Before Posting an Issue

Hi All,

Before posting an issue or a problem in the ArduBoat 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.

    @RS,

    Hi Everyone, I am reading up on mission planner commands and it is saying that "Loiter" is not functional in APM "Rover". Is this correct?

    Cheers,

    Richard,  On the full parameter list change FS_ACTION.  The options are described there I believe.

    Can someone please tell me where to find info on how to change the "loss of radio signal" Failsafe from "HOLD" to "RTL"?

    Cheers,

    Richard.

    @OwlPic - I'm testing re making EKF2 the default for Rover/Boat and this will resolve the "boat arming" issue.  I am targeting the next release for this.

    Thanks, Grant.

    Looks like OpenROV has been bitten by the RTR ROV bug.

    The early bird Kickstarter special of $599 will not be deliverable until Nov 2016 and we all know how Kickstarter delivery dates can slip, slip, slip:-)

    Anyone using Pixhawk APM stack on a boat. Found it impossible to arm because the Pixhawk must be held very still for a few seconds before it will allow arming.

New to boats looking for a hull suggestion

Hello allI have played around with fixed-wing drones before but am new to boats. I am looking to build a simple boat for the purpose of inspecting a heavily timbered section of river that it is hard to get a manned boat into and am looking for some suggestions on where to start. I don't need a sounder or overly accurate GPS (but both would be good to have). I would really like a high-resolution camera in a dome housing or similar that I could control and take photos with.

Rudder control for kontiki

Hi all,I want to install a rudder on to my kontiki, which is like a submarine which floats on the surface and takes a fishing line out to sea.I am thinking of using an apm 2.8 with gps (because thats what i have) to drive a 20kg servo. The gps should point at a point about 3km out from the beach and the kontiki should follow that course until the timer turns off.I would be grateful for any advise how to go about this.

How to connect 2 Brushless Motors and 1 rudder

Hi, I'm new to Pixhawk. I'm making a boat. I do have 2 brushless motor with ESC and 1 servo which is connected to the rudder. How can I connect them to the Pixhawk 2.4.8. What changes should I bring in the parameters? From readings, I come to know that servo should be connected to RC1 and motor to RC3. But what should I do when I have 2 motors, which are kept in both the ends. Thank you
