i set my apcode to imu for gps and the imu code was set for the em406 and it seemed to work but would never tell me how many sattelites in my telemetry screen so i went to the ublox instead but all do the nmea protocol if you set the code right

Correction (stupid phone)...

"I set that using another esc, "

@ Harry- You were correct. I set that using another each the value was below. What got me is my quick at the code made me believe the fail safe was disabled. After your reply I looked closer in the manual and get the impression that no matter what it tried to RTL, which used throttle... Now it all seems to work with my alternate setup using thermo sensor, looking forward to trying it all out at first good weather opportunity.

Thanks for the help.

@anyone - The em406 menu or sirf? Not getting a lock and may be confusing them.

@ Luca i would recommend setting it all up on a bench or table and only keep in mind using the rudder and throttle for use in your car it should work ok the rest would be the same i would think as a plane within reason

@Luca - no idea on car stuff, but IM sure you'll get help just digg in then ask.. A few years ago a fella named Howard used the legacy board for a GPS guides boat. I'd bet the are a lot of similar things. Do some poking, find him and see his posts.

Harry, thanks thought about thAt, but it worked Richter using same settings for thermo sensor so I didn't look. I'll look again.

Hi all!!!! Two years ago i purchased one of this "old" ardupilot with an em-406 module, and i never be able to really test for the little number of members that can/want to help a newbie like me.. Now the numbers seems incredibly increase!!! Can someone help me please? I'd like to first test on an rc car... Only gps, no compass!!! Thanks to all!!!

Just a guess, but could the throttle off endpoint be below the lost signal threshold?

i had mine do that too i think my switch was making the ap think it was going into rth or auto rather than stabilize i reloaded the ap code and it fixed it i dont remember if i made changes or not also tho

Dang it! All works great except now it is in the plane with motor hooked up (was testing without motor), now motor fires up as soon as AP is switched to stabilize...

Any ideas? Checked radio, it's good.
