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…

@emile,
Have you checked the Advanced View box at the bottom of the Planner window in the Config/Tuning Tab?

I have put this on the APM forum, but got no replies, so here goes...
In MP 1.2.99 > config > full param list and using the drop down list on the right hand side of the screen:
Selecting 3DR_rover, beginner, intermediate, or advanced and then clicking the load params button, I get nothing but a blank screen. Other selections do show some params.
I uninstalled and re-installed MP and got same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
@TCIII
Please don't worry. I know someone will get around to it. I just enjoy fiddling with parameters.
@RoboBill,
The undocumented parameters may have EKF in the parameter name. If so, then they are for use by the firmware when EKF is enabled. Are you using a Pixhawk as EKF only works on a Pixhawk.
As far as the skid steering not being functional, I wish that I could help you out, but I no longer have any skid steering rovers around. I had two, but they belonged to some clients I was working for and they have gone to their respective owners.
What symptoms are you seeing with the nonfunctioning skid steering code? About a week ago one of my clients loaded a v2.45 beta version onto his Wild Thumper and it appeared to work okay. Whatever has changed, must have happened over the last week

Yes I checked that and it was set at 1. I also saw a whole bunch of undocumented parameters... way cool.
@RoboBill,
Did you make sure in the Full Parameter List that Skid_Steer_Out was still set to 1?

Not sure where to put this so...
Just for fun and to learn more, I tried the latest rover firmware and it appears the skid steering is not working. So I went back to the 2.45 with skid working. NBD
I don't care, this is a decent quality 5 ch that I can afford with a 3 position switch. Much better than my alt at hobbyking. As soon as possible, I am buying one.
Havent even bought the new RC, an am already to get the radio....lol
