Hi all,
since I need to access telemetry information over UART1 and/or I2C through my BeagleBone it would be nice if you can give me a schema or just tell me which are the +5V, GND, RX, TX on the UART1.
I can see here: http://s18.postimg.org/n4w1z0j5l/lynxmotion_quadrino_nano_overview.jpg
where those ports are located on the board, but I cannot find the right pinouts.
I tried with a Voltmeter I found surprisingly that the UART1 outputs +5V. I thought that the max voltage on the board 3.3 V is.
Sorry for that, we are putting together some extensive manuals which will cover all the little details about the Quadrino Nano.
In the meantime (and even after… ), feel free to ask us if you have any questions.
We are still waiting for some final samples of the “Advanced Wiring Kit” from our factory. This will include cables to be use on the ports of the Quadrino Nano.
Once the Documentation / Schematics are available, and the wiring harnesses are available, this will be an awesome little platform.
This would be great to integrate into an educational curriculum, for younger kids that don’t need to solder the gps on, etc, but can move right into theory and
architecture. So instead of 200 pins really close together, that can be overwhelming, you have a nice breakout. And its not a dedicated Flight Controller. this can be used for so many things, especially being able to use standard arduino libraries. The first thing mine is going into is a mobile target platform. Once the waypoint / mission structure is in place in multiwii, you can have a target wandering around a couple hundred yards away, and when it reaches WPx it exposes the target and records hit or miss (might even be able to use accelerometer to detect hits) - this is where the student has to range and fire. Ill document the process so we can highlight this thing.
I am connected to the quadrino Nano via serial one but I am unable to get it to speak to wingui. (I am using a ttl to serial usb comm port) it is acting as if there is no data being sent. IIs there anything you have to do to get it to default to serial vs usb? My goal is to go to a wireless telemetry system.
Thanks
Could you post some pictures of your wiring as well as the items your are using (serial adapter for example) ?
Either Serial1 or Serial2 on the Quadrino Nano should get you working with talking to WinGUI without any setup as the code is handling such.
I have been able to make Xbee series 2 radios work for Telemetry but they have a lot of packet loss and don’t seem to allow me to download RC settings. I can do PIDs with them. The bluetooth module works great but obviously is short range.
I also got the frsky S-port to uart but the baud rate isn’t adjustable (yet) so it’s useless. Going to get some long range serial radios next.
If anyone has questions about that stuff don’t hesitate to ask.
