Not sure if this is the right place to post this but...

My wife bought me the apm1 for Christmas and I solderd it last night. I was able to upload the new firmware but there is no heart beat. I have the com port configured correctly as I was able to update the firmware.

Not sure what to do now? I have searched the forums but I have not found any solutions. I am on a windows 7 machine.

I have a blinking blue led on the red board which I think says ppm. There is another solid red and yellow light on the red board but I cannot read what it is.

On the blue board I have a solid blue light and a solid blue light on the gps.

Is there way that I can get a refund for this or is there something wrong that I do not know about?

Thanks.
