"I got it working with the RF baud at 19200, and the serial baud at 57600. I think if you go and slower on the serial link side, it will be to slow for MAVLINK. The max on the RF side is 19200, but the max at the serial link side is 57600, which…"

"I can confirm the above link with the PDF at the bottom of post will set these up properly.   However I have a question hhaving the baud rate set wrong in APM, how do I set the baud rate in the APM code 2.21 to 19200.   Can this be done in…"

"Hi Nosepo, unfortunately, also without the wireless module in the USB adapter, I get the same result. No COM ports are found by the app. I use the app linked in your RC groups post and windows 7."

"Hi Nosepo, thanks for your reply. I took a look at your post, but my problem starts at step 3. The APC program does not find any COM port. If i look in my device manager, COM4 is selected, but the dropdown list in the APC program is empty, also if I…"

"Hey there.   I'm also using the APC220 modules for my APM. Thing is, they worked perfectly with the Ardupilot Legacy protocol, but with the new MAVLink, i think the default rate of 9600 Baud is too low (assumption from my side), because…"

"Hi Mark, Sorry for the delay- I hadn't searched on the apc220 for awhile. In my case, I have the same pins connected as you and am using HK GCS with success. Also, after signal is lost, it picks up the stream again without a hitch. The only…"

"Hi, Don't be discouraged- no extra code is necessary to use for configurator and telemetry. All you'll need to change code-wise is the user setting for baud rate so that it matches the APC220 (you'll likely use 19200)."
