3689415907?profile=originalThe popular DIY Drones Telemetry Kit is back in stock and better than ever! It now includes a custom XtreamBee adapter-to-APM cable. No more fiddling around with jumper cables and having to check if one fell off (or dealing with bricked Xbees because of a loose power connection). Same price as before ($150.00)

 

You can also buy the cables by themselves ($1.50)

    Ok, just reported about an issue which may occur while building a quad. But dev team find solutions of issues faster than they appears. Good work, keep it up!

    Kirill, there will be another type carried board available soon that allows better mounting of APM for X modes.

    Great addition, this cable makes connection much easier!

    Just a suggestion, it would be also good to produce and sell this cable with angled connector on APM side. It's not always possible to use the straight one, I faced this problem while assembling ArduCopter; if you want to use it in "X" frame configuration, wires from connector will abut into the plate and won't allow to mount a board (I attached the photo and it shows how the problem could be solved).
