I just got my ArduPilot and when I try to upload code, Arduino says it can't find easystar.hIn the manual it discusses a path to put this file in on a PC, but that directory structure does not exist…Continue

Haha! I cursed myself. Bricked an Xbee on Saturday, can you believe it?

Hmmm... I haven't has a single bricking in about 20 power ups. (knock on wood)

Darro Lin replied to Darro Lin's discussion 'Zigbee Bricking?'

no, just have not needed to. I will try the latest ArduPlane code and see if that helps.

Hi Martin, I don't understand your comment. I am also using the XtreamBee Board sold by diydrones. The issues is that the zigbee modules are being bricked quite frequently on power up by the ArduPilotMega 1.4 board running ArduPlane 2.24…

I have upgraded my Bee's in the past with no problem. I got them from digi direct. The base is from DIY works perfect with it.

Chris Anderson replied to Darro Lin's discussion 'Zigbee Bricking?'

I can't remember. Any reason why you haven't upgraded?

Darro Lin replied to Darro Lin's discussion 'Zigbee Bricking?'

I'm using ArduPlane 2.24, so I'm a few revisions behind. Was there a specific software fix since then? (I have been assuming it was a hardware issue like a weak pull-up or so...)

Chris Anderson replied to Darro Lin's discussion 'Zigbee Bricking?'

Yes, it's not an issue with APM 2. Very few people see the issue with APM 1 anymore, either. Are you using the latest code?

Zigbee Bricking?

Hi All,I have ArduPilotMega 1.x hardware and I have repeated problems with bricking zigbee modules that are connected when powering up (about 1 out of 4 power ups will brick my zigbee). I have seen suggestions to keep the zigbee unplugged until ArduPilotMega is powered up and then plug in zigbee. This is a pain in the butt!I assume the problem is somehow in signals to the zigbee boot loader when powering up.So my questions are: Is this problem solved in ArduPilotMega 2 hardware? Or even…See More

Darro Lin replied to Joel Zyla's discussion 'TX manual control with APM and elevons.'

After some further thinking and tinkering, I think both functions are working as intended. There should be some clarification added to the wiki for those trying to set up a elevon system: Once manual control is setup correctly…

Hi Chris, Thanks for the help. I'm using APM 2.2.0. I took a look at the output mixing in set_servos_4() and the input mixing in read_radio(). I believe these functions should be the exact inverse of each…

Darro Lin replied to Joel Zyla's discussion 'TX manual control with APM and elevons.'

I am facing this exact same problem: RC Transmitter is setup with elevon mixing and manual flying is working well. APM is set for elevon mixing and channel reversing such that full AUTO works well. When I switch to STABILIZE or FBW_A…

looks great. Can you share the details of your FPV setup? Do you use the goPro as FPV somehow?

I just set this up on my iMac with OS 10.5.8 and I have the exact same problem!

Question about Ardupilot Mega: It is currently listed in the store shipping with the Atmel 1280. I thought I read there would be an update to the Atmel chip soon? Is this true, if so when? Thanks!

Congrats on many exciting achievements in 2010! Can you comment on plans for new hardware and software projects for 2011?

I noticed that you are using an Apple Mac to programme your boards for the Ardu autopilot. Would it be possible for you share your experiences with me?

Thanks.
