I want to make an agricultural drone with Pixhawk 1. There is no progress in the sprayer scheme. I have a pump with esc for pump. Could you tell me how to connect to Pixhawk?
Hi @UPstone Sir,
Please follow this https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/sprayer.html#enabling-the-sprayer.
If any doubts, please share your pump circuit.
Thanks and regards
Mohan
DO_SPRAYER commands are now fully supported in missions (4.1.0-dev)
@amilcarlucas sir regarding DO_SPRAYER is there any wiki. if there please share me sir. i am also Search in wiki.
Thanks and regards
Mohan
No, no wiki yet. You``ll have to wait until 4.1.0 gets released.
Thanks for the interest.
I connected pump esc to aux1.
SPRAY_ENABLE 1
SERVO9_FUNCTION 22
RC9_OPTION 15
The pump is not working.
When the pump esc is connected to the receiver, the pump is operated.
How can I connect to aux1 and operate the pump?
is there any estimated release date for 4.1 stable ?
@UPstone If you are using ArduCopter 4.1.0-dev you need to activate the pump using a mavlink command or a mission command. Manual activation with RC9 is not possible when you select SERVO9_FUNCTION = 22
If you are using ArduCopter 4.0.7 then you should set SERVO9_FUNCTION = 1
And you must manually control it.
No, No date yet, but the beta testing should start soon.
The OpenTx guys have the best answer to that question. “No”
servo9_function 1 is “Rc pass thru” … right?
Depends on which fw version you use
I use 4.0.5
4.0.5 servo9_fuction 1 is RCpass Thru
and function 22 sprayer pump menu does not appear.
