How do I use the OPlink with Phoenix Pilot?  I plugged it in to the GCS and it is not recognized.  Do I need to I need to flash a new boot loader?

I tried asking in IRC but no one responded.  Is that the wrong forum for help?

Oops!  I forgot I had to unplug the board before rescue!  All uploaded now.

Can Anyone give me the settings for flight control?  There are a lo t of new or different options from OP GCS.

38 kbit, power level as is legal in your country. set base station as coordinator and put the base station id in the coordinator id field of the remote modem.

Thank you for the quick response.  I am able to see the uplink in the GCS but can't seem to get the revo modem to appear, even though I gave it power.  What and where do I need to activate to get it to show up?

I am on the IRC channel now if you are available.

First thing I did but it made no difference.

I did some testing and the funny thing is that when I flash the Oplink with pipextreme firmware and plug it in to TL GCS, I get the icon on the right to configure it.  I suspect that I somehow need to activate the oplink on the revo or that the pip extreme code needs to be flashed to it somehow.

Maybe the code was stripped from the Revo target.

oplink functionality is definitely available in the revomini firmware.

Revo: Radioport=Telemetry, Coordinator=False, UAVTalk=True, Comspeed=38400, maxrfpower=(set to your liking)

Oplink: Coordinator=True, UAVtalk=True, comspeed=38400, maxrfpower=(set to your liking)

One should probably pair the modems correctly, but its working as is so I never bothered.

I just left it for 10 minutes and the blue light on the oplink came on, indicating a link.  How do I configure it for vehicle control?

Thanks!

I have all this settings and have the
