"Is there a way to get the mode name to display on the screen without using the momentary TRN switch? I'd like to use the 3 position AUX3 switch with the AIL D/R switch for faster access to modes without having to cycle through."

"Hi, The source code is here on git : http://code.google.com/p/gv9x/source/checkout But I think ATmega640 is not limited to an interresting project, but we can only keep the functionality rollout switch. TH9X crashes easily if the program is a…"

"Who says we don't have an uplink?  Couldn't we use the raw data encoded into a PPM channel to send data to the APM?  It would require "translation" code in the APM firmware to accomplish this, but I'm seeing the…"

"Great Earl,  It work now on APM2 and xbee. Yes you can put this code on er9x, but it work on ArduCopter, not on ArduPlane. "

Gerard Valade replied to Florian G's discussion ER9x + Rolling SW + Mavlink + PC Control ?
"May be P5 is off. There is no priority. In ppm mode on APM, only when ppm value change (there are 6 values) the mode change. So if ppm value does not change and we send mavlink command code the APM mode will set with the mavlink code. In mavlink…"

"@Florian I push the 1.08 to gv9x, try it. I remove for the ppm mod the edition of the name of the control, you must chose from a list. Try only in ppm mode there is no problem, maybe ppm value interact with mavlink command (They have worked with old…"

"Hi Florian, 1) I never try to connect APM to PC and TG9X via the same channel (telemetry). I just connect APM to PC (Mission Planer) via USB and TG9X via the telemetry port. But you told of 'ER9x-ArduPilot Firmware', this firmware was not…"
