Hey guys. So after losing my tricopter from flying too far, I have vowed to never let that happen again. However, my knowledge with this sort of equipment is pretty limited. I've only messed with the KK2 and I don't like the lack of future functionality that board offers. So I ordered this stuff, in order to have a RTH function:
Multiwii and Megapirate AIO Flight Controller w/FTDI (ATmega 2560) V2.0
NEO-6M GPS Module
Multiwii FC I2C-GPS NAV Module
I definitely jumped the gun though, pretty much because the price seemed really good. Problem with this is I have no idea where this stuff connects or why I ordered 2 modules (aside from someone on hobbyking saying to order the NEO and NAV Modules). I believe the I2C thing connects to the board, and I'm guessing that the NEO goes into the transmitter (mine is a 9XR, using DragonLink). Do I have this correct? I just want to wrap my brain around it before it all arrives and I'm sitting there with a lump of cables and boards I have no idea what to do with. I'm in over my head, but I am determined to figure this stuff out. Seems the programming bit will be the most difficult. I have a USBasp. That's another question: do I need anything else? The NEO Module says you need a USB to FTDI adapter board...is that what the I2C Module is for? Sorry for all of my (probably ridiculous) questions. I just can't lose another $450 system from flying too far out...
