Arducopter Lastest (4.0.3) - Building from sources OR getting the binary from repository?

Navio / Edge Raspbian
1

Hi there,

I’m going to upgrade the copter firmware from my Navio2/RPi 4 board (running 3.6.11) to 4.0-lastest.

What’s better: Build the new firmware from the sources OR downloading the binary from ardupilot repository (ArduPilot firmware : /Copter/stable/navio2) ?
What would be the difference?

Thanks in advance.

Upgrading firmware with ArduPilot repository is the easy road. Latest stable (4.0.3) miss some feature as Navio Led light stay off after initial boot sequence. Emlid made some library changes to solve the problem (I built 4.1 dev version and Led is OK) but I’m not sure 4.03 will be fine if built on my Pi.

I use 6S, 15" around KV350 Y6 and OctoQuadX. I need OneShot125 to avoid desynchronising and the option is not working since 3.6.0

So I stay with 3.5.7

I use 4.03 with development quad. So far it works fine

Hi @giliardi,

I’d like to tell you that we have released the new image for Navio2. Now it supports ArduCopter 4.0.3. You can learn more about the fixes and updates on this community forum thread.

Also, it’d be great if you shared how it works for you.
