Is there anyone out there that is willing to help me with the problems I am having over the phone. It is easier for me to explain what the copter is doing over the phone, also helps walk me through this.  Or even skype. I see there is a ton of you on here that have perfectly working copters or working good.. So I am pleading , for someone to take the time and help me get this thing alt holding . I have been able to get both my copters to fly, and alt hold with sonar, but not baro. I have tried to post a screen shot but I am not sure if it was the right screen shot. I have arond 15 hours to get these up and going with the baro.

If things worked with 2.0.46, and you have little time, I agree that you should go back to that version. If Arduino does not compile the code without errors, it's probably because it uses wrong libraries. Easy fix:

Download Arduino and unzip to a new folder: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Download AC 2.0.46 http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/downloads/list

Unzip AC 2.0.46, put the files in a new folder on your desktop, keep it separated from the Arduino folder!

In the folder you placed on the desktop, browse to ArduCopter2.0.46/ArduCopter/. Right click the arducopter.pde file and choose to open with --> Arduino.exe.

Compile and upload to your board.

Connect with missionplanner, reset board and setup everything.

Sorry, I'm at work, too busy. And I'm no kind of expert on this..

If you want you could bring up a remote session so I can take a look. But don't promise anything.

well after finally getting 2.0.46 back on still had problems with both quads. so I oped for the newest version one more time, and I changed a few things around ant started with no sonar. and for some reason it worked. and when I added the sonar. I had to lower my PI for the alt hold to get it to work pretty good above 10 feet. now the weird thing I did the same for my second copter, and added the sonar. and didn't have to make much adjustments. and it is working almost perfect. so I don't know what I did but both copter are working good now. I want to thak all who helped, and sorry for my many posts. alll in all I am really happy with the arducopter it is now one of my favorites.
