HI,
Happy thanks for the GCS!
I have run into a couple of issues (last one nit-picky) and was wondering if anyone someone has any insight.
Using Apm Mega 1.02, UBLOX, 1.2.38 GCS, 72mhz radio.
As mentioned in other posts in this forum the GCS shows No

I'm getting readings from airpressure and airspeed sensor that are somewhat unstable.
It happens when board powered up through USB only, BEC only, and through USB + BEC.
readings from the sensors jump from 0 to 10m/s (airspeed) and from -0.3 to

I got a MT3329, and I was able to successfully connect it to an Arduino Uno board.
Everything goes flawlessly: only the date is apparently received as 0/0/2000, and in this way displayed.

I have reviewed many of the discussions here that talk about the need to connect a LIPO before you connect the USB if you have ESCs connected, and the suggestions in some places that this is related to blowing mux outputs. It's clear that despi
