"@ TClll & Roo,
Thanks.  My major malfunction was that I didn't have waypoints  loaded into the AMP.  I've now run a couple of missions with resonable sucsess.
Still go a couple of questions:
1.   Is there a way to search this forum other than…"

"I really need help.   I am having no luck with rover and can't get it to do much of any thing that makes any sense. 
I currently have the equipment set up on my work bench with a servo connected to AMP output 1 for steering and another servo…"

"u4eake ---   I think you are assuming that I know more that I realy do.  I can understand how the rudder stick could be used as a three posit switch (Left-Center-Right).  The  problem is that I don't know how to implement that.  Should I simply plug…"

"@ John H ---  Are you steering me toward Jean-Louis's Radio set up?   If so, I don't get it. Jean-Louis has an 8 channel radio.  What are you trying to show me?
Please don't mistake my fustration for rude sarcasm."

"Hmm,  so I think I do need a 6 channel radio.  Where chans 1 & 2 are use for steering and throttle, chans 3 & 4 are not used and AUX chand 5 & 6 are used for OPTION and MODE. 
Is that right? If so I need another radio.  dang it."

"Does the code absoulutly requite a 6 channel radio?
Zero success. I can’t seem to get rover to do anything. Manual mode doesn’t work (well it dose seem to do something, some time, but never anything consistant. I’m using Xbee telemetry.I do not have…"

"Magnetic declination?  How is it entered?   I've enabled the compass via CLI,  but I don't know how to enter declination (12.25 in my neighborhood).    There also seems to be a way to do this in the Configuration menu under Hardware Options.  I've…"

Now what?  What do I button should I push to make rover do somthing?"
