My Flash based ground station is now up and running. I'm using Serproxy to connect Flash to the Serial Port and the Xbee radios. I have a simple command parser on the plane integrated with the the GPS parser so I can have 2 way comm over the single serial port. I can send basic WP commands or PI tuning values. GPS is collected and output as KML values through Copy and Paste.

I will rework it so it is user friendly. Any suggestions or wants? I will post it as soon as I can.
You might try changing the "net_port1=5331" to "net_port9=5331" and then try to telnet to the 127.0.0.1 5331 as Jason suggested.

I was successful in establishing a telnet session to the serproxy and seeing the same output as the serial port monitor in the Arduino IDE. However, once I initiate the connection the GCS, the information does not change even if I click on the "Read" button.
telnet 127.0.0.1 5331
This will output the raw data to the unix terminal.
# Config file for serproxy
# See serproxy's README file for documentation
# Comm ports used
comm_ports=9
# Default settings
comm_baud=115200
comm_databits=8
comm_stopbits=1
comm_parity=none
# Idle time out in seconds
timeout=300
# Port 9 settings (ttyS0)
net_port1=5331

I finally got around to trying the GCS executable. It runs fine but my question is this, the Google maps window is overlaid on some of the right side of the window, is there a way I can fix that? Is there a way I can get a version that does not have the Google maps window? I don't really need or want the map window, I like the interface as shown above, nice and clean and clear analog gauges!
Thanks,Nathaniel
