Random errors with asctec_mav_framework #62

Open rbellido1 opened 8 years ago

rbellido1 commented 8 years ago

Hi @markusachtelik, I am doing a research project using an Asctec Hummingbird and try to communicate the HL processor with my laptop using the asctec_mav_framework. I flashed the main.elf, from asctec_hl_firmware, into HL processor and then I launch the fcu.launch file. The package works with mainly two issues:

  1. I constantly get checksum errors warnings: checksum error for packet 5 ,resyncing checksum error for packet 5 ,resyncing checksum error for packet 5 ,resyncing checksum error for packet 5 ,resyncing checksum error for packet 4 ,resyncing checksum error for packet 5 ,resyncing
  2. Fatal error: [ERROR] [1464106356.577814093]: sending SSDK parameters failed, tried 5 times [FATAL] [1464106356.577867841]: Could not send SSDK parameters to the HLP! Shutting down the node

The first error doesn't kill the node but my concern is if i am getting corrupted data The second error is fatal. To work around with this error I normally reboot the quad it seems that help. Do you know if there is a patch for these errors? Could you please provide any input about where to check or how to fix it?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

I am having a similar problem, could you fix yours?

No never fixed it. I ended up using the ACI Asctec libarray, http://wiki.asctec.de/display/AR/ACI+Introduction to communicate my Laptop with the HL proccessor. There are good examples for a C communication interface and I wrote a small ROS wrapper to integrate this C interface. With this approach I haven't got the previous problem.

Thank you. Now I am trying to communicate in the LL processor.
