This is awesome however I will need to watch this several times to understand all information Sudo please ask this man to make more outstanding videos because he and Kenny are the main players willing to share vital information
I always get a kick out of these comments (and I'm humbled by the compliments). When I started this project, I was only HOPING to have a mower as capable of Kenny's. He and I are becoming good friends at this point, and it's been a truly enjoyable project and process!
Wow! A firehose of information! Very enlightening. I assumed you had a wired connection to your Mission Planner PC from the F9P. This is much better for sure. And I can't WAIT to try sudo on my wife.... If you never hear from me again, you can guess the result. (She runs a daemon (or is it "demon"?) that may trump "sudo".)
I tired quickly of dragging the laptop out, setting up a card table, and connecting everything. Stumbled on ser2net with some internet searching and tried it out on an old Raspberry Pi I had sitting dormant. It worked so well that I haven’t really done anything else to it in over a year. It just plain works! (like that sudo command…)
Yuri, can't thank you more! Much appreciated for the detailed instructions. While building my own, coming over and over again to your videos. Do you have latest walkthrough of your control box?
@@YurisHomebrewDIY since both telemetry and GPS are connected to the RPI, but RTCMs are still routed to the PC and back, have you ever tried sending them directly to the rover without PC? Saw some discussions that Mission Planner can be installed on RPI directly.
@@weirduserid I've used ESP32s as well as MAVLink via Mission Planner to send RTCM3. There are plenty of options! I highly recommend avoiding installing MP on a Pi. That's just asking for frustrations!
Thanks much. It's a mystery! I'm pretty sure it's related to the initial mis-wiring of the ESC and FC that I quickly corrected but have to assume that perhaps I did indeed let some magic smoke out of a component that wasn't critical...until it was. I replaced the ESC and FC already, and I'll be replacing at least one motor this week to hopefully fix all the issues I caused.
Excellent video series, thank you! Am I correct in assuming that for this configuration, you need three telemetry radios (one for each: base, ground station, and rover)? Or perhaps do you need a total of four with two on the ground station - one to receive the base RTK and another to communicate with the rover?
I used one set of telemetry radios here. Mission Planner was connected via TCP to the Pi for both MAVLink and RTCM3. The 915MHz SiK radio connected to the Pi then relayed MAVLink to and from Mission Planner via ser2net.
Amazing work. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything to those of us that are still learning. One question, in order to utilize GPS yaw, is it necessary to use RTK Moving Base (3 ardusimple boards) or will it also work with Base/Rover (2 ardusimple boards)?
sThank you for the youtube vids. I get a little lost on the discord and github forums as all of the conversations are at different stages of builds. I have an RC mower from a 40v kobalt I'd like to convert to autonomous. It uses 24v 16a through a solenoid controlled by a flyhawk to a sabertooth 2x32 . To upgrade I have collected ( and use on different builds to teach my son ) the pixhawk cube orange, 2x simpleRTK2B, raspberry pi 3b & 4 (with hats and bluetooth dongle) arduino max, laptop, and a new couch to keep my wife happy . It seems you've replaced the expensive Here system with the chained simpleRTK2B boards and holy bro telemetry. The pixhawk connects to the sabertooth no problem but I am wondering after I set up a tripod base station as you did will there be any other hardware needed to set up this project? I'm currently rewelding the height adjustments and components cage. And I am adding an aluminum stand for the pixhawk cube orange to help the compass its 2ft from the steel 3.3 ft from motors. Do you keep your cube and F9Ps elevated? Sorry for the rant just trying to provide as much info. And thanks again for the time you take to document your project, if I liked the sound of my voice I'd consider doing the same.
I don’t keep the circuit boards and IMUs elevated, I simply take care to keep the antennas in reasonably clear line of sight. Recommend you join the discussions at discuss.ardupilot.org for more detailed conversation.
Great tutorial! Unfortunately I was only able to get the Telemetry working and not GPS on either TCP or UDP. I've read a bit about how some said to change the baud rate but that doesn't seem to fix it either. Any ideas?
Hi, nice video. I am wondering whether I can connect the RTK in the ground station and the cube orange using the WiFi of my two laptops. I am not using the cube in a drone but in a computer to get the IMU and GPS information, I just have the GPS, and the RTK, not any kind of module, so Have I to buy one telemetry module with no exception or is there any other way?
You risk a future package using that exact same udev file name and overwriting it on an apt package install/upgrade. You’d be safer putting this idea rules file in /etc/udev/rules.d instead 👍
Sometimes I tested in other locations and did not want to invest in another expensive GPS module at the time. Local NTRIP sources were also unavailable or unreliable.
Raspberry Pi is much easier to configure, hence my use here. There are some libraries for ESP32, one of which requires a paid subscription and is rather unwieldy to use. No reason you can't use an ESP32 if you're willing to put the effort into it.
Any geek that makes wife jokes is A-OK in my book! How did I know the sudo wife comment was a joke? Because I tried it and spent a week on the couch. In the garage. The neighbors garage...
