    Also, here's a tutorial on setting fuses.

    hi Gordon,

    The boot is correct. Did you check the fuses, and also did you select Arduino Diecimila as the board in arduino IDE?

    I have built up an Ardupilot Beta 3 running at 16mhz. I loaded and verified the bootloader (ATmegaBOOT_168_diecimila.hex). Is this the correct one? I then try to load a simple program via the FTDI interface and I get the following error: avrdude: verification error, first mismatch at byte 0x0000 0x0c != 0xff. I can burn the same program directly onto the ATmega168 without the bootloader and it works communication out the FTDI interface. Any ideas?

    OK Chris, thanks for that clarification.

    That code is incomplete--we have beta code we're testing that has that routine, however. The Applet folder is just stuff required by Arduino.

    HI Chris, nice I am presently looking at the options for building an autopilot for aerial mapping. Had a look at your code (linked in the comment above) and there is refererence in the code to a proximity routinw which I couldn't find - is the code incomplete or am I not looking in the right place? Also in the zip file is an applet folder - what are the contents of that folder for?

    For Chris,

    You have mentioned that you are decoding binary gps info. Can you point me to the code or explain how this is done?

    For Michael King: The MicroGCS still will not run on W2K.

    Do you think that this autopilot can be integrated into a flying wing, or is it designed for all control surfaces.
    Also, is there any chance you could post some of the software so I can wee what I am up against, or did you want to keep it under wraps while in final stages for release?

    You entry the waypoints using the Arduino IDE (via USB)

    We haven't decided what language to port the groundstation into. Right now we're using LabView.

    Sound like a challenge to me.

    I actually was part of my schools AUVSI UAS competition. I have a ground station in the works written in C++. What code will the software be in? Also, how will the autopilot itself connect to a computer to input the way points(ie via usb)?
