I have a ArduPilot Mega 1 (red, with oilpan "shield") that after the latest firmware update (Arducopter 2.6) doesn't seem to communicate via Mavlink anymore.
Symptoms so far:
- Firmware upload works.
- Console mode in MP works fine. Passes all tests.
- Other modes than Console in MP does not work over USB.
- Nothing works over xbee.
- MinimOSD says waiting for mavlink data.
- It still fly's !
- EEPROM reset and factory reset using Console doesn't help.
- ArduPlane 2.4 has the same symptoms.
- Current version or older version of MP has the same behavior.
I have to admit, the last flight before the firmware upgrade was a heavy crash, so pretty much my question is if this makes sense for a hardware issue (firmware upload possible but no mavlink ??) or is has this to be software ?
