Firstly can I just say that the Navio2 board is a nice clean design. But what should be a relitivly straight forward instalation and configuration is turning into just one long continuous reimaging and starting over. The Navio2 documentation just seems out of date and the sequence just seems to corrupt previous steps.
One other thing is the use of esc's with becs. the majority of systems use opto esc's so do we add another power source?
Okay1) write image to SD card.
2) setup wifi (adding my Ssid and password is not the only thing that needs doing)
3) install APM
4) instal gstreamer
5) Gstreamer screws the APM file and folder structure. APM no longer starts.
6) goto 1)
7) setup wifi
8) install gstreamer
9) update rpi
10) update raspian messes up the navio kernel.
11) go to 1)
12) setup wifi
13) install gstreamer
14) install APM Works!!
15) Start the setup through Mission planer with USB lead
16) attach 3DR data link radio to navio via uart. Connection fails
17) attach 3DR data link radio to navio via usb, Connection works but the command to use Ttyusb0 ? is not written any where and why doesn't it work through the port on the navio2why can't we have manufacturers definitive sequence of instalation? Along with some don't do this as it will bugger everything you have done to date. Why spend so much money only developing a product then letting it down by not updating the documentation, and testing the sequence for that matter.
It's incredibly frustrating. Why does the supplied image not include APM, gstreamer, wifi tools, raspian that's upto date etc.
If someone could list out the right way of doing this, I and a few others that just want to get this GNSS product in the air woul be very great full.
I'm not even sure which way the GPS aerial is supposed to be mounted. Is it directional? And if this is centimetre accurate then does it use rtklib if so when does that get installed and how does it use it.
I don't think I'm the only one the forum is so full of others having so many issues that could be rectified buy document controls A very frustrated customer.
