Before Posting an Issue

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").

Please include the following information to help diagnose your query:

  • Describe the problem you are having. What is the expected verses the observed behavior?
  • Provide hardware information such as the brand and version of your autopilot, GPS, radio, and compass, as well as any other pertinent details about your rover setup.
  • What version of the APM: ArdurRover2 firmware version are you running?
  • For navigation issues, provide your tlog and/or dataflash log. Click here for instructions on retrieving a dataflash log.

    About My EcoRover and due to the fact the solar rover is a specific discussion  I think it is better to have a dedicated threads.

    My EcoRover

    Now my Rover has the solar option.

    It is a modular concept and easy to change. So the panel can easily be removed.

    The solar panel feeds a 2S LiPo battery with 2 X 6V and 0.940 amp.

     

    More details soon.

    Thanks Chris.

    I haven't yet added the rover brain to my truck, but I'm wondering if the code could handle a couple of interesting features:

    1) front and rear wheel steering, in case extra-tight turns or crab-walking is necessary for manoeuvres,

    2) DIG (mostly rear wheel), which is the ability to lock the rear wheels from turning, making turns ultra tight.

    Also with DIGs, they sometimes include a half-way setting which disengages the rear drive shafts giving front-wheel-drive instead of 4wd, but I'm not sure that would be beneficial or relevant.

    Just curious, thanks for the awesome work!

    And you'll probably want two, so your rover can turn the right way away from obstacles

    We use the Maxbotix 1240

    Just realized that's an IR sensor. Which ones are you using?

    Oh, and are you using two at the moment or just one? SparkFun has a sale going on for a few more days so I wanted to pick one or two up while I can.

skid steer vehicle steering uncontrollable

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…

Traxxas X-Maxx ROVER ESC advice

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…

Help! No throttle or steering response!

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…
