"I have seen some clever ways of hooking up the GPS and Compass, but no-one has shown how they have hooked up their inputs (Rx) or outputs (motors/servos).
If anyone has worked out an elegant way of doing this could they please post pictures."
"I like the way you have hooked up the GPS/compass.
I am surprised that we have to do this sort of thing though. Surely the designers would have known that external GPS/Compass modules would typically have two cables (not one).
Does anyone know of an…"
"I'm surprised that there is an internal compass jumper on these boards (I hadn't noticed that before) as the spec states 'No onboard compass'. Strange.
Out of interest, did the (external) compass work before you cut the jumper?"
Have you been able to test the board?
As there is precious little independent information about these boards publicly available any review of the board would be greatly appreciated.
No, not yet - I'm waiting for some early-adopters to report if they are any good :)
I would be interested to see how you hook up the servos, and exactly what the white connectors are (are they DF13, or DF13-style?)
Hope your board…"
"Sorry if this is a foolish question, but is the "CLI full accel calibration" documented anywhere?
I have had a look and can't find reference to it in any of the documentation."

Ah! I understand now.
Thank you for the comprehensive and very informative reply. It has really helped me out (The ability to put the APM upside-down solves some build problems…"
"Can anyone help me with this?
I am really interested in using this configuration (APM 2.5 upside down with AHRS_ORIENTATION set to roll 180), but I'm now sure how it works. Normally I would hit reset on the board after I have installed it in the…"
"Hi Andrew,
Your mounting looks really neat, but how do you reset the board? Don't you reset the APM just before each flight to make sure it is calibrated correctly?

Hi,Sorry for the noob question (I have only just learning about this stuff).Have any of the Australian users here had any success using an ALDImobile SIM (carrier is Telstra) with SIM900?I just got a SIM900 shield but when I put the ALDImobile SIM…
