    I can think of a few uses, groundstart detection, auto-landing assistance with a high rate near earth sonar-altimeter. or potentialy even obstical avoidence... have you had any more tests lately? are/when you going to mount that in an airframe?

    Fly ? What fly ?
    I only run mine on the bench. Less mishaps that way.
    Still have some tho like shorts, solder blobs, etc !

    Earl - fun project and all but the million dollar question is how does it perform when flying 15 m/s at 2 meters over grass? We want some flight test results ;)

    I forgot to mention that the data in the GCS output is out tx3 for the Xbee. So change all Serial3. to Serial. to print out to the normal TX0.
