Hello fellow enthusiast,
I'm currently working on a project where a UAV will be operating in a relatively quiet cold environment: less then -40 degrees Celsius. (possibly down to -60C or even worse)
We are currently considering using the ArduPilot Meg

I bought these one: http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=1053
Is it compatible with the APM? Because they work in 400MHz and not will cause interferance in my 900 MHz video TX as cause the XBee.
Thanks.
I'm viewing the stream of GPS information coming via the xbee and although some data is obvious, some isn't. I see time, long and lat and number of satellites but what are the other numbers?

The current state of play in the UK (almost no useable video/downlink frequencies, line of sight etc) has made me reconsider focusing on quadcopters instead of fixed wing, as the the increased range of fixed wing etc cannot really be used.

Once I´d like to descripe some strange power behavior of the apm. I tested both verseions - the old board and the new board (1.0 and 1.4) with 2 different IMU shields.
