    That would be much appreciated!

    OK, I have an Arduino board now also. Maybe I will tackle the flow charting if you would like.

    I'm afraid not. But it's pretty well commented and easy to follow--Arduino code is easy to read. Even I can do it!

    Chris and Jordi,
    Is there a flowchart of 2.1.1 ? Or an explanation other than code comments ?

    Please, a colleague, you can upload to the forum, a diagram of connections Ardupilot with sensors xy, z pressure sensor and confirm that the soft version of the 2.1
    Grateful

    hello again,.my tricopter uses 3 gyros plugged into escs which run the motors, a 4th gyro controls the rudder via a servo. on the rx i use the rudder channel, the aile, elev and an aux channel ( throttle is controlled by pitch) will I be able to use ardupilot? all I want to do is have the tricopter hold at a given place and altitude for aerial photography and a return to home feature.. Many thanks for any input.. Josh

    Not with ArduPilot. We don't have a spare serial port for incoming data (aside from the one the GPS is using)

    Thanks Chris!!!... i'll give u more info about my crazy project later.. =)

    Yes, it's easy to control two other servos. Just connect their signal lines to a spare digital pin and use our servo routine to control that. That's what we do with ArduPilot 2.1 and up, which supports three outputs (the third is throttle)

    hi... i'm a newbie in embedded electronics and am very happy to join... =)

    thanks for tweaking the board to enable hardware pwm...

    i have a crazy idea of using an ArduPilot...

    in the setup it shows two servos in the output pin...

    i would presume that ArduPilot could control those two servos to
    automatically steer the plane...

    it's probably a stupid question, but i would like to know if two extra
    servos could be controlled by ArduPilot automatically just like the
    way it controls the first two servos... therefore automatically controlling
    all 4 servos instead of just two...

    the answer is probably in the documentation or in the code, I will check
    them both later... i just started using Arduino two weeks ago and started
    coding C as well... i'm not even sure if that's what u call the language for
    Arduino..

    let me know... thanks..
