"Hmm. I've never seen that dot.Net error dialog before. Makes me think you've got a corrupt MP installation. Also, needless to say you shouldn't be trying to connect to MAVLink while you're in the terminal window, since that…"

"Is this an APM 1? If so, it looks like you've got the slider switch in the wrong position. It looks like you've got in CLI mode (back). It should be in flight mode (forward). "

"Oky,"
David Crater replied to David Crater's discussion MissionPlanner32-1.2.msi Won't Install"Chris,
Yes, uploaded ArduPlane from the MP screen to the APM2. It appeared to complete successfully, lots of activity on the Rx/Tx indicators, and the upload progress bars for uploading, verifying, etc. all scrolled through."

"David, have you loaded firmware (ArduCopter/Plane) on the board by clicking on the appropriate icon on the firmware tab? It won't connect via MAVLink until you do. "
Jake Stew replied to David Crater's discussion MissionPlanner32-1.2.msi Won't Install"You might try using a terminal program like putty to verify that you're getting serial data.
In device manager I always turn the com ports up to the max speed. I don't think it matters though, as whatever program you're using…"
David Crater replied to David Crater's discussion MissionPlanner32-1.2.msi Won't Install"Chris,
I have both APM1 and APM2. APM1 broke when I crashed (silly piloting error) and I was not able to fix it so I bought APM2. My current problems are with APM2.
(I'd like to repair the APM1, if anybody would try. But if it cost more than…"

"David: are you using APM 1 or APM 2? APM 1 needs an FTDI driver (this is loaded automatically in Win 7 but not XP). APM 2 uses the Atmega32U2 driver that you tried before."
