I've been away for a while while waiting for support for 4 channel aircraft, as I have a EZ glider. Looks like i've missed alot, and have a lot to catch up on! At first glance, it appears that only the EZstar is still being supported, is that…
I read that the modems will be running @ 57000 on version 2.1. I have already purchased the 900MHZ XSC modules which are limited to 9600. Can the baud rate in 2.1 be slowed down to 9600 with a simple change as in the past. I'd hate to have to toss…
"jordi,
Will the XSC your using support 57600bps? I read it was limited to 9600."

"Here's a question for Jordi or Chris. How old is the XY sensor your using? I heard the the opamps were changed in early 2008, and I beleive mine is the older model. What are the implications for the PID loop?"
"John,
Either would be fine."

"John mac,
You just need this software http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
And this connector http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8772"

"Thanks Jordi, Yep! That exactly what I had in mind. I'm pulling the cap off tonite, and installing an extra one horizontally.
BTW, i'm so glad to see you have the XSC. This mean I will be in full compliance with what is to come!"

"Didn't mean to get us off track here with the telemetry question! This 2.1 annoucement really reallly sounds good, and that setup software is icing on the cake. you guy's continue to amaze. When do you think the FunNjet / Superstar versions of 2.0…"
"Thats more good news Jordi!
BTW, If anyones planning on getting the XSC long range Xbee, be aware that I have just discovered it will not fit the Adafruit board due the the extra lenth hitting 2 componets. :-(. I'll have to remount then to the…"

""Fred: Why not use two GPSs, one for ArduPilot and one for OSD? Or change the code to use a NMEA parser instead. Maybe we'll return to NMEA in the future, but for now I think two GPSs are a very easy workaround."
Yeah, i'm going to do this for…"

"I thinking that the change to binary GPS communication, and the higher baud rates will impact Xbee telemetry? For example, No more NEMA sentences sent to google Earth. I could just move the Xbee over to the OSD which has it's own GPS Module…"
"I'm I understanding correctly that the Superstar version no longer uses the rudder for navigation, but rather banks the wings? If so, I think thats a first for basic inexpensive autopilots!"
