  • A demonstration of how to use Mission Planner's Motor Test page to test that a Skid Steering rover's motors are spinning in the correct direction. I then go on to explain how to compensate for the ESC/Motors deadzone using the THR_MIN parameter.

    Super useful video. I will be referring folks to this in the future! When I used the linear actuators with control boards which made them act as servos, I went into the control board configuration and disabled the deadband. I did not know you could do it in Ardupilot. Thanks so much.

    Did not know you can compensate for the deadzone in AR, great thanks!

    Great video tutorial! In addition to scouring rc forums for a nice sailboat every night, I'll be looking for a rover chassis to mess around with too!

    Hi, loved your video and explanation. I had a question about the use of the 433mhz 3dr telemetry modem. Can i use it to send and control my rover via rc signals? Like using the ardupilot on my laptop but control it via rc signals from the transmitter module?

      Hi RiO, Thanks! I'm not sure that I totally understand the setup but we have instructions for setting up joysticks here on the wiki ardupilot.org/rover/docs/common-joystick.html . By the way, if possible the support forums are the best place to ask general support questions discuss.ardupilot.org/c/ardurover/rover43/168

    Thank you. Does the waypoint drive work well with the parameter you sent me?
    According to the parameter you sent, there is no pilot_steer_type setting. Is it possible to do a pivot turn in this state?

    Great video! But I have some questions. What kind of motors and driver are you use? We are planning to use brushed DC motors and drive them with L298N motor driver. Can we control them via Mission Planner and Pixhawk?

      Hi Yasin. In general it is best to ask support questions here in the forums: discuss.ardupilot.org/c/ardurover/rover-4-0/154. I don't think ArduPilot supports using the L298N motor driver because we have an open issue here for it: github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/7616. By the way, the "Pixhawk" is just one of the many autopilots that ArduPilot supports. A nearly complete list can be found here: ardupilot.org/rover/docs/common-autopilots.html

    Im working with the pixhawk ( for the BlueROV) and Im trying to integrate two brushed dc motors to it (using the Pololu G2 High-Power Motor Driver 18v17. Online it says this motor driver supports "BrushedWithRelay" does this method also use PWM? or is that just for the normal mode. Some of the documentation online is a little ambiguous (atleast to me)

      Hello, could you ask about autopilots here in the Rover forums? discuss.ardupilot.org/c/ardurover/8 . Which autopilot to use comes up a lot and so might as well ask the wider community for their input.

      Hi David, if possible it is best to post general support questions in the forums here discuss.ardupilot.org/c/arducopter/copter-45/174 . Re reversing, normally a centered throttle is used and you can just pull the throttle stick down to make the vehicle reverse.

    command is denied by ArduPilot ,any solutions?

    • @rmackay9
      @rmackay9  2 года назад

      Hi @Hasnain, if the motor test commands are being rejected this means the vehicle cannot be armed. Make sure the vehicle is in Manual mode and then check the messages to see if there is a reason given for why the vehicle can't be armed. If Mission Planner is being used then check the Data screen's Messages tab. By the way, we can do better support in the Rover-4.x support channels on discord. discuss.ardupilot.org/c/ardurover/rover42/162 . Thanks for using AP!

      @@azipsify In general it is best to ask support questions in the ArduPilot rover forum: discuss.ardupilot.org/c/ardurover/rover-4-0/154. The PILOT_STEER_TYPE parameter controls how the pilot's **inputs** are processed. It actually has no direct relation to how the vehicle's throttle and steering outputs are controlled.

      Hi Wouter, I don't think it is super helpful to try and apply my parameter file unless you're using an AION Robotics R1. If you're seeing problems with the vehicle could you post in the discuss forums? Ideally with an onboard log and then we can have a look. discuss.ardupilot.org/c/ardurover/rover-41/158
