Dan, you don't need telemetry for tlogs.  Just plug in the USB, and go to mission planner, and download them.

I'm on mission planner, on Terminal tab clicking n Download Logs, and there are no logs..

I need to enable them before flying or something?

Or should i just try flying again and try downloading again ?

I went to the Troubleshooting on the wiki and went through all the tests, one of my motors on the motoros test was spining in the wrong direction.

I fixed the direction, and tried to takeoff again.. looks a little bit better but still flips...

Video after fixing direction:

In step 4. i didn't find the "hand test" that they are talking about.

Step 8. Did you setup and test your radio? Run test/radio to see. Pitch, Roll, Throttle and Yaw should all be 0 or near zero (60 or less). Move the pitch and roll stick to the lower right, you should see approximately 4500, 4500 in Channels 1 and 2.

i get:

IN 1: 0     2: 0    3: 500     4: 500   5: 500   6: 500    7: 500

And when i move the Pitch and Roll to lower right i get 1: -4500, 2: -4500

When i'm trying to run tests from CLI i get Sorry, Not 1280 compat.

After flying again still cant find logs...

Any ideas?

Dan,

When doing the motor test i think the motors should spin 1 then 4 then 2 then 3. it should be in a clockwise direction around the frame with the long pause at the front (it doesnt always start at the front, but the pause will be)

looks to me like the back two motor signal wires are swapped around. they all look like they are spinning the right way.

Hey Chris,

I think they all go in the right direction, try playing the video on 720p Full Screen, you'll see arrows that i draw with a pencil, they mark the rotation and the front of the copter.

I can see your motors spin the right direction ie: turn the props in the correct direction to generate lift.

See in this motor test each motor is tested in a clockwise direction around the quad. yours has the back 2 motors in the wrong order. For a quad the front right should be first after the long pause, then the rear right, rear left then front left.

should be an easy fix, just swap the two signal wires on the APM.

you need to look at this page on the Arducopter Wiki

Try to move your receiver. The antennas are to close to the ESC.

Everything double checked.

Still in motor test just 2 motors spins. Got some takeoffs, but I want it to take of more stable.

Any ideas?
