Errors running emlidtool

Navio / Edge Getting started
1

Hello,

I’m using the latest Raspbian image - pleased to say that the wifi works on my Raspberry Pi 3B+.

Image: “emlid-raspbian-20180525.img”

After trying to start ardupilot and enable it on boot using emlidtool, I get the errors shown in the picture below.

I have added my GCS IP address to /etc/default/ardurover.
I have also run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

I’m not sure what these errors mean. Some help would be appreciated please.

Also, on a side note, should the ardurover version not be 3.5?

Hello.

Could you please post your /etc/default/ardurover?

The latest version of ArduRover is 3.3.0

Hello,

Output of /etc/default/ardurover is:

TELEM1="-A udp:192.168.1.93:14550"
#TELEM2="-C /dev/ttyAMA0"

# Options to pass to ArduPilot
ARDUPILOT_OPTS="$TELEM1 $TELEM2"

# -A is a console switch (usually this is a Wi-Fi link)

# -C is a telemetry switch
# Usually this is either /dev/ttyAMA0 - UART connector on your Navio
# or /dev/ttyUSB0 if you're using a serial to USB convertor

# -B or -E is used to specify non default GPS

# Type "emlidtool ardupilot" for further help

Your docs here state 3.5 as the latest version of Ardurover. Maybe that needs correcting?

Oh, it’s typo in the docs. We will update them.

What is the output of sudo journalctl -u ardurover ?

Thanks. Output of sudo journalctl -u ardurover is:

Hmm, seems like something wrong with pwm export.
Have you updated rcio-firmware with sudo emlidtool rcio update ?
Could you also show output of:
lsmod | grep rcio
dmesg | grep pwm
ls /sys/class/pwm/pwmchip0/

Hi @alexey.bulatov,

It seems that sudo emlidtool rcio update worked and ardurover is now running and I can connect with my GCS. Good stuff. Could the docs be updated to add that command in as a required step before running sudo emlidtool ardupilot?

Cheers
