Can't connect Navio+ to Mission Planner

Navio / Edge Getting started

Hi Guys,

I have everything powered up and I’m trying to connect to mission planner on a windoughs machine.
Navio+ on raspberry pi 2B with IP: 192.168.1.80 (Mission Planner is on Windoughs machine 192.168.1.81)

running command
sudo ArduPlane -A -C udp:192.168.1.81:14550
causes an endless stream of wild ASCII characters to appear on the screen, matrix style. Makes me wonder why the UDP stream needed to be output via stdout.

Anyways, when I go into Mission Planner and hit connect (UDP selected) I confirm the Port 14550 and then it is just “waiting for UDP” and nothing happens.

Obviously both can ping each other and I disable IPv6 systemwide on the raspberry pi.

Any idea what I am missing?

Thank you

Got the connection to work, but I used APM Planner and not Mission Planner.

However, how do I calibrate the motor and the Servos?

I am confused as how the Navio+ is supposed to know which servo controls the aileronds and to which pins they are connected and all that stuff.

Do I have to tell the Navio+
pin1=motor ESC
pin2=Left aileron
pin3=right aileron
pin4=rudder left
pin5=rudder right

etc…

Please help me, I am a bloody beginner

Thanks

it is supposed to be:
sudo ArduPlane -A udp:192.168.1.81:14550

if you want to launch arduplane with a secondary mavlink-stream on uart
sudo ArduPlane -A udp:192.168.1.81:14550 -C /dev/ttyAMA0

-A is for primary telemtry
-C is for secondary telemetry

@sdunster2016 Hi!

ArduPlane RC outputs have certain functions by default:

Pin 1 = Aileron
Pin 2 = Elevator
Pin 3 = Throttle
Pin 4 = Rudder

Please read ArduPlane documentation, there are a lot of information there:
http://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/arduplane-setup.html

Read articles for Pixhawk too, most of the configuration is shared with Navio, but these articles may contain some useful additional information.
