As I've previously written, I ordered the radio telemetry, which I now got working. No hassle, it worked instantly. The only fault I did was to not turn down the COM-port speed from 115k to 57k, there after it worked as a charm :). The picture displays how the flight controller is connected to the laptop and Mission Planner using the radios. The radios are basically a wireless serial port.
Next, I focused on the darkness or rather how to fly when it's not full day light. Dusk has previously also been a hassle but these lights should mitigate that obstacle. Looking close at the picture below you can see how I wired the break out wire directly to the power distribution board. The board has tiny connectors all over, which allows soldering and therefore can provide extra connectivity as these lights require 11V.
Now to the final product, I started putting the quad back together, putting the lights in place. Hope this can light up any future winter flights.
I decided to go with green on the front and red on the back. Traditionally you should have green to the left and red to the right, but that doesn't help me when I usually see the quad from behind. Therefore I went with red to back and green up front.
