"@Jordi: Yeah baby! Hey, it's been a long while and I haven't kept up. Hope you guys are happy and healthy and still having loads of fun. Thanks Jordi."
"@Chris: Does the statement "You can even tweak the board to "wirelessly" emulate CTS and RTS signals." mean that wireless programming is achievable? What's the tweak?"
"That's sweet. Another nice option is the Pandora Pan & Tilt Kit - $33, add around $40 if you get the recommended servos

"Peter,
If you read through this site and others, searching for 'arduino' and, for example, 'NewSoftSerial', 'two-way comm', etc., you'll see that an uplink can be added to the ArduPilot. If you can wait however, I'd agree with Chris - the Mega will…"

"No, no, I think what you're doing is great! Mine was mostly an idea & sw design comment for code construction. I think you're providing an excellent framework for people to add their specifics. I'll throw out an example tho... my psuedocode here…"
"Great stuff Jason. I haven't moved off of 2.0, but have been integrating components from later versions as they're made available. THANKS! It's awesome to see things become stable enough to move from the basics to 'mission type' programming. Are you…"
"@Jordi - sorry for the question on the side, but I'm remembering posts in the early ArduPilot days of mixing/matching comm links - 72MHz RC, 900MHz XBee & 2.4 GHz video. If you've switched to 2.4 GHz RC link, what are you running for XBee and Video…"
"I'll weigh in and say yes to all of the above. Not necessarily easy (but it's only time and money : ), and too much to describe here. But, in a nutshell:
A) Gary is right regarding one pilot, one platform. But all this means is that someone has to…"

"Cool stuff Paul. The Raytheon RAID system has been out there for some time with great success, albeit without the altitude and control component (it's tethered). I've heard directly from warfighters that this system provides benefit, even when…"
"Well done guys. We can all appreciate how much work it has really taken to get the project to where it is. Congrats."
"@Graham - I hope this helps - Chris has been helping me out so I feel like I oughtta "give back". It appears that the wp_number is the number of waypoints *not including* the launch, or initial waypoint, making the answer in your example = 2. For…"
"Thanks a million for the replies guys. I will take this offline with Chris. I see where he's going here, and tonight I'll run through a bunch of options - with a new board and with the Arduino IDE suggestion (although, would the IDE issue exist with…"
"Thanks for the reply Chris, I appreciate your time greatly > "At this point the boards and code are pretty well tested,..." - so, you mean there's QA performed on the chips for each board after manuf? I mean, I understand there's plenty of good…"
