Just got this from Amit @ Flytrex:
Hi Bill,
I'm sorry for the slight delay with my reply! I wanted to get back to you with some proper answer and waited after we finish our local testing.
I'm glad to say that earlier today we finished our testing with the Phantom Vision and indeed Flytrex Core works without a problem with the Phantom Vision. Two notes about installation:
1. Much like with the Phantom v1, to install Flytrex with the Vision you need the Flytrex Phantom Cable (available on our site). However, when connecting the cable you need to connect it to the GPS wire and the GPS female connector on the Vision board, instead of connecting it to the Naza flight controller like it is with the Phantom v1.
2. As for mounting, since the battery door was modified we are no longer able to route the cable through the battery compartment. Therefore, instead of taking the wire through the battery door we suggest taking it through one of the 4 built-in holes that are placed on each of the leg corners (the same hole used for the compass gray wire). The Flytrex cable connector won't go through this hole, so you'll need to cut the cable, pass it through the hold and re-solder the 4-wires in this cable back again - this way passing it through the hole. There are a few others ways you can use to route the cable outside of the Vision, but this seems to be the easiest. This isn't optimal like the mounting option we used with the Phantom v1 since it requires some basic soldering skills (basic 4-wire, but still..).
The unit itself was tested with the Vision just this morning and everything is fully compatible with it. We also added the Vision to the list of available multirotors on our site earlier today.
Let me know if you have any questions and I'll be glad to help with it.
Have a great weekend!
