Title: 3DR Telemetry Radio not connecting to Mission Planner Post by: SKSaha on December 20, 2014, 09:26:32 PM Hi,
I have APM2.5, Mission Planner 2.0.15 and 3DR Telemetry V1. When i connect APM to MP using USB cable I am able to get a successful connection and also able to program the APM. But whenever I connect 3DR radio to the USB port after getting solid Green LED on both radios and start the MP after changing to port15 and Baud Rate 57600 (as per the Device Manager) and click on the "Load Setting" under the 3DR tab, I get error message saying "unable to open serial port. Check if radio connected properly...." Now if I click on "Connect" button then I get Red LED flashing on both Radios showing exchange of data. When i connect the radio through the 3DR RadioConfig software and click on the "Load Setting" button, I get the data from both Local and Remote radios (and all data is as per standard instruction). This shows that my radios are alright, and my laptop is able to receive their data. I have also uninstalled the drivers and Mission Planner and re-installed both but to no avail. Please suggest a solution to the above. Thanks in advance Title: Re: 3DR Telemetry Radio not connecting to Mission Planner Post by: SideWinder on December 20, 2014, 09:57:22 PM The screenshots are of APM planner. Have you tried Mission Planner?

When connected to the 3DR RadioConfig software there is no problem and the default data from both local and remote radio are displayed correctly. I am attaching that screenshot now.

But if I connect APM through USB then every data of APM and GPS movement is displayed along with proper position in map
Title: Re: 3DR Telemetry Radio not connecting to Mission Planner Post by: SideWinder on December 21, 2014, 08:58:52 AM Excuse me but your screenshot clearly shows "APM Planner version 2.0.15" while "Mission Planner" is a different GCS app. You can find it @ http://ardupilot.com/downloads/?did=82 (http://ardupilot.com/downloads/?did=82) . Since you have already deduced that nothing is wrong with your radio modules changing GCS should be the next step for trouble shooting followed by a different radio module!
FYI from ardupilot "Note: You cannot connect via the radios when your APM 2.x is also connected via USB (they share the same port) so make sure you disconnect your USB cable from the flight controller before attempting a wireless connection" Title: Re: 3DR Telemetry Radio not connecting to Mission Planner Post by: SKSaha on December 21, 2014, 04:38:11 PM Thanks SideWinder, actually I thought APM Mission Planner 2.0.15 is an advanced version of Mission Planner. So, i uninstalled it before installing the APM MP 2.0.15. I am downloading the same and will post the result.

Yes, I had disconnected the APM 2.5-USB from laptop before connecting the 3DR Telemetry to the laptop. |
