"1. Download and extract the MavLink_FrSkySPort_1.3.zip file   (for example. to your desktop)
2. Open Arduino software and in  menu File/Preference change the sketchbook location to the place you extracted the .zip file, press Ok
3. Restart Arduino…"

"... or edit the MavLink_FrSkySPort.ino file changing
adc2 =analogRead(0)/4;
to
adc2 = 0;
and then recompile the program.. "

"The Teensy should  send the Mavlink request to the APM for getting back the data. Check if you have connected the TX line from the Teensy to the RX line on the APM.
The telemetry radio is just a simple link between your APM and groundstation and…"

"I't seem like the Teensy is not reset after power on. What kind of power arrangement do you have ? i.e is there any large capacitor that makes the power rise very slow to the Teensy?  "

"A2 is coming from Teensy analog port A0, if this port is not connected then you will get a random value as A2.
else if connected you will have 0V = 0 to 3.3V = 255 these values are then scaled at the Taranis to show a representation of the voltage."

"The teensy is getting the power from the S.Port at the FrSky receiver
the other power comes from the USB connector if connected and VIN/VUSB not cutted."

"1. If you are using Teensy, minimOSD and 3DR Radio only the 3DR Radio shall have the TX connected to the APM
2. If the connection VIN to VUSB on the Teensy is not cut, you must be careful  how you power the Teensy, normally S.Port is supplying power…"

"No, thank's ... it's very kind of you but i'm just happy to see that so many people likes the application.
Don't miss to change  to the updated code ( Mavlink_FrSkySPort_1.3.zip) , there was a problem with GPS coordinates for the western part of the…"

"Roger,
Taranis is showing the Speed (FR_ID_SPEED) in knot and is using the following code for this:

frskyData.hub.gpsSpeed_bp = (frskyData.hub.gpsSpeed_bp * 46) / 25/1000;

46/25 = 1.84
This must be a fault in the taranis code. To convert  m/s to…"

"I found the problem, it was in my code . I have updated the file for the Teensy on the main page or you can get it here. Thank's for pointing this out for meMavLink_FrSkySPort_1.3.zip"

"I was running fw 3.1, updated it to  3.1.2 and it still works for me...
I have made a new file with simulated lat/long try to install this on the Teensy
and see if you get 43'23,8644N, 79'16.3368EMavLink_FrSkySPort_Test1.zip"

"Roger,
The data for Lat. and Long you supply is a decimal number and the Taranis  convert this to  degrees and minutes
check this.. http://www.onlineconversion.com/map_decimaldegrees.htm
ap_groundspeed will be zero as long as you don't have real GPS…"
