"Hi. 

I think the apm_status_message comes from the base branch (found here: https://github.com/chsw/MavLink_FrSkySPort)

This is by design actually.
The code is designed to emulate different frsky sensors. If you disable FLVSS, its stops reporting voltage as FLVSS. It still emulates a FAS-sensor though, so the voltage you see is from voltage/current sensor. 
The…"

"There is no problem with the coordinates using this code and a Teensy 3.1 board.
The gps-coordinates is sent as 32 bit values. If the problem is isolated to gps-coordinates, I would start by making sure that these 32 bit values is handled correctly…"

"As far as I know, it can't run on a Atmel-board without some modifications. Since I don't have a working atmel-board, I haven't tested to see what needs to be changed though."

"For those of you who use my fork of this project, there is a new release:
https://github.com/chsw/MavLink_FrSkySPort/releases/tag/1.4_rc2

This release includes updated versions of my lua-scripts.
ApmTelem is needed for all my other scripts to…"

"I don't know the correct terminology but basically the coordinates are expressed in degrees. This is what you see in mission planner. The coordinates are expressed as degrees with decimal points.
You can also use minutes and seconds to express the…"

"That's strange. I'm in the N/E quadrant, but the numbers I get is exactly the same in my Taranis as it's reported by Mission Planner (after a manual conversion from degrees in Mission planner to degrees and minutes in Taranis)."

"The images is pushed to my github. Unfortunately it seems like openTx has some kind of problem with them, or images that is 7x7 in general. I have to investigate a little."

"Thanks. I'll take a look at these as soon as possible. I think the message-log will look nice with some icons."

"Unfortunately it seems like the the resolution of A2 is only 8 bits.
The current implementation is sending hdop /4. If you configure A2 with a range of 1024, you should get a close enough value of the actual hdop.
You don't need the scripts if you…"

"Thanks, I've implemented the byte-stuffing algorithm as you described it (I don't have the protocol specification). I did some quick testing and it seems to work, but please report if you find any abnormalities."

"Thanks for the report. I've  changed the checked in version to look for the bmp's in /BMP now.
But remember that the code/scripts in master is experimental and will constantly change, and not always work. There are currently no stable release of the…"

"The mixerscripts should be "installed" under "Custom Scripts" (second to last tab under model settings).
Use for example LUA1 and select ApmTelem under script."

This is, however, a work in progress so your…"

"I mostly use the built in serial monitor in Arduino actually. 
Don't really like the arduino-ide, but since I only made small changes I haven't looked into any alternatives."
