c. Raise all the props and identify the front of the AV900 – on the top of the GPS/Compass, there is an arrow sign show the front of AV900. Also, the front of AV900 is marked by two red props. Figure 2. Identify the front of AV900. d. Turn on the AV900 and connect to it using Mission Planner (MP) through telemetry radio. Calibrate IMU
Is there a way to be able to arm when the GPS is not used? I want to demonstrate Mission Planner and ArduCopter indoors where I will not get a GPS fix. I want to ARM and DISARM so folks can see the states on the HUD. However, I cannot ARM because it complains of having no 3D fix - even though I configured MP/AC to disable the pre-arm checks. Please advise. Thanks, Paul
The GPS seems to be unwilling to work with the Pixhawk unit. I am getting the "No GPS Fix" message on Mission Planner, even after leaving the unit outside for nearly an hour in an attempt to acquire GPS satellites. I have followed the manuals instruction, and I am certain I have proper connection between the M8N and the Pixhawk.
The autopilot (Pixhawk etc.) should be housed within a case (which includes foam over the barometer) and should be mounted with the white arrow pointing directly towards the front of the vehicle. It should be placed close to the center of gravity of the vehicle (both horizontally and vertically). Generally this means it should be placed within To update mission planner click the 'Help' Icon along the top bar and then at the bottom of the screen click 'Check for Updates'. Mission Planner Updates Screen Once Mission Planner is updated you must also update the drivers, to do this you should first uninstall the old drivers as follows
Hello guys, I am running into trouble with trying to use Mission Planner (over the hotspot link) and the Herelink together with a drone with remote ID built-in. I can get the drone to arm with the Herelink only, since I can set the remote ID parameters properly and the Herelink has the GPS location built-in. But when I connect Mission Planner, it must be sending messages to the drone with

mboland (Mike Boland) January 23, 2017, 12:45am 2. You will need to have the ardupilot plugged into a computer running your Ground Station, APM Planner, Mission Planner, QGC, etc. On your Flight Data screen you should see messages in Large RED letters telling you what is wrong and why it won’t arm. Also in the Messages tab on that screen will
I have just bought a APM 2.5.2 board with a NEO-6M GPS/compass module. I can connect the mission planner to the APM (with updated 3.1 firmware I believe, as thats what it dowloaded when i started up the first time). I'm not seeing either a compass or GPS failure message (which i was when module wan't connected) and the status display shows mx

If GPS Status is recorded as 4 in the data flash log (no idea why this happens, but it does) then Mission planner has the following problems: After MAVLINK download, MP names the log files after the time/date of download rather than the time/date of the mission.
Just do MP–>Flight Plan–>MP Tool–>Prefetch by doing Alt+select area (while PC is connected to Internet). This will save the map in C:\programdata\mission planner\gmapcache. Now take the same laptop/PC to selected area (where there is no internet). Open Laptop/MP and connect to Pixhawk via Mavlink. MP will automatically load gmapcache map
This can be caused by a bad wire between the autopilot and GPS, or by a bad response from the GPS. If the message is about “GPS 0” then it is the first GPS. If it is “GPS 1” then it is the 2nd GPS. If you get a failure for the 2nd GPS and don’t have two GPS modules installed then set GPS_TYPE2 to zero to disable the 2nd GPS
The 3DR Solo contains, among many things, a Pixhawk 2.0 autopilot. It comes with a heavily customized branch of an early ArduCopter 3.3 compiled specifically for the Solo by 3DR. When you do the initial pre-flight update on a new Solo (or after a factory reset), part of that update is this Solo branch of ArduCopter.
After completion, click on the CONNECT on top right corner of the window to connect the APM board to PC. Now it will show the Device as "Quadrotor". Step 2 - Calibrating Compass and Accelerometer.

I am using BN-880 as GPS + compass coupled module with cube black. While calibrating the BN880 compass in mission planner 1.3.74 it does not identify any compass.

In Mission Planner’s full parameter list or full parameter tree, set the FS_GCS_ENABLE parameter to: Disabled (Value 0) will disable the GCS failsafe entirely. Enabled Always RTL (Value 1) will switch the copter to RTL Mode. If the GPS position is not usable, the copter will change to Land Mode instead.
Regarding the Dataflash logging, the two easiest ways to download them are: Connect Mission Planner to the Pixhawk. On the left side of the screen below the artificial horizon, scroll the buttons to the right until you see the DataFlash Logs button. Click that, and then click the Download DataFlash Logs Via Mavlink button. -or-.
