I'm using the latest NG code, with 2 XBee Pros and sparkfun adaptors. Using the X-CTU serial monitor I can send characters from my laptop's USB xbee to the xbee connected to the IMU, but the data being returned on the link is always either 0x00, 0xF

Hi All,
I am looking for a lightweight camera. I need to be able to digitally access the images in a live feed to transmit over a wireless link. Does anyone know of any such system in the sub 75 dollar range.
Thanks,

Hi,
I need to slow my plane down in AUTO, apparently this is the PID value THROTTLE_P, but I can't find this anywhere.
Has it been renamed?
I can find THROTTLE_ALT_P and THROTTLE_TE_P but I'm not sure.
Any guidance appreciated. Incidently, throttle i
