Hi,
I'm looking for a simple libray or programming API I could use on a windows PC to send commands to a pixhawk via telemetry. But I do not want to use an existing GUI (groundstation), and preferably I'd like to avoid the complexity of the python mav

I just did today a bench setup and tests of my Talon Vtail mixing.

I decided to take a big jump into arduplane & pixhawk by purchasing a XUAV Talon as my first APM plane. I hear already some voices say I should have started with a Bixler but I should already benefit from my Arducopter knowledge, I hope.

I would lile to use the Survey function in mission planner which uses the CAM_TRIG_DIST method to trigger a camera at regular distance intervals.
I'm using an infrared camera trigger which is activated by a PWM signal (configurable).
The question is

It is decisevly not my day : I took out the 3DR quad that was stored for a couple of months and plugged in the USB cable...nothing, not even a led, a sound.

However I measure only 0,5V on

Hello,
I just experimented a few days ago with my first pixhawk board to calibrate ESCs automatically (all at once).
Normally this works by the following steps:

Anyone succeeded to install external LEDs on Pixhawk?
On APM we could configure the param Led_mode to a binary value representing which actions turn LEDs on A5 and A6.
Is there an equivalent feature on Pixhawk? Found nothing in the wiki about it.
Thx
