Installed the new 3dr Radio in my (in- progress) 2.6 quadcopter and all works well with respect to flight data, at least on the bench.
Probably a dumb question, but I have now lost 'terminal' capabilities. Worked fine with a USB cable between the copter and the computer, but now only get gibberish that goes on until I disconnect.
I miss the setup, log, and test functions. Is this to be expected with a radio link from the copter to the computer?
Also a comment on the Power Module - Get a Flight Data battery voltage reading of approx. 49V instead of the 11-12 volts I would expect to see. Don't remember if that occurred when connecting with a USB cable instead of the radio link. In any case, sure would like to see accurate battery voltage displayed on the flight data screen.
Just remembered, didn't use the power module when connected directly to the computer - power came from the USB cable.
Any suggestions or comments appreciated.

@CJ,
I believe that using the CLI over the telemetry will only work when the APM is first booting up.
Get into the Terminal Tab, select the APM, but don't hit the connect button yet.
Power the AMP and as it is booting up, hit the connect button and you should get good data.
You might have to hit "Enter" three times to get the CLI prompt.
