"Got some good advice on the chat from Darren, thanks Darren. 
The file that needs to be hacked is the control_modes.pde file.
 
The dipswitch settings are controlled by the following lines:
 
mix_mode = (PINL & 128) ? 0 : 1;
if (mix_mode == 0) {…"

"Hello,
mighty interesting project! :) I'm trying to do the same thing and have a long-range signal between my ardupilot and my UAV, and was considering Xbee 868 modules but due to some problems with the duty cycle I started searching for other…"
