Vernon commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Reloading the Arduino bootloader
"Hmm.  Dunno if I missed something when I was reading the information about loading the bootloader.  But apparently you CANNOT have the ftdi cable connected while burning the bootloader.  I removed the ftdi cable, connected vcc and gnd.  And now…"

Vernon commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Reloading the Arduino bootloader
"I'm talking about Ardupilot not Ardupilot Mega.  But my guess is that doesn't really matter.  I see the port for 1AT168 and the other one 1AT45.  I believe the 1AT168 is for the 368P and the 1AT45 is for the mux (ATiny).  Doesn't matter in that the…"

Vernon commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Reloading the Arduino bootloader
"Is the port on the Ardupilot an ISP port?  Can I burn the bootloader using a Parallel Programmer?  I totally hosed it by making the mistake and trying to load the sweep (example) sketch from the Arduino IDE.  I actually did the same to my…"

Did I perhaps corrupt my boot loader?  It was just fine the…"

Vernon replied to Scott Bingham's discussion Can someone provide a known good PID configurations for xplane?
"Ok.  Try try again.  I've got X-Plane v9.7 (DVD) Mission Planner version 1.0.62 and APM 2.23 HIL firmware loaded.  Clicked connect, APM Setup, reset APM to default, Radio Input -> Calibrate Radio -> save, Modes -> Save Modes.  
 
Yeah, same story.  …"

Vernon replied to Scott Bingham's discussion Can someone provide a known good PID configurations for xplane?
"Interesting...  I too have a similar issue/problem.  Although my setup is different.  I have Mission Planner and X-Plane running on the same machine (microsoft 7).  I CAN fly in manual mode.  It is VERY sensitive, although flyable.  When I change…"
