Is anyone using an APM 2.5.2 or 2.6 with a Lemon Rx satellite receiver? I'm trying, and going nowhere.
I have a Lemon Rx DSM2 satellite receiver (http://www.lemon-rx.com/shop/index.p...&product_id=98), correctly bound to my Tx. I have the Tarot adapter, and the satellite receiver work perfectly with my KK2 (using a modified version of the 1.6 firmware)
My APM (original 3DR, for what is worth) is flashed with 3.1.4 and works fine with a standard Rx, and with a PPM Rx (the latter using a jumper between pin 2 and 3)
I read that in order to enable satellite receivers, you need to jumper pin 3 and 4 instead, and I tried both 2 and 3, and 3 and 4, but nothing. In the calibration screen, there is no signal detected
I tried creating a 7 Ch and 8 Ch model in my Tx (I read that the number of channels might cause problems), but once again it seems to make no difference
Lastly, I saw a reference to a problem with satellite receivers and 3.1.4, but that was for the Pixhawk, so I'm not sure if it's my case. If so, what build is safe to try?
Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

Answering my own question. Jimmy's pull request (http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/spektrum-satellite-directly-to-apm) was not accepted (yet?), so there is no Spektrum satellite support in Arducopter for APM, just Pixhawk
Bummer, it would have been great if it were added (I'm sure it would require a lot of test, obviously)
