If you do not know, it's not a very big com1, the port number can be determined empirically.
I'm hopeful the phrase "they can't be bricked" is true.Plotter, if the plotter has a connection setup via COM port, these settings need to write - in the future we need them.Īctually i do have a serial port but the cable supplied with the cutter is wrong. Isn't there a more intense recovery routine for these boards? Seems like I've seen one somewhere. It sat there all night.Third time in a row. It loads and erases ok but the flashing bar only goes to 1/4 bar and stops. is that acceptable or do I rearrange the 405 output connections to work with the radio calibrations page channels? Seems like They can't all be correct. Right now i have all the radio outputs moving to the correct outputs of the 405 but that makes the channels show up in the wrong places in the radio calibration page. Motor test page is not active, all the boxes are grayed out. Next I am going to pull the board off the test plate and verify all the solder connections.so weird, like something just turned off.
GPS_AUTO_CONFIG and GPS_AUTO_SWITCH are both on 1. That can be disabled, decreased, or increased to your liking.Īny tips on getting the GPS to show up? I've tried 5 different GPS modules, some frome working planes, and never a sat on the screen of Ardupilot. Of, by default the motors will spin (slowly) when armed. I'd go make and enable the need to arm and do arming checks after doing your motor checks. it's always armed.might be Arming_Enabled or something like that. You can also disable the need to arm, i.e.
You have to ARM the FC via either stick command (low throttle and full right yaw for several seconds) or by setting up a channel to arm by a switch. If you want to run them via Tx throttle then yeah, Arming checks to 0. You can do a motor test in the Initial Setup, Optional Hardware, Motor Test. It's smart enough to figure that out on its own. Much appreciated.Īrdupilot accepts PPM or SBus inputs. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Vantasstic. Is there anything like that for the F405? Ardupilot is so much better with descriptions than INAV but there are still hundreds of settings. You just loaded Custom Firmware and it worked. Years ago when I was buying APMs from 3DR there were templates for different airplanes that had all the settings worked out. That should turn off all arming in Ardupilot, right? So if that is 0 if it won't spin the props it's in radio setup? I'm using a Taranis so there are lots of things to set wrong.
I've never run SBUS on Ardupilot so does it know it's connected through SBUS without setting anything in CONFIG? I haven't had much luck spinning the motor in Ardupilot in the F405 (yet).
When I was setting up the F111 it had data settings for SBUS and SERIAL and a way to test motors. I've set up quite a few APM's with Ardupilot and have a question. The problem was that I was expecting it to start or connect in INAV or BETAFLIGHT and then I would load Ardupilot and then run Mission Planner. The Impulse program ran good, the board appeared to flash ok but it still doesn't connect after flashing. Does the button need to be held down all the time or just when the USB is plugged in? When to release the button seems to be the question. First time didn't work but I'll try again a few times. Close Impulse RC Driver Fixer, unplug the USB, hold in the boot button, reconnect the USB, open Betaflight, it should now show DFU in the Comm port. Wait until it says the driver was installed.Ĥ. Impulse RC Driver Fixer should say 'Device found, installing driver.
Hold in the BOOT button on the F405 Wing FC and connect the USB from the PC to the FC. Run Impulse RC Driver Fixer (close all other programs when you do usually hides behind other open windows) It should say 'Searching for DFU Device' or something like that.ģ.
