Hi Max,

can you please upload a waypoint file with an orbit example.

My tests either results in a flyaway or in some strange kind of orbiting with a very large radius of which the orbit waypoint is not the center. I have aqfc-mp-v7.1.1919-hwv8.6-quatos-hils installed.

Cheers,
Heiko

Hi Heiko,

Maybe Angel can upload his (those are his screenshots)... I'm not having any luck either, it just wants to fly away to somewhere else entirely. I think there's an issue with sending the waypoint data to AQ -- I'm not sure if Angel is using the same QGC version... I'm on 1.7 B3... you? I also need to revert to the published firmware and try that... I've been messing with the nav stuff (as you know). Other mission waypoint types seem to be working though. At least if you're on 1919 then I know it's not something I just broke.

Cheers,

Hi Max,

I'm also using 1.7 B3, but as I see from Angels screenshot on github, he's still on 1.7 B2.1.

I'll try that one later.

Cheers,
Heiko

I´m using "aqfc-mp-v7.1.2603-hwv8.3-quatos-hils" (the first Max send me). My PC it´s an INTEL NUC-i5 (intel serie 5), W10-64Bits.

@Heiko, attached a couple of missions (orbit, wp´s) that works well for me.

@Max:
I´ve verified my USB driver, and it looks it´s the basic Microsoft. It works even thru a USB HUB

Hi Angel,

First of all, nice video! Nice demo of the basics and a quick mission. I'll have to investigate what happened with the orbit waypoint between your version and the latest ones. Could you try one of the "official" firmware releases from the ? I'm not sure if the difference is in the firmware or QGC... I can't find where it would have broken recently in either of those.

As for the drivers, the attached image shows the hardware-level drivers I'm talking about (or an example from my system, anyway). The dialog is showing the base driver for Intel's USB3 controller, which manages all drivers for the Intel entries seen in the controller list of the screenshot. You can see I also have an entirely separate USB chipset on the same motherboard (ASMeida), one on an Asus USB3.1 PCI card, and a few generic USB2/3 hubs (one in my keyboard, a couple on a media card reader, etc).

The usbser.sys is a generic serial driver and I've peronally yet to encounter any special problems with it. It does get updated with Windows sometimes.

Cheers,

Hi!

@Angel: Thx for the waypoints, orbit is not working here.

I also tested with QGC 1.7 B2.1, still no luck.

It looks like it's something wrong with the firmware.

Cheers,
Heiko

The orbit wpt. problem is only with PID attitude controller -- works for me with Quatos in several firmware versions, but not with PID. Trying to track down the problem, not clear at this point which fw. versions are affected.
