"Hi Arthur,
Cheers for the update. I agree with Ricardo, if DroidPlanner could control the antenna tracker that would be amazing. I would be happy to help fund your ground station by giving you $50 towards it if you could look into it.

Hello,I finally managed to save up enough to upgraded to 2.5 and on my first test flight with it yesterday on RTL mode it flew over head for a bit and then took off. I followed it for a few km but lost it.No idea how to put up the telemetry logs for…
"Thanks for all your help with the joystick control of the APM1. I have managed to get the new 2.6 code to compile using the IDE and i have edited out the "trim_radio();" you said to but i have no idea what to do with the

"Cheers for that. I am looking at another post as I am trying to set up my APM to fly with an xbox controller and no other RC gear. Cheers for all the help"
"I'm using the Arduplane. I have changed the GPS Protocol from auto to MKT16 and it took me down from 700+ bytes to 300+ bytes.
I have looked at the 2.5 code and by changing the GPS setting it will fit on the board but the 2.6 wont"

"I think i have disabled everything i can find on this post but the IDE is still telling me i am "region text overflowed by 342 bytes" any idea what else i can disable or might have missed?"
"I have managed to get it compiling now but i'm getting this error message. "avr/bin/ld.exe: region text overflowed by 724 bytes" I'm guessing that sketch is two big so going to see what all can be deleted. once i have uploaded my modified code…"
"when ever i try to compile the code i keep getting an error " AP_Int16 format_version;" it wont run past this line any ideas?"
"Ok cheers for that. Was just hoping that there might be a way of getting the mission planner to update and use my new code. Cheers for the help "
Hello,Its been a year since I flew my plane and I'm making a few changes. Mostly I want to be able to fly the plane just using an xbox controller. I have read this post and even asked a few Qs but I'm still stuck. The Mission planner will download…

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm getting rid of my rc and I am going to try to get 10km from the 3DR radio's i seen somewhere that they have already got 7.6km+
If I reduce the telemetry refresh will this slow down the tracking on my Antenna…"

"Is this the correct way to set up the APM 1 for joystick control only? My RC isn't great anymore and i would like to swap over to just using the joystick but didn't know how to do it.
Do you just edit the code in the arduino interface?"
