ADSB not working Cube Orange

Cube Autopilot
1

Hi All,
This is doing my head in, everyone else says the ADSB just works. With the default parameters I’ve never had the ADSB work.

I’m running Arducopter 4.5.7 and using the latest version of mission planner.

I’m using a cube orange and I just want the receiver that comes with the cube orange to work.
I’ve set the following parameters;
ADSB_type = 1
Serial5_baud=57
serial5_protocol=35
SR0_adsb=2
SR1_adsb=2
SR2_adsb=2
SR3_adsb=2
SR4_adsb=2
adsb_list_alt=10000
adsb_list_max=10
adsb_list_radius=30000
adsb_options=0
adsb_rf_capable=2
adsb_rf_select=1

I don’t see any planes in the sky. I saw that you can check the heartbeat of the ADSB receiver in Mission Planner by going into Setup → Advanced → Mavlink Inspector
It should show a comp0 value, but I don’t have that.

I think it may have changed to have a different comp number. I do see this heartbeat value

I don’t know if this is the ADSB or something else.
Can anyone see anything I’m doing wrong?
Thanks, Adam.

Where are you? Is the Cube outside?

Use:

ADSB_LIST_RADIUS,5000  //  let's be realistic
ADSB_RF_CAPABLE,0
SERIAL5_BAUD,57
SERIAL5_OPTIONS,0
SERIAL5_PROTOCOL,1     <- this is the way
SR0_ADSB,5
SRx_ADSB,5       // just on the serial port with your telem radio

No need to set SRy_ADSB on serial ports that dont need to know about ADSB, but it’s not a show-stopper.

Yes, the cube is outside. I’ve also tried flying, I’m in a city area, so heaps of planes, but no planes seen on mission planner.

Let me try the differences and I’ll report back. Thanks

Mine just worked out of the box, the problem I had was I tried it during Covid so no aircraft! https://youtu.be/vSNO0l2sHfc?si=JW0gaKgEqhNwzkqs

No dice, it’s still not working with the changes Shawn suggested.

Our company has about 10 drones and I’ve never seen another plane on the screen from the ADSB in. When we buy a new cube orange, we don’t change the ADSB parameters.

We had a military plane buzz us recently, whether they operate with an ADSB out though, I don’t know. If they do, the ADSB in would really help.

Set LOG_DISARMED,1 and leave it on when some planes might be around.
