What software versions are required for ping200XR integration with Mission Planner?
ArduPilot ≥4.6.0 Beta 4; Mission Planner ≥1.3.82; ping200X Control and Configuration app ≥3.34; ping200XR firmware ≥3.5.0.
Is ping200X compatible with ArduPilot flight controllers like PX4?
Yes, tested with PX4; similar for other ArduPilot controllers. Use MAVLink for control.
How do I wire ping200XR to an ArduPilot controller?
Use 4-wire RS-232 (TX/RX/GND/PWR); add RS-232/TTL converter for TTL ports like TELEM2. 57600 baud.
What if my controller uses TTL logic?
Required: RS-232 to TTL converter; ping200X is RS-232 only.
Can I use MAVLink for all control?
Yes, via autopilot; supports squawk, mode, IDENT. Direct UCP also works.
How do I configure ping200XR before connecting to Mission Planner?
Use ping200X Control and Configuration app: set ICAO, baud 57600, UCP In/Out; valid ICAO required for transmit.
What ArduPilot parameters do I set in Mission Planner?
ADSB_TYPE=3; ADSB_RF_CAPABLE=8; ADSB_RF_SELECT=2; SERIALx_BAUD=57; SERIALx_PROTOCOL=35; BRD_SERx_RTSCTS=0.
How to enable fused GPS position from ArduPilot?
Set ADSB_OPTIONS=1; SIL/SDA=0/0 in app (non-certified; for GNSS denial areas).
What MAVLink messages are used?
Dynamic (ID 202): position/velocity; Static (ID 201): ICAO/callsign; Traffic (ID 246): reports.
How do I control ping200XR in Mission Planner?
Data tab Transponder: set STBY/ON/ALT, squawk, IDENT; shows status/SIL/SDA.
How to put ping200XR in ground test mode?
Automatic via GPS on-ground flag; suppress ADS-B, reply to Mode S. Test: stationary, verify no broadcast.
Can I integrate pingRX for ADS-B In?
Yes; wire to separate serial; set ADSB_TYPE=3, ADSB_RF_CAPABLE=11, ADSB_RF_SELECT=3. Displays traffic.
Why is ping200XR offline in Mission Planner?
Check wiring/shifter, baud match, parameters; restart. Common: no ICAO, timeout (5s Dynamic).
How to handle fused GPS SIL=0 issues?
Non-compliant for rule airspace; use for backup only. Set to enable if needed.
What if no traffic shows with pingRX?
Set ADSB_LIST_RADIUS/ALT=0 for testing; ensure GPS lock for filtering.
