    Just joined up! I fly RC Helis and planes and would like to get into UAVs. I have looked at you setup and it looks great. I have only worked with MicroChip PICs and use PicBasic Pro as well as assembly coding, so understand the workings of microprocessors, just not the one you use.

    I have an E Flight Apprentice trainer that might be a good candidate for the UAV (lots of payload). It has the Spektrum 2.4 GHz Tx/Rx. Have a 7 Channel Tx. It uses a Y Harness for the ailerons. It does have a digital servo for the elevators. Will your hardware support digital servos?

    I'm sure I will have more questions as I learn more.

    No only software change the current Ardupilot hardware stay the same.

    Will there be any hardware changes with 2.0?

    I think the current MUX code should work. Have you tried it?

    Hi I obtained and built 10 Beta 3 ardupilot boards could you email me, post or point me to the MUX code that was used in that version.

    Thanks, I should have read the instructions closer. I soldered connectors to the board first instead of cutting extension cables. oops.

    James, the right cables are linked to in the building instruction post.

    It's easy, just cut the servo extension cables to the lenght required, solder directly to Ap and it's done.
    Save the extensions remain tips to other uses.

    Does anyone know where I can buy the cables that go between Ardupilot and my Receiver? I know it sounds like a basic problem but all I can find is servo extension cables which have the wrong end on one side so I cant link my board to the receiver.

    Have you considered updating from the ardupilot platform to this[link below...] platform.

    It's the equivalent of a vaioP in a credit-card sized "slot":

    Since It's a complete computer [albeit skimpy on the specs...], you should be able to control everything through it... [servos through usb, camera as a webcam, as well as a sd card for movies and stuff...
