If using RFD900's or any other telemetry radio not operating at 115200 BAUD, do you simply change all the values in the setup guide that ask for 115200 to 57600 (Both in the mission planner software and on the actual Piksi's themselves)?

Thank you

I have followed the wiki exactly and successfully setup the SBP Relay to mission planner on Arduplane 3.3.0, however, The piksi that is connected to the plane never has the red LED flashing.

All settings are set exactly as the Wiki indicates, only difference is using RFD900+ radio's at 57600 BAUD.

I'd probably double check the UARTA baud rate configuration, and the configuration string sent to the radio, via the Piksi console.

If possible prove to yourself the radios link properly outside the Piksi connection.

Ok, 

I got it to work for a second so I know everything is setup ok. I set the BAUD's to what is specified in the Wiki and it did get a float lock for a few min.

I am having a separate problem now and will post a log in a min for analysis.

After a few min of being hooked up with the piksi I always get "No heartbeat packets recieved from GCS" and the plane goes into failsafe mode.

I have never seen this message before plugging in the piksi so I have a feeling it is interfering somehow.

Thank you,

Jason
