Connect the ground on the scope to a ground on the device. Probe each line on the connector until you see a pulse coming out of it, you should see something I would think. Look at the voltage of the signal, if its +/- 12 V or about it is a RS232…

It could be, and would be pretty easy to verify. It would only need 2 connections, one for ground and one for the data line. If you have a O-scope this would be riduclously easy to see but I'm assuming you don't based on the post. So…

For unsafe (slow) hand launches on heavy flying wings I use co-pilot (fly-by-wire) mode as well as rate damping.

Yes, but why? What's the advantage? I know it's cool, but I just can't see why you'd ever want to do that. By the time you've done your preflight setup and put the plane on the runway, you might as well just take off…

Automatic takeoff is easy, but why bother? What's the point?

Well, it depends on what you mean by autonomous landing. If you put ArduPilot into a loiter and the the battery low-voltage cutoff stops the motor, it will gently glide into a pretty nice landing with an EasyStar (we'd done that plenty of…
