"Is the "language and country" set of your computer in english (usa)? If you're in Europe like me probably the problem is the dot instead of the comma in the lat/lon notation."

Hello, I use the APM 1.0.12 on Win7-64bit-Pro, I've problem loading waypoints from file, they're memorized in the right way but when I read them the coordinates are wrong. Probably the problem is the comma instead of the dot in the coordinate…

"Hello,

I installed APM 2.012 and after a reset I received this message: "EEPROM format version 2 not compatible with this firmware (requires 2)". Is it normal?

Thanks,

"Sorry, my last question was for Doug...

Frank, I don't think it's correct loitering if the last WP is "land". I tried (HIL) the last release and now it seems work correctly, it glides to the land point! I still have some problem to upload WP. I…"

"Frank,
 
   I had very good flights and landings with APM 1.x, now with 2.x, for example, in a 10 wp mission when the plane reach the wp #9 (wp #10 can be a land command or a normal wp) jumps directly to loiter on home.
I'll try to workaround the…"

"Chris, you're right, we have to test everytime the plane on the ground before the takeoff. I do this always but this afternoon when I tested "stabilize" I was focused to check the movement of the surfaces and not on the direction... :-("

"Doug, Andrew, today I had the same problem with my Futaba 10CH. I was at 30mt height, I switched to Auto and the plane (at full power) dived vertically! Wow... what a surprise! In a second I recovered it but there was a lot of adrenaline in the air…"

"Doug,

I'm using both HK and Q (57,6 Kbit).
Main problems I found in HK (HIL and regular flight):
- no attitude data
- read and write WP often fails
- in "control", "set mode" doesn't work

Thanks"

"Doug, when, from the GCS, I download missions (5/6 wp) or I try to upload new waypoints I have often timeout errors, I have to retry 2/3 times. So I can't understand if it is a CTS problem or a sw issue.

Thanks for your answer."
