SLCan Mode Not Working

Here is how to get SLCAN working on Cube Orange. It is a totally different process and I finally got it working in Mission Planner…

  1. Do not connect with MAVLINK first. Also, restart Mission Planner.
  2. Connect the Cube Orange with the USB cable.
  3. Then go to Device Manager and find COM port on the Cube Orange that is for SLCan.
  4. Select this COM port in Mission Planner, but do not connect.
  5. Go to the UAVCAN page in Mission Planner. Click the SLCan Mode CAN1 button.
  6. A dialog box will open up - it says you might be doing things wrong, but it is fine - click OK.
  7. You should be connected to the GPS.
