Configuring the servo output in a skid two paddles configuration

[Yoav_Englisher]

I have a problem configuring the servo output in a skid two paddles configuration.

Mission Planer 13.75 build 1.3.77893.12317 ArduRover v4.00 I am using

Orange cube

On the Radiomaster TX16 S channel, 01 is Ai channel 03 is Thr.

The servo configuration is in the parameters:

SERVO1_FUNCTION = 73 (Throttle Left)

SERVO3_FUNCTION = 74 (Throttle Right)

PILOT_STEER_TYPE = 0 (I have also tried =1)

MOT_PWM_TYPE=0

I thought that the Pitch and the Throttle of the radio will control the motors as a skid.

I fact the radio output that controls the servo output is the Throttle and Roll.

But not like a skid two paddles. The Throttle controls the two motors in parallel and the Roll is controlling the two motors in opposite directions (steering the rover)

Try PILOT_STEER_TYPE=1 and then map your roll axis to the pitch stick. I’m not certain, but I think that may help (based on the behavior described in the thread linked below).

Weird behavior in tracked vehicle when STEER_TYPE=1

@DIOSITO, Looks like you’re making good progress. If set PILOT_STEER_TYPE = 1 and then try to control the vehicle, then download a log and post it here then we can have a look. It’s a guess but I suspect that the RCx_TRIM values are incorrect (they should normally be about 1500) and/or one of the channels is reversed.
