Since you have assembled and programmed an ArduStation, please comment on what I have found out below:
I was about ready to program the ArduStation through the FTDI connector, but I noticed on the schematic and through a continuity measurement that the third pin from the right on the ArduStation board FTDI connector is hooked to the +5v on the ArduStation board.
What is the intent of providing +5v on the FTDI connector if the FTDI connector is powered by the USB connection?
Is it safe to use either the Sparkfun 3.3v FTDI board or the Ardafruit FTDI cable with +5v on the ArduStation board FTDI power pin (3rd pin from the right)?
I assume that the ArduStation board is powered up using its own power supply during the programming?
I have both the Sparkfun 3.3v FTDI board and the Adafruit FTDI cable. I am very tempted to cut the Vcc pin off of the ArduStation FTDI header since it serves no purpose in relation to the operation of the FTDI board/cable.
Jordi has not responded to this problem yet.

Thanks a lot for the help!!!

I am a student at Georgia Tech working on hooking up the ardupilot to a eflight apprentice airframe. I have no experience whatsoever with rc planes or PID controllers at all. I saw on someone else's page that you wrote a comment about using the ardupilot with one of these airframes. I was wondering if you could assist me with setting the gains on the ardupilot.
Thanks,

Did you get an answer to your July 11 post to Jordi about whether waypoints can be added to the ArduPilot while the airframe is in flight?
Thanks

We started a discussion a few days ago on the Chat of Diydrones.
I sent you , as we didn't finish it, a Private Message with some questions on the choice of your Tx/Rx RC Radio set.
I apologize if i did it the wrong way.
Please let me know if you prefer that i open a discussion to continue on this subject.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,

Were one of the guys working on a Parallax Prop based autopilot?
What has become of the project?
Hi Earl,
How far did you ever progress with using your 6DOF home Acc and gyrocombination? I read all your post on the ardiuno forum and rcgroups but could not tell if you got a working IMU on the ardupilot board.
Regards
Gerrit
