Hello folks!
I've just purchased ardupilot mega v1.4 and arduIMU v2 flat. For now I've connected ardupilot to my own ftdi cable which based on ft232rl chip. Many of my projects were tested using that one. But for arduino I had to solder CTS and DTR w

Mediatek w/ adapter basic board TTL level compatibility with arduino.
Can I directly connect the serial pins on an Arduino to the pins on the adapter board? I believe the Arduino uses 5v TTL and the MT3329 appears to be LVTTL. Does the adapter board handle the discrepancy, or is there more work involved?
Thanks!

Mediatek GPS: Change default output to binary?
I'm using a hardware configuration which doesn't allow me to send commands to my mt3229 GPS, so I'm wondering whether it is possible to configure the mt3229 to binary, and then store this configuration so it will output binary in stead of NMEA when p

In ArduPilot's code, it is commented that if possible 50Hz looping is preferred. However, during flight data collection, collection frequency fell short of 10Hz. Does anyone know if it is possible to increase the sampling frequency? Many thanks!
