Have you tried re-loading code with Arduino 22?  Try this if not and clear all eeprom memory.

Thank you so much for your reply, could you give me any hint how to do this (or link)?

 

EDIT: I suppose Arduino 22 is new Arduino SW, so just install it, load fw via 22 a clear memory. I will definitely try that. Thx.

This is a brief outline, above.  If setup correctly it always loads well.  Then use the Mission Planner to configure.

Code reloaded with Arduino 22, I got rid of "Missing RC rev Param" message :-) Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Radio Input tab = green bars / channels still do not react to TX (according to what I understand they should). This could be done via terminal if everything else fails so not a big deal (at least I hope so).

 

I tried RESET APM HARDWARE TO DEFAULT button with no success (is that suggested "clear all eeprom memory" of is it done via Arduino SW?)

 

Flight data screen shows GPS: NO GPS although it is connected - I will try to move outside to see if anything changes.

 

EDIT: GPS probably locked - solid Blue but no change in APM Planner

Was this a 2560 board or a 1280 board?

SOLVED !!!!

 

Shame shame shame on me :-(

 

For whatever reason (well for sure this happened because I was so eager to see my Arducopter in the air) I forgot to solder 2 pins (PG0 and PG1) to ArduPilot Mega board ...

 

Anyways, many thanks to everybody trying to help me and please forgive me :-D
