It already works on EasyGlider, but you'll have to tweak some settings a bit. Check out Bryan's thread on this here. Just to be clear, ArduPilot will work on any of these aircraft already. But we don't have pre-configured .h files…

I sorry I was unclear. Easyglider support was what I was after. Glad to hear it's still planned! Whats the ETA on this chris?

No plans for 4-channel support at this time, but we will be expanding to cover other 3-channel platforms, including the EasyGlider, SuperStar, Funjet, Xeno and others. Note that some of those (such as the Superstar) are 4-channel aircraft, but…

Non EZstar airframes?

I've been away for a while while waiting for support for 4 channel aircraft, as I have a EZ glider. Looks like i've missed alot, and have a lot to catch up on! At first glance, it appears that only the EZstar is still being supported, is that correct? If so, is there an ETA on 4 channel support?

Chris, what is involved with hooking up the ground station module? I couldn't see any forum discussion for how we wire it all up. Thanks Matt

Thanks, That is indeed good news!

Here are a few answers: First, we're using these 900 Mhz modules (air, ground), which support 56,000, unlike the ones you have. The baud rate in ArduPilot 2.1 cannot be slowed down to 9600, since the code is optimized to read the GPS in…

I think you won't be left alone with this problem. Many probably have bought Pro XSCs in North America and Pro 868s in Europe. I'm in the latter case. The problem with both are lower bandwidth compared to the shorter range Xbee. In the…

My advice would be to wait and see. It hasn't been released yet and don't forget that Chris and Jordi have the same xbee modules as you, so I am sure there will be a guide or something similar if this is the case. It is probably more…

2.1 and Xbee modules.....

I read that the modems will be running @ 57000 on version 2.1. I have already purchased the 900MHZ XSC modules which are limited to 9600. Can the baud rate in 2.1 be slowed down to 9600 with a simple change as in the past. I'd hate to have to toss these new modules that haven't even been used yet.

jordi, Will the XSC your using support 57600bps? I read it was limited to 9600.

Here's a question for Jordi or Chris. How old is the XY sensor your using? I heard the the opamps were changed in early 2008, and I beleive mine is the older model. What are the implications for the PID loop?
