I got my easystar flying well with the 2.5.4 Version. Thermopiles
Now I added telemetry X-Bee 2,4 MGHz and ground station beta 2. Generally it works fine, but:
The Elevation shows always around 13000 meters.
Google Earth shows the same Elevation. (13000 meters)
What is working fine, are:
- position
- artificial horizon
- Speed
- Groundspeed
- heading
- Current Waypoint
- Distance
Not working are:
- LIPo ( If you want ArduPilot to measure your battery voltage (to report it in the telemetry stream to your ground station), solder a wire from thehole below to the positive terminal of your battery connector:) I soldered a wire from the marked hole to my + LIPO. So it should show something like 8.4 Volt on the display, but it won´t.
- Throttle SetPoint
- Variometer
- Altitude
I hope it is only a minor bug and anybody has an idea to solve this problem. So far all the instructions and manuals were very well explaint.
Thank you for your help

As you said your heading is working? Do you mean that it works exactly like a compass?
Because I am using a GPS EM-406 and I am unsure how to read my current heading in degrees.
If the heading is referring to the heading to a certain waypoint, how do i set this way point? I am using the latest 2_7_1 program. Thanks!
