Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Paparazzi UAV data link

Hi Rui,

That site you linked claimed their transmitters include up to 48kbps RS232  
on a sidechannel for exactly these purposes.  If that's true, it should be  
plug and play as long as you use the transparent serial protocol and a  
level adapter if necessary.

Cheers,
