The card in the apm2 is not an sd card, it just looks like one... I think it is called a flash card or something? it runs a different type of file system so not compatible with SD..

Thanks Dean!

Ok, that explains why I can't read it on a laptop. 

Still not sure why I can't read any logs or why the APM can't see the dataflash card at all. 

hm perhaps it is defective, or I didn't assemble the board well. The card reader is on the "upper deck", so maybe one of the risers is not well soldered. The GPS works, though.

Only had an Ardupilot for two days, so just starting to learn about all of it, but I am having problems with log files also, I can read the card but logs are only made everytime I plug into the laptop so not a flight log just what it was doing whilst plugged into the laptop, so not much use to me.. Also when I click download logs or test under the terminal tab in mission planner it prints off lots of random characters and symbals instead of readable info?

I´m running on 1.173

What did you do in order to be able to read your logfiles?
