	PPM is at the moment sharing a line with servo6, because it's the way it was wired on a Lisa/L board. It would be trivial to adapt the driver to use another line. look at sw/airborne/arch/stm32/subsystems/radio_control/ppm_arch.c . If you manage to do so please adjust the text on this page also.

	If you didn't make the board yourself, then you probably got a calibration file (.xml) from your board supplier. If you didn't receive a calibration file then follow the steps for [http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/ImuCalibration onboard IMU calibration].		Using default settings is always better than '''badly''' caliberated sensors. Having stated that, and if you didn't make the board yourself, then you probably got a calibration file (.xml) from your board supplier. If you didn't receive a calibration file then follow the steps for [http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/ImuCalibration onboard IMU calibration]. If you follow that path, make sure your calibration is very meticulously done.

	For the board to perform some sort of action, a "~~Brain~~" a.k.a firmware must be uploaded to the board. This is done by way of a JTAG cable. If you do not have such a cable, it is not possible to upload your flight plan firmware to the board. You can order this cable a various hardware suppliers. The cable design is also open source, you could opt to make one yourself, but that is not trivial.
