"I haven't heard of it, but I'd like it as well, if I add steering to my 6WD.
Do you intend to add the remote base? I'm trying to get mine working. I do have the telemetry link working.

"Anyone active on this thread?
I wired my 3DR radio as mentioned to the ardustation, but it doesn't connect to my APM 2.

"My ardustation 2 is programmed, I've updated the software on the 3DRadio, and copied the parameters. The new air radio does communicate with my ground radio.
Is there a setting to use a 3DRadio instead of the XBee? It powers up saying "starting…"

"@Jared,
Wow! That's a unique set of wheels! So all four wheels are independently powered? I'm using a 2X15 A roboclaw (2 channels), so each set of 3 wheels is driven from a single motor on each side.
I designed and built my platform, and now I…"

"@Jared,
That's about what I'm doing. S.L.O.W.L.Y learning ROS. What are you using to drive your 'bot? I'm using a roboclaw dual motor controller, and I do use an Arduino "in between" along with (for now) an APM.
I want to migrate all GPS,…"

"Received and build the ground station, and it's working.
Got another (flight) 3DR radio (915 MHz). Set up the radio as I did for the (flight) radio on the 'bot, it links to my ground radio and transfers data. Put it on the ground station, and it…"

"@ Jeff,
I've got the Align 450 sprot v2 and also an Align 100 to learn on. I was surprised how small the 100 was when it arrived. Oh well, could be fun.
I'm doing the tail in on the SIM, need to get back to it.

That's great to hear! Better then I expected to hear. I'll definitely work on flying with an APM.
Another question, I remember reading of using a simulator in connection with the APM somewhere. I have the Phoenix simulator; are they…"

"I've been working on adding APM 2.0 to a 6WD rover. The mechanicals need work still. I also have a Trex 450 that I built (kit), but haven't flown yet as I don't yet feel like I can fly the simulator.
After hearing that the APM 2.0 was flying the…"

"@Joshua,
Brief look, the store looks more complete and I see some shipping options. I'll try it out fully later.
Thanks,

"If a near-by motor drawing up to 20A has very little or no affect on a compass, then why does re-bar underground and electrical wiring have an affect? (or so I'm told).
