"you're right!!! ok, i'll try with fma but... can i plug the sensor without shield?! direct on the ardupilot board? And, in the config, i set the shield version -a (no shield), right? THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!! "

"So my question is, it's possible to test an ardupilot only with gps, no fma, no shield, no airspeed..?!"

"It's no possible to test only with gps, no stabilization? FMA it's used for stabilization, right?"

"Ok, i'll check this!!!! I have also an FMA, but for now i'd like to test it only with gps and on the ground, just to verify the correct work of the rudder servo, it's possible? just like on a rc car.... or on a plane but on the…"

"ok, i think that with 2.7 no more need the bind plug, right? so.... from the config file i setup no shield, gps work fine, from the debug i see the distance from waypoint that i loaded increase/decrease as i approach the point... but i don't…"

"i need the bind plug for test only with gps module? I NEED INPUT!!!! (tribute to johnny 5...you know?!)"

"Now, after few minutes (indoor, in my house!!) i've got a solid blue led and red blink on em-406, on debug of gps out i can see the right lat.long. red power led on, other led of. if i move the switch on position 3, go in auto mode and red mux…"

"Ok, done. 2 wires soldered. 2.7.1 loaded. In config.h i've changed position3 from fly by wire to auto (i'm using an hitec optic 6, 2 switch position, toggle between position 1 and 3). This in the line that i suppose i must modify...…"

"ok, i'll do it!!!!! On the back of the board i have to solder 1 or 2 wires? in some guide i've seen only 1 wire"

"Hi Tassos!!!! You're my only hope!!! I have an ardupilot and a em-406 gps, no shield. I have also a FMA copilot, but for now i'd like to test it only with gps, on a rover or on a plane, even on the ground for testing the rudder movement.…"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Hi Steve!!! Would you like to start a "cooperation" with me!?!? I'm in your same situation, with hardware (only ardupilot and 406 gps, no shield) and too much difficult to start!!!!"

"Hi!!! Also i'm new to ardupilot and i'm an owner of this "old and no longer supported" board!!! ;-) It's possible to know the newest code compatible with this version? The last version work with it or we must load a specific…"

"Mmmmmmmmm............ i understand..... can you tell me just the last code version than i can use with this version of ardupilot? Thanks"

"That board and code were discontinued long ago and are no longer supported. There may be some community members who are still using them and can help you, but the dev team is only supporting current hardware and code."

"cmonnnn............!!! "
