The same problem exists on the F303-Matek on the M8Q-CAN and M9N-CAN where GPS, Baro and Compass datas are displayed in the Missionplanner in contrast to airspeed. Airspeed values however are also displayed in UAVCAN Inspector.
Both on a Pixhawk 1 and a Matek H743 with current stable fimrware.
SUPPLEMENT:
The airspeed is also not displayed at OSD ( neither OSD1_ASPEED, OSD1_ASPD1 nor OSD1_ASPD2).
Which GNSS module(s)? Several off the shelf UAVCAN capable units expose the RGB LED as an AP_Notify device. In order to enable it, you need to add “UAVCAN” to the NTF_LED_TYPES mask. Is that what you are referring to?
Sorry, I should have replied to my own post, I was using the modules for testing mentioned earlier. (Holybro F9P, Holybro M8N, Here 2 in I2C mode) and a Cube Orange.
As Firmware I have used F303-GPS as well as F303-Universal
NTF led is set to 231 in Ardupilot and a Here 3 directly on CAN1 has also working LEDs
But I don’t get any LED response from any of the GNSS modules tested with the CAN Node.
Is there any other setting I have to set/change in the CAN Node? (The only parameter that I can find is LED brightness)
I have several mro nodes I’d like to start using to control some ESCs. Is it possible to control more than one esc with a single node or do I have to have a node per esc? wasn’t sure if I have say 3 GPIO if I could assign each pin an esc/servo output?
So I have this correct I assume I have to somehow flash my F303 based MRO node with a firmware that I build that tells the board to use the GPIO pins for esc,s?
On the ardupilot GitHub I can see there is a f303-HWESC with hwdef.dat file. This seems to have “define HAL_PERIPH_ENABLE_HWESC” but I don’t understand how I define the pins to use? Or how to tell this node I want it to be esc 1,2,3 and a 2nd node be 4,5,6?
@tridge thanks, so I need servo output then. I assume HAL_PERIPH_ENABLE_RC_OUT is what I need? And I need to assign pins somehow in hwdef when I build the firmware.
as I can’t find this documented anywhere I have a question concerning MSP (as I know, it works with CAN): Is DGNSS with NTRIP possible via MSP? If yes, is that also supported by ArduPilot as master?
Hi, i just tried to update an M9N-F4-3100 firmware but probably I messed up something becasue I cannot receive anymore GPS signals. which is the proper firmware to upload on it for using as an externa GPS CAN connected to an H743 FC?
Thanks
Andrea
Yes, I can upload the fw but it is not working properly. I just received and indication from the producer and they sent me a “AP_Periph_with_bl_M9N-F4.hex” that indicated me to be from the AP_Periph 1.2
Later in the day I’ll try to install it and check the difference in behaviour than the 1.3 version.
