sure if it helps further because the rover code is probably revised in the future and Differs from plane code.
but there is an option to print your own diagram with Visual Studio 2012.
you may find information on how to do that here:
http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=123193.0

Hello everyone,
I was woundering if there is a logic diagram for the APMrover code. I believe that such a diagram can help me follow the code a little better.
Linus,
Like everything new and undocumented, I'm a little confused. I couldn't find in APM_Config.h the normal hardware board directive:
#define CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE APM_HARDWARE_APM2
And I couldn't find the new:
#define CONFIG_HAL_BOARD HAL_BOARD_APM2
So I put this last command in APM_Config.h. Is it supposed to get set in the IDE?
It compiles successfully with the #define in APM_Config.h. I will try it out later today.
Thanks again for your help.

thats correct. it is new and because of the porting of ArduCopter, ArduPlane and APMrover for other Hardware i think.
Regards,
Linus
Linus. That worked Thanks!
I guess this new "HAL Board" handling is new? Is that why we need a modified version of the IDE now?
Thanks again.
Lloyd
@ Lloyd:
I am using the "ArduPilot-Arduino-1.0.3-windows" IDE and it compiles correctly here.
You have to get the modified Arduino-IDE here:
http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/downloads/detail?name=ArduP...
select you board from ArduPilot menue and you should be fine.
Regards,
Linus
Thomas,
I have been unable to compile ArduRover v230 firmware.zip using the Arduino IDE 1.0.3. ArduRover v220 firmware compiles just fine. Is there a trick to compiling ths version?
Thanks!
