Hi Everyone.  I finally have my homemade hexcopter built and I'm trying to load the firmware on my APM2

I've loaded the device drivers and when I plug the APM2 into my USB port, I get Arduino Mega 2560 (COM4) showing up under device drivers.  My A LED blue is solid (after awhile).  My C LED (red) flashes.  The B LED does nothing.  The mid blue LED (GPS if I remember correctly) is solid.  And there is a green power LED (solid) opposite the USB connector.

However, firmware fails to load.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  This board doesn't seem to be functional.

Hmmm.... Dave we just received a new APM2 and it appears we have a very similar problem as you did.  Did you ever get a response or solution?

Thanks,

Yes.  Sorry.  I had to send mine back for repair.  The first thing they will have to do though is to try to manually compile and load the firmware with a special version of arduino.  If that works, the board is probably okay.

Same problem. Turned out a component fell off. Looks like a common problem. Good luck
