Im using ardupilot rover for a ackerman steering model. rear differential connected to a brushed motor and controlled by brushed motor driver, connected to MAIN3 and front steering connected to MAIN1,testing using a servo motor). Servo 1 out as Ground steering and Servo 3 as throttle, while, its receives rc signals and displays and also displaying on actuator window too.But motors are not working, voltages, power and signal connections are working when connected to PX4 firmware, and setup there. Any method to solve the issue ?
Is it Armed? Throttle won’t work if isn’t, steering will.
have you disabled the safety switch?
this worked, The issue was actually with the ground control software. I have checked with a different device and it worked fine. Currently working to combine optical flow and motor resolution readings for navigation without GPS.
Yes, I have disabled it, the issue has been with the ground control softwre, it wa keeping some data in cache and every device I have been plugging into that updates those data and all of the FC modules had same issue over.
Its now working. Anyways now theres an issue when the vehicle is disarmed, theres a throttle out. Since this is a rover, im keeping it armed when connected all the time. Else the drive motor will start spinning (idle rpm value) everytime i disarm the FC.
