Hello,
I am eager to know if its possible to access the info from the 3DR USB Radio on the ground station like a COM port. I want access the info from the 3DR radio in Visual Basics. Is it possible to do so?
Thanks
Gidda

Yes, if you know how to receive data in visual basic using a com port then you can receive all the ground station data. I have written a simple program in Visual C++ 6.0 using the Mission Planner C# source code that can be downloaded online as a guide. It is tricky to receive all the data though. I believe I could only receive about half of the sensors data before I sent a command to the autopilot switching the HIL mode before all the sensors data was able to be received. Let me know if you would like to see my source code (very simple - one file with about 100 lines of code for accelerometer, gyro, compass, and gps).
