Ardupilot finally seems to be working properly (running 2.5.02), achieved lock, telemetry output looks good.  However, the radio (Spektrum DX6i 2.4GHz / AR6200) inputs don't seem to have any effect.  I have soldered the leads as specified in the diagrams and when the servos are connected directly to the reciever, they respond as they usually would. The mode switch does not trigger any lights, nor result in any messages in the telemetry.  Does anyone here have experience flying this setup that…See More

I am simulating GPS via the FTDI and not able to get GPS lock.  Are all the servos and sensors required to be attached in order to aquire GPS lock? I am currently attaching the bind plug, applying power, turning on RC radio, sending GPS via GPS emulator 1.2.6 over FTDI and waiting for the blinking GPS light to change....  nothing happens, just keeps blinking.  The AP sits in a removable tray and only has the elevator servo still attached while on my workbench.  Will the lack of XY and Z sensor…See More

Greetings all, Forgive me if this is a common noob question.  I have some ancillary equipment on my plane which needs GPS input.  I would like to pass the data through the FTDI cable as it would provide a much more convienient method for being able to route the GPS data through my systems than trying to directly attach the GPS to the AP and either recoding to output to my onboard systems or mounting a second GPS source. The onboard systems are routing the GPS data correctly to the FTDI…See More
