Artificial horizon reversed

Hi all,

I have a hawksky and have fitted APM with Xbees to it, I've loaded the most up to date version of APM and the mission planner and have noticed the following.

If I connect to APM using the USB port and view the flight data on mission planner, when the aircraft is banked left and right the artificial horizon rotates correctly, but when I hook up to the APM using the Xbees and view the flight data, when the plane is banked the artificial horizon has reversed and rotates in the opposite direction to the direction that the pane has been banked in.

Am I being really dumb, or is there a roll reverse option that I should be changing as in the Simulator set up options.

Thanks

Martin

Sounds like you put the board in backwards. GPS connectors should always face forwards.

The artificial horizon should always move "in the opposite direction" that the plane is banking. Remember that you're seeing the horizon, not the plane. So if your head is titled right, the horizon looks like it's tilted left.
