Throttle Jumper Cable Question

I've noticed in the new manual on the wiki (http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/wiki/SolderingBoard) there are two jumper cables connected on the bottom instead of just one, can someone explain why there is the need for two of them now? Will there be issues if you use 2.4 code and 2.5 code on the board with both cables hooked up?

Thanks!

  • Thanks guys, I've got it wired up now with the second wire. Can't wait for my E* to get here and the uBlox to come back in stock!

    The extra wire won't affect 2.4 code.

    In the 2.5 code, you can have full flight control override (including throttle) of the aircraft while it's under autonomous control, so we needed to read and write the throttle channel all the time. Thus the additional wire.
