Revo AuxMag
« on: March 17, 2016, 04:30:23 pm »
Hi to all.
I have Revo kit from banggood
Baro is ok
"Complementary Basic" all modes fly very well
With internal compass could not fly, many problems.

Yes all the cables are twisted, but "mag interference" is here.

After I found you here, i have connected the external compass of the GPS,
downloaded the "next" and the compiler.
I did all calibrations in the house and everything is fine,
the compass without great error, indoor "SystemHealth" mag mostly is green, ATTI STAB green.

But it rains, not yet tested out the house.

Μany thanks to the Team LimbrePilot

Hi!

I'd like to use my GPS' compass too, it's a ubloxneo-6m (it says with compass), added two extra wires to the connector for A and L (I think these are SDA and SCL), connected the gps to the main port, then connected the mag to flexi.
I've built the GCS from the latest source, set the flexi port to I2C, but the GCS says auxmag not found :S
Did I miss something, or the ubloxneo-6m doesn't really have a mag? (the I2C icon is orange in system health)

Hi kennyevo give a picture of the GpsBoard, may be help you.

Υesterday's tests

Stabilization default settings

1) Attitude = very stable
2) AltitudeVario = very stable level
3) PositionHold = solid rock
4) VelocityRoam = solid rock
5) GpsAssist = oh my God is a dream

no drifts
no oscillations

Νext test

1) AutoTakeoff
2) Land
3) ReturnToBase & Land
4) Flιps & Rolls
5) and more crashes

Μany thanks LimbrePilot

Hi!

Here's a pic of my GPS: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_2MdV3di_UMVm80dXZFVU1UaE0/view?usp=sharing

There were no cable for L and A so I added them and connected to the flexi port.

Sv2fpv,

Did you do any calibration for your external mag?

If so, can you please tell me what you did.

Thanks

Hi,
I have the Revo + GPS M8N from Banggood and I would like to use also the ext compass of the GPS.
I attached a picture of my GPS to check if it really includes the mag.

I connected the two wires SCL & SDA between the flex port and the GPS and started the Setup wizard from GCS 15.09 to configure the I2C port.
But I have the following issues:
- I don't have the choice to select "GPS u-blox + magnetometer external" in the setup wizard (only GPS u-blox)
- The I2C port is not active and stays in black color on the flight data screen.

It seems that this configuration is supported only in release 16.01 but where can I find it or do I have other issue ?

Thanks for your help

Looks like you need to solder two wires from SCL and SDA pads.

For i2c mag support you need to build GCS yourself, take a look how to do here:

Thanks,
The two wires were connected after I took the picture so no issue about this.
I started to build GCS by myself (for the first time) and everything is going well until this step: "mingw32-make package" where I have the following error message:

Rodolphe@ElPadre MINGW32 ~/librepilot
$ mingw32-make package
/usr/bin/sh: ligne 1: qmake : commande introuvable
Makefile:185: recipe for target 'C:/msys32/home/Rodolphe/librepilot/build/uavobjgenerator/uavobjgenerator.exe' failed
mingw32-make: *** [C:/msys32/home/Rodolphe/librepilot/build/uavobjgenerator/uavobjgenerator.exe] Error 127

If you have any idea ?
Thanks,

Looks like you miss the Qt install  :o

your are using MINGW32 shell so you need to install 32bit packages.

f5soh,

Thanks for that video. I have Both Mags green now.

What are the Red lines and the Yellow dots. How do I clear the map?
