New image arducopter 4.0.3 receiver PPM isssues on Navio+

Navio / Edge Flight stack

Hi Domingos,

Thanks for your feedback, but we don’t see the image update being included in our roadmap. I can suggest two ways of how you can keep working with your Navio+:

  • you can use the previous image, which should work without any issues
  • you can use the previous image, but try to install the binary of the necessary ArduPilot firmware version. I’ll put the configurational steps below to follow them easily.

These are the instructions for ArduCopter 4.0.3:

  1. Connect to your Navio2 and insert the following command in the terminal:

wget https://firmware.ardupilot.org/Copter/stable-4.0.3/navio2/arducopter

  1. Then, run:

chmod +x arducopter

  1. Modify the file /etc/systemd/system/ardupilot.service. For this, run:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/ardupilot.service

  1. Replace this line:

#ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/home/pi/<path>/<to>/<your>/<binary> ${ARDUPILOT_OPTS}"

with this line:

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "/home/pi/arducopter ${ARDUPILOT_OPTS}"

  1. Save the file and close it.
  2. To start the custom binary, run:

sudo systemctl start ardupilot.

If you want to use another version of the binary, you can find the links to them on the ArduPilot firmware site.
