Hello, I've just been experimenting with xBee Pro on XtreamBee boards. While connected to FTDI (cca 3.6V) everything works perfectly. I've thought the board is 5V tolerant but after connecting to 5V powered Atmega8 board, the rx led stopped blinking
Read more…My friend and I fried the 328 on our APM and replaced it with an ATmega88 I had lying around. However, when I tried to flash this new chip, the PPM encoder hex from the repository (r638) didn't seem to work (to be expected; it's a different chip).

I'm going through the ArduIMU code to enable an MTK GPS, and I noticed this odd part of setup():
//Setup EM406 for SIRF binary mode at 38400bit/s
#if GPS_PROTOCOL == 2
init_gps();
#endif
This would imply that only the EM406 GPS configuration ca
I'm setting up a new ArduPilot+ArduIMU for the first time.
I have the DIYDronesMediaTek MT3329 GPS, and my understanding was that it already has the custom firmware for MTK binary protocol.
When I build the arduimu code (version 1.7), it only works if
