WIKI: improvement proposals from newbies experiences

[GoFaster]

My understanding is that the U.FL connector on the board for the GPS antenna pigtail is only good for a few connect/disconnect cycles. If true, might want to add a warning to the 'GPS and Groundplane' wiki section.

I've dis-/connected the plug dozens of times.
But yes - you need to be careful not to bend the plug.
Will add a warning to the Wiki....

http://autoquad.org/wiki/wiki/getting-s ... n-windows/ is missing a small step right at the beginning:

After installing the QGroundcontrol-Software and starting it for the first Time: When selecting the "Engineer"-Tab you have click "Main Widget"->Autoquad in order to bring up the Autoquad controls - otherwise you will not see them.

Ok, thx. I simply stole your words - they are now part of the official AutoQuad Wiki!

It might be worth noting in the Static calibration section that buildings vibrate less the lower you are. My first results had vibration. This was due to the bus that runs outside and the fact that I was calibrating on the first floor of my house because I figured the structure would dampen the vibration, this is the opposite of true. I learnt a lot from the holography guides on Youtube.

Not in the air yet but loving this thing already!

Thx DWBB,
I've added your proposal to the Wiki.

Radio Connection: FUTABA

To add in wiki something like:

"If using a FUTABA S-Bus receiver you must activate it in the firmware (default is Spectrum):
1.- Connect to AQ using QGC. Set "Main widget - Autoquad"
2.- "Flashing and Setup". In "Radio Type" set "FUTABA"
3.- Transmit to AQ > yes
4.- Reset AQ.
5.- Connect again to AQ.
Now the Radio should work. Blue bars moves with Tx sticks"

Additional comments:
- Bluebars showing Rx channels moves slowly (1-2 sec after moving the Tx stick) Is it normal?
- Channels are set for Throttle in the right stick (normally in Europe is used as Ch3 in left stick) How to change?

Thx Angel!
Added it to the Wiki.

Sorry, but it was already in the wiki that after every radio setting change the transmit and reset AQ was needed.
