And I got another surprise. The board I have is called “H7A3-SLIM”
It connects to MP, has Plane Ardupilot on it, etc, but when try to update it either to Plane 4.5.7 or Copter 4.5.7, MP says that this board is not supported.
I looked at supported boards, and effectively, only H743-SLIM is supported.
But how there is software loaded on this, H7A3 board?
If you want to try out another full featured board at a good price that is supported in Beta, TBS Lucid H7. Waiting for some builders to try one. I’m not building anything right now or I would.
Did that, seems that there is no easy way around, i.e. some suggest that one has to recompile ardupilot copter to run them, but I am not sure if that is related to not having the option SCR_ENABLE.
What I am not getting:
if I have SCR_ENABLE in the parameters, that means that one can run scripts.
if I have some flash memory. I assume if I can upload the LUA scripts to the correct folder, they would run
But I ran into the issue the Mission Planner does not allow for some reason to upload anything using MAVFTP.
You can’t upload to onboard flash in current firmware.
The only solution is building the firmware with the scripts embedded in ROMFS. If that is too complex a task, then you are out of luck with that board.
Just a quick question, compiling from scratch copter ardupilot using Raspberry Pi is a good or bad idea? I tried to setup the thing to run on windows with VLS, ran into issues, and I do not have a normal Linux computer, just a bunch of Pi’s
Thanks a lot, I was able to upload files to the /scripts subdirectory via MAVFTP of Mission Planner, so I assume that once I upload the scripts, they will run now.
I have tried to upload 4.6 beta from custom firmware builder, but MP mavftp does not allow to upload any sketches, and only the 4.7 Dev has the option to opload
