Posted here earlier: You can put it inside the plane's fuselage, etc as long as the plane is made out of the usual materials. Should face up towards the sky.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for that. The reason I asked is my Mikrocopter (quadrocopter) info on fitting the GPS unit was most emphatic that the unit faced a certain way in relation to the front of the machine.
Cheers

Hi all,
An easy question for you experts...
Mounting the EM406a GPS unit.
Which side is to the front of the 'plane in respect to the connecting lead?
I can't see any reference in the instructions.
Thanks
John
Hi guys, THE SEQUEL

To you all....THANKS for your input.

Does anyone have connected a X-3D gyro (http://wiki.xufo.net/wiki/X-3D) withe the Ardupilot? I purchased a Silverlit X-UFO (http://wiki.xufo.net/wiki/X-UFO) and I wonder, whether I can use the gyro with the Ardupilot oder the Ardupilot to control the Silverlit x-ufo...
sorry John Chris seems to have the best solution there.... as well he is right we really ought to post more in the forum with a specific topic and specific discussion on that problem This way others can review it later in a more organized fashion. Just my 2cents.
I don't know why, either, and it's too hard to figure out why telegram-style in this sort of forum. I'll PM you my address; just send it to me and I'll program it for you and send it back.
Hi Chris,
The battery is 5 volts, I can plug it into the board or the rx'er and everything works the same.
As far as I can tell the board is working fine. As I've said before all the led's work as per the "Correct Ardupilot LED behavior" instructions.
I can't understand why the upload appears to go half way and then the error comes up.

Anyone have any luck with the Locosys GPS? I've got mine hooked up, the blue LED is flashing and flashing and flashing...
