APM Rover AUTO MODE

@TCIII

In MIS_RESTART is 0
I clicked on to get the latest logs, and created some files in the log folder, I will compactei, and carried on a download server, follow the link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p8do8jgu8izwqvd/ultimos_logs.rar
If not for what you need, please communicate. Thanks for listening.

@Wilyan Arruda De Araujo,
MIS_RESTART should be 1 or the Rover firmware will keep trying to start over from the last waypoint that it reached rather than starting over at the first waypoint.
I would prefer that you use Google Drive for the tlogs and dataflash logs if possible.
Also, please provide pictures of your setup and the hardware that you are using and how it is connected to the Pixhawk.

Hi Willyan. I’ve looked at your log file and the parameters.
BATT_CAPACITY is set to 14? This should be set to the mAh of the battery - the default is 3300.
You have FC_GCS_ENABLE set to 1 which is fine but if you don’t have your GCS connected and running all the time the Rover will be in failsafe constantly. Just wanted to make sure you are always using your GCS.
You don’t appear to have gotten GPS lock from you log. Without a GPS lock the rover won’t know where to go.
I suggest going through the rover setup pages slowly and carefully again.

Thanks, Grant.

Hello @gmorph
thank you for attention.
I made the change in parameters.
Could you tell me what is GCS? I half lay on the subject: /

@TCIII
thanks for the help.
The following photos you asked me.

@Wilyan Arruda De Araujo,
Neither of your photo links work.
Could you just upload them as attachments?
GCS=Ground Control Station, ie: Mission Planner

sorry friend, was not accustomed to using the Google Drive tool, the internet in my area is a little bad, I tried to attach the image here however unsuccessfully … Follow the links of the images again, if not, please inform me .

@Wilyan Arruda De Araujo,
Thanks for the pictures. Unfortunately they do not do much to help understand your setup and the issues that you are having.
Have you tried running in the Auto Mode since making the corrections suggested by gmorph?

hello, @gmorph @TCIII excuse the delay to respond

I made the changes suggested by you, both in the sabertooth, as the parameters, put the FS_GCS_ENABLE to 0, because I want to not always control it connected in GCS, but nothing worked, just changed the way he had seen in manual mode, as the mix of sabertooth was disabled.

I noticed the following details:

if I turn my rover with Turnigy 9x radio already with the selector switch in the AUTO mode, it meche alone, but without guidance, sometimes it is in the same place, just tremendous.

If I first turn on the radio in manual mode, then turn on the rover, and only then put in AUTO mode, see the engines give a little “mechida” which is almost imperceptible, being seen only on the axis, and after that back pro HOLD .

can help me again?

@WillyanArruda,
I never turn my R/C transmitter on with it set to the AUTO mode.
I always turn my R/C transmitter on with it set to the MANUAL mode so that I can verify that both the throttle and steering are functional.

I never start my rover at the home waypoint and use the MANUAL mode to move it to the home waypoint and then select the AUTO mode when I am sure that I have sufficient satellites and an HDOP less than 2 for a successful run.

Using the ArduRover firmware in ways that have not been tested means that you are on your own.

@gmorph @TCIII

hello friends, I made the changes suggested by you, putting the mix of sabertooth off and also other suggestions for initiation of a mission, well, the rover worked but in AUTO mode! But without some guidance, it does not follow the planned waypoints, and sometimes it to alone, there have to restart it completely, and when it is in “AUTO” is giving many leaps, what appears is that it is really without guidance.

@WillyanArruda,
What do you have MIS_RESTART set to?
Regards,
TCIII AVD

A dataflash log file (.BIN) or a tlog would help greatly to diagnose the issue.
Thanks, Grant.

Hello friends @gmorph @TCIII

in miss_restart is the value 0

follows the latest logs.

@WillyanArruda,
With MIS_RESTART set to 0 the rover will try and start the mission from wherever it left off when it did not complete the mission every time it is put in the Auto Mode.
Setting MIS_RESTART to 1 will cause the rover to start the mission from the very start every time it is put in the Auto Mode.

@gmorph
any more solution or change that I can do?

I have more or less the same problem.

After several years copter and drone flying with my excellent performing APM 2.5 I finally switched to Pixhawk. Than I decided to rebuild an old Riding Lawnmower into a full autonomous vehicle using the good old APM 2.5.

For that on the mower I created Frontwheel steering using a windscreen wiper motor, Sabertooth Syren 25 and a pair of chain sprockets to the existing steering rod.

I started Mission Planner (latest), uploaded Rover Firmware 2.50, added APM 2.5 and 3DR GPS LEA6 and made al necessary connections.

After completing the Initial Setup and doing a number of tests everything seemed fine and I created a simple mission with 5 Waypoints.

Then I went outside and find out that the steering worked very well. The Mower moves perfectly in the Manual Mode.

However, after switching the vehicle into AUTO or RTL, it just moves forward in half circles and does’nt find or follow the waypoints. All tests for the presence of MODE’s and GPS signals are positive but the APM refuses to follow them.

Changing parameters, reading the wiki again and again, search the forums, studying the dataflash logs but nothing solves my problem. I’m desparate now (and suffering from my endless patience!)

I hope someone can help me?

Thanks in advance, Greetings from Holland

Hi Thomas,

Willyam! No mission planner vc consegue fazer ajustes nos servos apenas pela aba de ajustes? No meu tá tudo desabilitado, assim não consigo nem chegar na parte que vc tá no início do tópico kkk outra coisa, sobre parâmetros a maioria dos parâmetros pra solução de problemas simples assim não existe na lista que tenho aqui, aconteceu aí com vc também? eu fico achando que é pq tô com hardware e firmware muito antigo… enfim desculpa não poder ajudar
