Hi all, I have on the bench a couple of Anyleaf CAN Control Receivers that I’m setting up on Cube Orange. Having some issues with a few things that I’d rather not mention right off.
Just want to know if anyone other than Dev’s is using a CAN RX (I think Anyleaf is the only one) with 100% success ?
(i.e. the Cube see’s normal TX channels through it and it’s stable).
I guess I’m the first to try this…
I have contacted Anyleaf via email but did not get a response back.
In case somebody has some info in future I’ll relate the issues with the AL CAN RX.
Firstly there is a comms reliability issue where the Anyleaf RX needs a power cycled if the Pixhawk is soft rebooted (like needed after some parameter changes). Getting the CAN data back requires the RX to be unplugged from the CAN bus and reconnected. Tricky if the RX is buried deep in an airframe.
The other issue is that the radio calibration produces an unexpected radio channel calibration range values in mission planner that are not the usual 1000uS for sticks low to 2000uS for sticks high. I get approx 174 to 1811 on all channels, and this makes setting the 6 flight modes impossible without customising the switch curves to use just the top half of that range. This may be a ‘feature’ of CAN RX but if so it’s not documented any place I can find yet…
