    @TomP Wonderful! So glad to hear. And I would really love to hear how the flight testing goes. We've never tried a VOXL 2 (or VOXL 2 mini) on a fixed wing (with ArduPilot) so be careful and triple check to make sure everything looks setup correctly before launching.

    @Eric-Katzfey

    I am also messing around with Ardupilot on a fixed wing, and wondering if any sort of voxl-io conf is needed for passthrough the PWM and CRSF RC? in a previous SDK, I believe there was a voxl-io-server, which no longer exists in 1.5 SDK, from what I can tell.
    I have upgraded the firmware and followed along with the rest of the thread.
    Thanks for any info.

      @Sam-Kiley No need for any voxl-io configuration. voxl-io-server is for use with PX4, not ArduPilot. The ArduPilot firmware will detect if there is a VOXL ESC connected or a VOXL 2 IO board connected. If it detects the IO board then you will have up to 8 channels of PWM available.

          I would like to add a UART device to the starling 2 max running arducopter. can i use the VOXL 2 IO board's UART output to connect it to an a serial device? if so, what would the UART number be within arducopter?

            @adiprin1 Can you please start a new forum topic for this? And please include information about the device that you are looking to attach? Thanks!
