Dear Pixhawk community,
This is our first build of a fixed wing around Pixhawk 4 Mini ( PX4 1.9.2) coupled with range finder (TFmini+ on UART4) and an Airspeed sensor (Holybro MS4525 on I2C).
Project Name: Aviones Autónomos Aragón.
With QGC 3.5.4 on a Mac, everything was working until we noticed that Manual and Stabilized weren’t converging (Aileron and elevator were inversed between both modes).
So we decided to re-wire the servos according to stabilized mode behavior and patatra!
3 problems emerged:
- Servos were no more responding nor manual nor stabilized.
- Baro 0 is missing
- No airspeed Sensor
For #1, we brought it back to life with attitude_estimator_q start
in nsh . But we have to do it on each reboot, and we are still wondering how it disappeared from the boot sequence and how to put it back. We’ll look to System startup this week-end.
For #2, we’re still struggling ms5611 start
seems to be working but we still have the Baro0 error and some warning after the instruction
And it doesn’t appear in ls /dev
The SYS_CAL_BARO has no effect and only disabling the HAS_BARO allowed to go further in the Preflight checks.
For #3, it’s a mysterious mystery. As you can see in the ls, we have an airspeed0 and MS4525, we can calibrate it (green light in the sensors tab) but still blocked in the Pre-flight checks. The ms4525_airspeed start -b 2
command says its already started.
We rebooted and rebooted, hard-reseted, restored parameters to default, restored a previous params file, changed the airframe model, tried to replace PX4 by ArduPilot (by way firmware links for ArduPilot are 404) but no success. The most tragic is that all this was working nicely.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thank you in advance
The AAA team
