"Great idea. Also providing Ardupilot/APM shield versions would make it quite popular. Perhaps with an I2C interface?"
"Serproxy with newlines_to_nils=false AND comm_baud=38400 worked great for me with Windows7 32bit. Having trouble with some of the flying modes on APM though, but better in the sim than in the air."
"I bought a FY21AP-II but haven't had the chance to fly it yet. However, I have been following the threads on RCgroups and the owners of FY-Tech are very responsive and helpful. Great to read of a success story around this type of product."
"I had the colored wire in the wrong spot. Here is a revised illustration of what I mean. Please let me know if I am off my rocker here"
"Hi Jani,
It's not really the color that is the issue. It's that the illustration makes it look like APM ground goes to GPS Enable. I modified your illustration to, well, illustrate. Notice the twist in the wires"

"I agree, the connector can only be put in one way. I just saw this and thought my GPS or APM had the connector on wrong, but it's fine. As long as people understand that the wires and the orientation of the boards as indicated in the illustration…"
"Is it me or is this illustration wrong. The GPS should look like this:
When looking at this illustration GND for the GPS is at the bottom of the board and GND for the APM is at the top. The GPS should be upside down in this illustration."

"There are some pretty ok RC planes available for x-plane here as well:

"Good point - My screen resolution on my netbook is only 1024x600. However, he has provided the fla source files so it is possible to move/scale the components if you know actionscript 3."
"To be honest, I'm at the point where I may sit in the back of my Jeep (cherokee) and have the spotter outside. Less bugs, less sun, more available power."
"@Chris Anderson - Thanks Chris - I'll use alpha release and the libraries from Arducopter for the MTK GPS.
Much appreciated!"
Much appreciated!"
"Actually, I found an interesting alternative - USB monitor with touchscreen:

A little pricey for a 7" monitor though."

"This is a bit of a longshot, but I think it might be interesting. I have a small 7" monitor that runs on 12v. Currently I use it for FPV. What I'm thinking, is that I use my netbook to display this groundstation with analog guages, and use the…"
"@Doug Weibel - With the new "Added commented-out #Include lines for other GPS modules", can I assume that works with the libraries from the Arducopter project? (link below)

"I'll test with the Twinstar2 as soon as there is beta code for the mediatek gps from the DIYDrones store. Nice work!"
"Lots of space in that wing. I does look to be the perfect size for my needs. A fast FPV/AP setup!"
