Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I have been flying (short-range) FPV with an Easystar clone for some time, and I am now installing an auto-pilot (ArduPlane + CRIUS AIO Pro) in my plane.

"Hi. Someone (skelator) on the HK product page claims that this modem is based on the following RF module:
http://www.dorji.com/docs/data/DRF4431F27_DRF4432F27.pdf
Similar to the older Si4431, but with higher output power (27dB/500mW). "

"Hi. I am also wondering what is inside... Could this modem use a YS-C20L module ?"
"This is not correct: in the minim OSD the video_in and video_out are separate pins and they are not connected.
If the maxim chip is fried (or just not powered), you get no video signal at all."

"Hi Jon Sogi,Perhaps this answer comes too late... but anyway here are some of the parameters you may check/set in the APM_confi.h:
#define CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE APM_HARDWARE_PIRATES#define PIRATES_SENSOR_BOARD PIRATES_CRIUS_AIO_PRO_V1
// uBlox…"
#define CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE APM_HARDWARE_PIRATES#define PIRATES_SENSOR_BOARD PIRATES_CRIUS_AIO_PRO_V1
// uBlox…"
"I don't know... perhaps some #define is incorrect ? Do you have
#define CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE APM_HARDWARE_PIRATESin APM_Config.h ?(most recent code: http://code.google.com/p/megapirateng/source/browse/branches/ardupl...)"

"I have a v1, so I cannot tell for sure.... But I guess it should be ok."
"Oups, sorry, I meant ArduplaneNG (not ArdupirateNG)."
"Hi. You have to use ArdupirateNG. The hardware of the Crius board is not compatible with the Megapirate code (sensors are connected via i2c bus in CRIUS, but Ardupilot uses SPI, etc.)"
"Hi.
The max7456 chip is quite fragile. As far as i understand, it can easily be killed by slight voltage differences between the analog and digital grounds (or Vcc) for instance.
I already fried too boards... but it is not very difficult to repair…"

"Hi,
As many of you, I already fried two minim boards (using a single Lipo)...
However I could repair it by replacing the max7456 chip (available as free sample on Maxim website).It is quite straightforward to do, but I posted some details here:…"

"Yes, I am following that RCgroups thread too ! But the title is not that explicit, since it does not mention ArduplaneNG :-(By the way, is the "diff" of between JLN's ArduplaneNG and the Arduplane 2.4 available somewhere ? I would like to estimate…"
"Vladimir, thanks for your reply. I am ok with setting the failsafe on the TX&RX side (using trim etc., as you wrote), but I suspect that my problem is on the ArduplaneNG side: If I switch off the TX, the receiver correctly sends a throttle value…"
"Thank you for your reply. My receiver (FrSky) also has a failsafe, so I can certainly do as you suggest.
I though it could be nice to use the built-in 'failsafe' function of the arduplane code, but if you did not succeed either I will probably give…"
