Hi,
I have an old setup instruction on a blog i made a long time ago.
http://fotoflygarn.blogspot.com/2012/03 ... plane.html
But it's still Up to date.
There's also a guide for setting up for GPS there.

You need to install Java jre for the old MujltiWii Config.

There's a function in the code that is supposed to setup the Gps module at boot.
But you can also set up the GPS manually first.
Gps should have free sight to see satellites good.

Hi Plüschi,
Intresting aproach.
Do you have any expectation of range on the WIFI?
I play around a lot with ESP's for home automation and have several laying around.
If you could get say 3-400m it would be good as LOS radio in a small plane.
I think i will test to put it in something and test it.

The Multiwii boards with Atmega 328 usually have 5V logic level.
You need a level converter to protect the PI if it don't handle 5V.
Logic Level Convert can be found everywhere on Ebay etc ( Logic Level Converter Module Bi-Directional for Arduino 5V-3V )
