Hi All,
I’ve successfully set up APM
the last couple of years and never successfully had PX4 working to the point that the engines would spin. I always get to the point where I tried to initialize the motors and I can’t pass an arming check or I get errors. At this point in time I’m getting a bunch of weird ones starting with low flight controller power. I’m using a 22.2v 12000mah 6S lipo, it’s just under 24 volts charge and I keep getting errors saying flight controller battery 4.65 volts ranging from 4.55 to 4.88.
additionally I have installed obstacle avoidance and I’m running a companion computer on Raspberry Pi 4B that uses a Intel realsense d435, which is fully functional and returning image data and point clouds. I assume it only works in two modes mission and off board however if I try to run stabilize mode the PreFlight check fails because it claims the avoidance system is not ready or something of that nature. The avoidant system says something about path not available or something like that I assume that’s because there’s no mission defined.
On top of that I keep getting some weird GPS horizontal error.
I love some advice I’d love to hear those engines spin so I know that PX4 actually works I mean it sounds like it does but my experience so far has been pretty rough and frustrating. I don’t even have issues on APM at all but I’ve had issues here I’ll include a photograph as well because they always ask me to do that. FYI the GPS satellites have been ranging between 9 and 11, and the shop is averaging 1.5, but initially it would go as high as 8 or 9.
thanks for any input you were able to provide this is pretty rough and I could definitely use a hand.
