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…

Thanks for the bug alert... So is there a preferred sub forum where we can report problems with a latest firmware version(s) and also make suggestions?
Thanks
The blank screen you see is because your current params are the same as the ones you are loading. I think. It's a compare params screen.
Try changing something, say WP_Radius, write to APM/Pix, then try loading from the dropdown again. The WP_Radius change should be there, showing the change you made as current, and the loaded params WP_RADIUS as the change.

I too have run across this issue. What forum/group is the best place to ask questions and submit suggestions for the mission planners(s)?
Thank you Thomas. Yes I have advanced view checked but still get same results.
Here is a screen shot:
My assumption, which is probably wrong, is that by selecting the rover.params I would get only those params that apply to a rover.
What is the best way to modify parms? Work from beginner to Advanced or work through the full param list?
Thanks
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.
Yes I checked that and it was set at 1. I also saw a whole bunch of undocumented parameters... way cool.
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
@TCIII
This channel 5 switch "upgrade" makes me wonder what other undocumented changes were made to the DX5e line and other Spektrum models...
