Eduardo Romero replied to Greg Friesmuth's discussion APM 2.5 Not connecting in APM Planner" Looking at all these post it looks like quality control missed a few.... more like a dozen. Im experiencing the same thing, looks like the gyros out of the box where malfunctioning. "
MHefny replied to Greg Friesmuth's discussion APM 2.5 Not connecting in APM Planner"I contacted 3D Robotics...They reply and send me RMA# ... but still waiting for a FEDEX Label ....
They said they will test it... it will be changed if it is bad and no clues that repairing attempts happen. "
