Dane replied to luis gonzalez's discussion Quadcopter with apm 2.5 keeps on flipping over, help please?
"you should not be working with any other modes besides the default stabilize until you get it up in the air and flying manually. Then introduce each flight mode and test each one."

Dane replied to Xichen Shi's discussion Possible APM burnt out. uart0 not responding, no power through output rail
"Same issue here. I can get power from the USB, as well as the input rail, but when powered from the output rail. The green light glows faint. None of the diodes or anything looks burned and I have never seen smoke or shorted out the APM. Zero…"
