Yeah, I’ve been trying to get my project (3D printed Flying wing drone) off the ground for the last few months, the mechanical has been finished for quite a while but i simply cannot get the testing to work. So whats my setup: Pixhawk 6c, PM07 and a bunch of other peripherals but this is the main trouble..
The pixhawk software has been struggling since the start, reloading PX4 multiple times, each time with different issues, mainly “missing param, faulty software or compatability”… not the same ones, but always at least a few. I’ve tried with q groundcontrol, mission planner. I got PX4 to work somewhat, for motors and servos after finding one version of the load that was less bugged, but then when trying to create the code for my raspberry co-computer it continued to give “missing params” and being impossible to interact with. SO i swapped to ardupilot.
AND (behind a wall of text trying to explain my frustration) I have found that arduplane seem to have the EXACT same issue (probably something else but seems strange that installing software would result in different errors each time…), Missing params in QGroundcontrol, and the servos will not interact, they are powered, connected on fmu pwm 1-8, powered separatly, i know the hardware works since it has worked in parts of the testing.
Part of the project is also to run without rc, and px4 does not have options to run without RCs anymore it seems… (another thing I’ve found, the full parameters list is missing items that are on the documentation…) Currently running 4.5.7
I’ve tried different versions, all with the same type of problem some amount of missing params / incompatability, Testing verisons, beta, old, nothing seems to actually make a significant difference… Managed to get the “servo output” config in ardupilot to actually display position that tries to update with “stabilise mode” and functionality set, but firstly only servo 1-8 worked for the “position”, rest was constantly 0. Just now i somehow got 9 and 10 to show up aswell, no interaction with the servos on any of them.
I’ve tried replugging swapping all cables, all servos, power is good, PM07 - pixhawk is connected via the fmu pwm in/out… It feels like it should be the simplest part of the project, but I have gotten completly stuck.
Thank you for assistance and response in advance!!!
