Try using the Arduino 022 relaxpatch version. (We don't have this problem because we compile from the command line, and can avoid Arduino's legions of bugs).  If that doesn't work, you can always use a makefile.

One more thing: you are adding this line in the APM_Config.h file, right?

# define CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE APM_HARDWARE_APM2

This is in the manual here.

I think it is all ready there you just need to un remark it at the top of the APM_Config.h file.

Hi Tom,

I was able to modify ArduPlane V2.32 code, compile and upload to APM2.

Note:

- Like Chris mention I'm using Arduino 022 relaxpatch

- I connect APM2 via USB cable

I followed the instruction in the manual and I only copy the ArduPlane and Libraries folder in my Arduino Sketch folder

So to make a short story... It worked!

Have you try using the latest code 2.32?

Thanks for the tips.  I am glad to see that you got your code working as well. Now we are in business...

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!    The bad news is that I am stupid, the good news is that I am not stupid.  All things were setup correctly, just missed on line in the setup guide....

Thank you Chris. Thanks to all others who also helped eliminate other potential problems.  The problem was that even though I read and re-read the instructions I did not notice that I need to uncomment that line in the APM_Config.h file. Didn't even notice that line at all. It took 3 minutes to get it all working.

Now, I can start customizing it and interfacing it!
