I can answer one of those questions which is the Serial 4/5 cable. You should be able to make Y cable. A cable with one 6pin DF13 end that fits into the Pixhawk but then splits into two cables, one that goes to the GPS and one that goes to your FTDI cable or whatever you’re using to connect the debug output to the computer.
We have a wiki page which shows how to build the debug cable but I believe it’s now incorrect. The orange and yellow wires need to be moved along two places. The power, gnd and the slots where the orange and yellow wires are currently connect in that diagram would instead need to be connected to the GPS.

That's in the case with no airflow? If so, it seems pretty good.Could the issue be more to do with the sun beating down on a flat black case?

@chris, I must have got the wrong end of the stick somewhere. At one point I thought I saw 50C as the limit for the Pixhawk.
@Tridge, GitHub shows the last Rover specific edits seemingly about 10 days ago, yet there are more than daily updates on the firmware site - is Rover rebuilt every time there's a commit in another platform even if there are no changes? Thus I only need to look at builds between the last rover edit and theJan release?
If you look in the first part of a dataflash log you can see the builds used to create the version of code including the px4 and nuttx versions.

First of all, is there a mod who can change the title to something more correct and less scaremongery (since I was wrong about the thermal thing)?
