"Thanks for the feedback, Jim. I've moved the RC connections to the "Setting up the Airframe" section as you suggest; it does indeed seem to fit better in the flow there."

Jim replied to John Miller's discussion Connecting Servos and Reciver (Newbie question)"Hi Chris,
Yes you are right, I missed it :)
I think this must have been because I wasn't interested in the wiring while i was on that page, just the assembly. With my iron still hot i jumped onto the IMU assembly page. When it came to the…"

"It's in the first step of the assembly in the manual."
Armando replied to John Miller's discussion Connecting Servos and Reciver (Newbie question)"I couldn't find it also."
Jim replied to John Miller's discussion Connecting Servos and Reciver (Newbie question)"Hey Doug, thanks for this information, I couldn't find it in the manual anywhere, did I miss it? Is there anything more I need to know about connecting the servos, should I connect ailerons and rudder, or just one?
If this is discused…"
"I had to set all the parameters with a serial port terminal and gps connected to my PC.
I am trying to change my current locosys from 9600 baud to 38400 with the use of Minigps but it seems to reject settings every time i disconnect the gps from…"
Tim McMahan replied to John Miller's discussion Ir sensor wires"LOL, sorry. Yeah, I think that's the right answer. I yanked cables from some old VCR I had and got the to fit just great. I was worried about the wiring from the sensors to the shield. Yes, I was asking if they can share power and ground, then…"

"Not sure I understand the question, but the XY and Z can share the same power and gnd."
Tim McMahan replied to John Miller's discussion Ir sensor wires"Chris had posted this link once before with the FMA sensor pinout, I'll do it again. :) REALLY helpful!!!

Tim McMahan replied to John Miller's discussion Ir sensor wires"Ok, my turn....maybe. I'll try reading the labels first. In any case, the IR sensors definitely do NOT come with wires. Also, they will NOT accept CD-Rom analog audio cables as I read on here somewhere. I think I can find photos of the wires…"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to John Miller's discussion Ir sensor wires
"Yes, it's the curse of outmoded hardware again. I really think you'd be better off with the new shield kit, which includes a cable that will solve all these issues for you."
AdminThomas J Coyle III replied to John Miller's discussion Ir sensor wires
"John,
The original v1 Shield board was mismarked as to the analog channel designators.
A1, A2, and A3 S/B A0, A1, and A2. Also An0, An1, and An2 are the same as A0, A1, and A2.
Power and ground are correct as is.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
TCIII"
John Miller posted a discussionIr sensor wires
Hello, the following picture shows the wires of the FMA sensors as following:Ground, V+, Analog 1, Analog 0, (XY-sensor) Ground, V+, Analog 2, Unused (z-sensor)On my red shield the names are: Ground, 5V, A3, A2, A1The grounds of both sensors are connected to one wire, the same with the V+, my question is now:how is A3, A2, A1 correctly corresponding with Analog 0, Analog 1 and Analog 2?Also in the manual under "Appendix 4: Hardware diagram" the names of the ATMega328 for the XYZ sensors are…See More

"You should try to solder a connection from the FTDI cable to the a 5V input on the board. That's what I do when testing."
John Miller replied to John Miller's discussion Gps Locosys LS20031 & Elevation Rudder Question"thank you two - i will try it tomorrow i have enough for today, i have just destroyed a 3s Lipo while testing this stuff all day.
I have not thought on it, usually the motor is running and when the voltage gets low the motors stop, but i did not…"

If you try to send characters to set GPS parameters, you will have to check "CR" box and "LF" box in the SEND menu of Real Terminal.
In this case, when you send characters, Real Term ends the…"
