So, I am currently running a D8R with my PIXHAWK and use the D-port telemetry output and an inverter, and it works.
Now I want to upgrade to an X-Series receiver(need the additional channels) and I want to keep my telemetry.
So, I looked in the drop-down menu for the telemetry output in mission planner and there was an entry for the s-port, so yay.
But after a bit of reading I was under the impression I need a RS232 converter and a diode to get the appropriate electrical levels for the SmartPort.
But I does not work.
Reading a but further I come across the github entry for this issue.
The question is: Is there a SmartPort telemetry output available for the pixhawk in the AP 3.2.1 or do I need a version of the new 3.3 version(even if it is beta)?
Should I stop wasting my time and build the teensy mavlink to SmartPort converter?
Anything I missed?
