APM Planner on Mac and SIK V2 Telemetry not working

Riccardo · April 11, 2016, 4:29pm

Hi all,

my setup is a 3DR Pixhawk with arducopter 3.3.3, APM Planner 2.0.20 and 3baea558-2.0.20-13-g3baea55 on a Macbook Pro 13 early 2015 with 10.11.3 OS.

I have two V2 SIK telemetry radios (3DR clones) which can link each other (solid green LED) and can download settings to APM Planner SW.

Connecting the MavLink I have a successful connection (upper right green link) but the radio doesn’t download parameters from the FCU.

Do you know what could be the issue?

Thanks.

I had a problem with 3.2.1 where telemetry was not updating when doing powering up my quad. It only worked after connect/disconnect from APM.

Two things I did:

Put in telemetry delay of 10 seconds in the parameters. This got voltage some things displaying but voltage and gps was not updating.
Downgraded to 3.2 and now telemetry works.

Now I changed the Telem1 bus back and forth to Mavlink-FrSKY-Mavlink, and it works well on Mac and APM Planner daily release.
