Gents,

just received a brand new APM 2.6 from Lipoly.de with a sticker which says 2.6 and the 3 DR GPS/compass.

This APM 2.6 has a working compass on the board?? How comes?

When I connect the external GPS/compass, it makes somewhat a mix out of both hea

Save enough?

Good Evening Gents,

just a little offending question: :)

Is the arducopter software and hardware already in a state to be built in a heavy gas chopper? In my case a Vario Benzin Trainer with 1800 mm span and 7 kg weight powered by a 23 ccm Zenoah.

APM 2.5 + Airspeed sensor

High,

Can´t find the port on the 2.5 where to connect the speed sonsor. Even not in Wiki, this ends at the 2.0 board.

Am I right to solder pins to UART2 (next to pins of UART0) and connect the sensor there?

many thanks
