Verify sketch ArduCopter.pde in Arduino 1.0 fails with AP_Int16 #706

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.load ArduCopter.pde into Arduiuo 1.0
2.I am using Widows 7 64bit
3.I am very new to the ardopilot, just got my  ArduPilot Mega 2.0  and hope to 
build a quad Copter

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Two main reasons why this will happen - although you haven't shown the extent 
of the error, there should have been a lot more text than just "AP_INT16"...

Reason 1.  Incorrect Boardtype chosen in Tools -> Board - choose "ArduMega 2560 
or Mega ADK"
Reason 2.  Missing libraries

Fixes: If Using Arduino go through the proper process to import the project, or 
if this is the only Ardu project you are working with just copy the Arducopter 
libraries straight into your Arduino Library folder.

Other:  Make sure if you edit the APM_Config.h file to remove the // in front 
of the following line:
# define CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE APM_HARDWARE_APM2
Otherwise the code uploads as though the APM2.x is an APM1

Unless you are making any modifications to the Arducode it is always best to 
get Mission Planner to upload the latest firmware as it does all of this for 
you.  Judging by your saying you are very new to Ardupilot I would suggest 
already that you're not making code changes, so go Mission Planner and let us 
know how you go.

Many thanks, I am away just now, but will be back in two days. I have been
trying to find out why my ardupilot gps does not report its location even
though its light is on and its locked. So I have been reading everything
twice and more to see if I have missed something. I should have the motors
and everything ready in the next week. Thanks again.

Just thought this pictures of the failure to connect dialogue might help
in addition to the code I logged yesterday.
I am still cant connect to to the board despite it  having its code
uploaded, it uses the usb port 6 as well yet the Mavlink cant manage. Hope
you can help. If you need more let me know.

Well I had a look at a blog about Malink issues and then tried both my XP and 
Vista 32bit laptops and bingo both connect OK so its my 64bit Windows 7 machine 
or just the 64bit but dont know which. My remaining issue is now just the GPS, 
on the board its locked with is blue led on yet the the APM Planner says 'GPS: 
No GPS' and hence I cant get a location. I am happy that the GPS seems OK but 
odd that mission planner cant see it. What can be wrong, or what have I done 
wrong?
Every this else is OK.

Problem solved,just noticed that the GPS shield board was slightly tilted so 
that it connector to the AudPilot was at fault. Levelled it and GPS locks fine. 
Thanks for the inspiration to look more deeply.
Regards,
Peter
