Hey fellas… New here but a come back at Ardupilot after 5 years… I recently got the idea to leave drones behind and make me self a rover for home tasks… Built a frame got motors and used a Speedy bee f7v3 ( overkill I know) set it up in an hour and got a lot of fun out of it…BUT !!! Why keep it simple… I see rtk gps works on Ardurover and why not spend too much moneys on cute antennas and a Pixhawk 6c mini and over 90 hours of reading, sweeping firmware restart,connec disconnect. After a dozen repeats , finally got motors to turn… Along the way I notice the aileron channel (1) seems to move erratically, when going left , as I slowly increase to 75% stick travel, it goes close to 50% to the right to come back 100% to the left. I redo radio calibration too many times to count and my ‘all is goooood’ mindset forgets about it… I finally got the motors turning and bench test the rover … all seems fine. Up we go in the real world and as I show my neighbour how kool I am and how this thing does zero turn … Wham the rover switches from left turnin to right turning back to turning left. After we both wiped the mud of our faces he says my face seems puzzled with wonder… Here is my latest save
Rover v 521235.param (15.5 KB)
I use a radiomaster TX16S ( hall effect joysticks) And have confirmed with 5 drones in Inav that my aileron sweep is perfect no glitches. I have no more ardupilot boards besides the Pixhawk to verify if it is the fc or my bad settings in Ardurover… Thanks for reading and trying to help !
