Glen Leeon posted a discussion in PIXHAWK
I have just acquired an Iris 2, and was wondering what's the latest firmware I can use on this platform, or, can it use all the latest firmware updates? Also what mods are now available for it or should I look into?

"Thanks for the link John,
Don has given me some suggestions, but still no joy in complete fix. I have managed to get the telemetry data working between ground modem and air modem, however, as soon as I turn on my Taranis radio, I get a…"

"Yes it is strange that I have the modems working with Mission Planner, so that tells me that there is nothing wrong with the RFD modems but when I try to use it with QGC I get nothing so it must be a setting or parameter or something like that."

"I've just read on Ardupilot they recommend to run a separate 5v power line to the onboard radio. At the moment power is being fed from the Pixfalcon FC. Would this make any difference? It doesn't seem to matter if I connect to Mission Planner,…"

"This is off the RFD900 datasheet/manual.
Pin 1 of the FTDI cable (black wire) should connect
to pin 1 of the RFD900 header. In order to
power the modem from the +5V USB power, a jumper is
needed to connect pins 4 and 6.
To power the modem from an…"

"Am I reading this right?
The modem that is on the quad should have a jumper across pins 2 and 4.
And the modem connected to computer via USB has jumper across pins 4 and 6?
Thanks.

"Can anyone tell me if the power board (ACSP4) that is an optional with the Pixracer is any different to any other pdb? Is there anything special that is on it that it's a must have?
Thanks

"Hi Guys,
Just got my new 900x in the mail last week. I am hoping to connect a D4R-ii for rc control. Seppo assures me this is possible on the model which is why I get him to send me the new improved model. Not exactly sure how this is done yet or…"
