Re: [Paparazzi-devel] FrSKY Radios

[Gareth Roberts]

Hi Jeremy,

I'm using DFR-4 FAAST compatible receivers with a T6EX-FAAST & Umarim and  
so far they are working excellently.
They are also lightweight (the one I have is 4 channels, but outputs 7 PPM  
channels) cheap and widely available.
I briefly looked at telemetry, I read somewhere on't internet the issue is  
the maximum baud-rate is not in fact the advertised 4800bps and it starts  
dropping packets silently, but I could be wrong.  There was an effort to  
get APM2 mavlink running over it.

At some point I hope to use the PWM RSSI output which the modules also  
provide in CPPM mode.

Cheers,
Gareth
