Hello,
Today i just received the mediatek met3329 gps with adapter from diydrones.
I connect it to serial1 on a arduino mega 2560 and load the example sketch found here.

I've been busy building up my Arducopter Hexa. I purchased an Autopilot current sensor (180 Amp, vs the standard 90 amp) and am soon to wire it up.
Forgive me if this has been answered else where or is completely obvious, but I hav

Just a simple auto-takeoff -> loiter(5s) -> fly to WP 1 -> loiter(5s) -> RTL -> Loiter(5s) -> auto-land.
Thanks :)
