Ardupilot 2.8?

Started this discussion. Last reply by Thomas J Coyle III Sep 5, 2011. 6 Replies

May I first say how indebted I am to the DIY Drones Team for writing the code for the Ardupilot. Whilst v2.6 worked well on my Easystar when I tried v2.7 I got servo 'twitching' in stabilze mode.…Continue

I have loaded the latest code 2.5.03 (I did not try the previous 2.5 versions) and made the amendment to get the GPS lock in Manual however I am having trouble getting Arupilot to read the throttle…Continue

Printing Ardupilot Sketch Files

I have just spent about an hour trying to get a printout of the ardupliot code from the Arduino IDE. I cannot get the output to 'word wrap' so that, even using landscape format, some of the comments…Continue

I have the Ardupilot 2 (ATMega 328) board with the v2 shield. Due to space constraints (I have a camera and battery in the cockpit) I want to mount the Ardupilot where I will not be able to easily…Continue

"I am still using 2.6 with IR detectors. I found that 2.7 made the servos 'twitch' when at rest. Do you have the same problem?"

"hi everybody.   Are there any news about Ardupilot 2.8?   I know its an "old" hardware, but i don't wont to throw it again.   How about the "all in one" Ardupilot with MPU-600  IMU?   nice regards"

ModeratorChris Anderson replied to Richard Green's discussion Ardupilot 2.8?
"We're thinking about a major rewrite and just jumping to 3.0. Alternatively, we may do a minimalistic change and just move ArduPilot over to the APM libraries, which are now pretty robust and tested, as we did with ArduIMU. The problem with…"

Ardupilot 2.8?

May I first say how indebted I am to the DIY Drones Team for writing the code for the Ardupilot. Whilst v2.6 worked well on my Easystar when I tried v2.7 I got servo 'twitching' in stabilze mode. Jason thought that this was due to the amount of processing that was now being carried out and that the Ardupilot board was being pushed to the limit. He also mentioned that a new serial driver may help and that this would be incorporated in v2.8. I notice from the SVN that although v2.8 was started…See More

Richard Green replied to Michael Dean's discussion servo jitter
"I have exactly the same problem with version 2.7 (the servos are rock steady in version 2.6). I raised an issue here http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/issues/detail?id=19&can=1 concerning it. Jason thinks that it is a resource issue that can…"

Richard Green commented on jasonshort's blog post Ardupilot 2.7 Beta
"I have just loaded 2.7 beta 2 onto my Easystar. If I set SET_RADIO_LIMITS to 0 and input the limits for CH1 and CH2 then all appears well and the serial output is what I expect. However if I set SET_RADIO_LIMITS to 1 the serial output is Init…"

Richard Green replied to Scott's discussion Failsafe 2.6
"Scott, I had a similar problem with low reported values on the CH3 input line. I am using a Spektrum AR6000 receiver. Mine turned out to be the fact that the AR6000 signal line was nearer 3v than 5v. As CH3 input is on the same pin as 2 LEDs these…"

Richard Green replied to Richard Green's discussion Problems with DX6 and AR6000
"CH3 is the only channel to have an led attached as this pin was not originally designed to have a signal input. You therefore would only need a servo amp on CH3 input with receivers that do not output the full 5volts on the signal channel. If you…"

Richard Green replied to Richard Green's discussion Problems with DX6 and AR6000
"Teejay, Unless you are confident about unsoldering smd components then it may be better to take Chris Anderson's advise and by a servo amplifier. If you want to modify the board you have to remove the resister before the led connected to pin…"
