One more think to check. Do you guys all have the "Set RTS on close" box checked in the Windows com port control panel, as described in the manual?

Your screen shows pressure sensor initialization mine does not, also at the beginning of the string your screen shows "load_all took 2328us"  mine states 3940us. that is the only difference I see.

 

Also yes on the "RTS on close box checked."

Maybe you've got a bad pressure sensor? Also, I notice there's no GPS detection. I assume you don't have GPS connected--is that right?

GPS is connected with a solid blue light indicating it has a lock. I can view GPS raw data in CLI to confirm that it is in fact working and does in fact see satts.

 

Pressure sensor not working.........could be a possibility. I have had no reason up to this point to question it working or not working.

Please test the pressure sensor in the CLI

No values are being displayed in CLI when testing "airpressure"

 

I assume that is a no go on the pressure sensor?

'fraid so. Contact customer support from the store you bought it from if it's still covered by warrenty.

So is this reason for the non connect issue via USB? If so, why is connectivity not impacted when I load quad-copter code?

AC2 doesn't test the IMU until you arm the motors. I suspect that your board will fail the test then, too.

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate your time today.

Mine was previouslly, but I must have connected the usb cable on a different port and now it was not checked (since the COM changes with a diff USB), I checked it again and now it connect without the need to reboot. Excellent Chris, small details make all the difference here.

 

Thanks

Yeah i checked to make sure "set RTS on Close" is set and it is, i still get connection issues. Hitting the IMU reset button does help though, i can connect after doing so.
