When downloading and compiling ArduPlane using the instructions here:
http://ardupilot.org/dev/docs/building-px4-for-linux-with-make.html#building-px4-for-linux-with-make
Everything seems to function and output just fine, except for the airspeed sensor reading which stays at a constant 63.1. Covering the pitot tube or blowing into it, 63.1. I was asking if there is a way to fix this or if the ardupilot github is causing an issue here.
please ask in the arduplane forum.
While this is definitely a plane issue the most normal reason for this is bad airspeed health (no data from sensor, so the indicated airspeed settles on a weird ratio). However the GCS should be able to show a bad airspeed health at this point based on the status bits, is MP doing this?
Not at all. If I simply install the ArduPlane fireware straight from Mission Planner or APM Planner 2.0 it picks up the airspeed sensor just fine. It only flatlines the airspeed after I install the complied version from online.
Moved the topic to ArduPlane.
I’m afraid you lost me. Where are you getting the firmware from that isn’t working?
