Is there a way to do high-amperage current sensing and to get the data into the APM 2.6 telemetry stream that does *not* require installing a Criticality One, single point of failure into the Power Distribution system? ("Criticality One" being…

"Okay, I will see if I can find an old case and also look into the Power Module. Thanks again for your help, OG. I appreciate your patience and now feel confident in the 2.0 and my ability to get it working smoothly. Cheers!"

"Okay, thanks for your patience. I can be pretty stubborn when I get an idea in my head. ;-)So I understand now that you're telling me that there is no real operational benefit of choosing 2.5/2.6 over 2.0 and I will go ahead with the board I have.…"

"Lol! I guess I'm not explaining myself very well, either. ;-) You're not really answering my overall question. I'm not worried about "upgrading" per se. I know the 2.0 can fly well. I just want to know if 2.6, (or 2.5.x) represents any significant…"

"I appreciate your help in walking me through this, OG. I don't want to seem like I'm arguing with you. I'm just trying to gauge how much of an actual improvement the new hardware is over the 2.0 release. How much trial and error has been eliminated,…"

"I'm building a hex. Are there low emf 6 in 1 ESC's available?And now we're getting to the real issue here, when you say, "if you going to change all that you may want to pick up a new one." I'm a noob. How am I supposed to know if I *should* change…"

"Thanks for your help.Okay, so no case. What about barometer issues?Can I use the Power Module with 2.0?Can I use separate GPS/Compass/Magnetometer, plug n' play? I assume they separated those functions from the main board for good reason. How…"

"Okay, so upgrade the firmware to 3.1. Or is it 3.0 *then* 3.1? I don't imagine old wiki contains clear instructions for specific upgrade to 3.1 or even where to get the code that is compatible with 2.0 board. See my problem?But okay, say I go with…"

I started building an ATG-600 "supposedly carbon fiber" Hexa a couple years ago when that airframe was brand new, and ordered an APM 2.0 for control; it was also brand new at the time. But the project never got off the ground, since OTR trucking…
