So i've soldered the electronics (APM+IMU off DIYDRONES)
ive uploaded the RC2 code,
enabled the magnetometer in the code,
used CLI for the offsets, all works,
ArduCopter - Current settings
-----------------------------
Firmware: 1.54
Magnetom. offsets (x,y,z): -42.50, -23.50, -160.50
Accel offsets (x,y,z): 2016, 2044, 2061
Min Throttle: 0
Magnetometer 1-ena/0-dis: 1
Camera mode: 0
Flight orientation: + mode
I've seen someone using the terminal prompt to show different readings of gyros, accelerometers, GPS etc... but it's not the CLI menu, it was some setup thing - how do i get there ?
also,
what is the DIP switches roles ?
i got the board with
1=up, 2=dwn, 3=dwn, 4=up.
then i've read in the wiki that #1 is for flight mode, so i put it down and it's + flight mode now.
what 2,3,4 switches do ?
what more tests and checking can i do until i get my frame and motors ?
i'd like to check all reading, GPS, magneto, etc... to see that all's working....
thanks !

i put the GPS module out of the window and its blue led stopped blinking - it's constantly ON.
the serial monitor sending S in flight mode still dont return the GPS position...
i guess these are the long number at the end - 0.0000 ?

DIP switches are not all implemented yet, don't bother with the ones not described
you get those sensor readings when you connect APM in non-CLI mode and send S in serial monitor
