Hi,I just bought an ArduCopter Kit a few weeks ago and finally assembled it. Now I have some issues communicating with the board via the APM Planner. Here is a bit of history of my problem:1. I was…Continue

I'm in france actually, Thanks a lot for your advises. Is there a way to communicate with my board again
with an AVRISP mk2 or directly connect to the Micro Controller and overpass the defected chips ?
If I…"

don't garbage it yet, there is a couple of things to try first, but you do need an AVR programmer. check this link out:

Shekou replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group"I ve contacted the support my order is older than 30 days they can't help ..... 30 days like the time you have to go to the bank to retract.

estebanflyer replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group"People had problems with the shield connection of the USB rather than the small pins. I had to buy a new one... I got a deal for 55 dollars at a shop I found near my house that sells all kind of Arduino boards. I tried with a programmer called…"
Theo Ansun replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group"Thanks Estebanflyer,
It "seems" that my USB connector is OK, but anyway I don't have a micro soldering iron.
For the other people, what was the real issue ? the 5 micro pins of the behind the USB connector ?
Also,…"
estebanflyer replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group"Your board reaction looks similar to the reaction of my old board. I tried everything on mine, I even bought a programmer in order to re-load the bootloader, but nothing worked.
Lots of people solved similar problems to yours by re-soldering the USB…"
Theo Ansun replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group"Hello,
I've the same weird problem,
and in addition, I can't do a physical Reset on my board IMU (nothing happen even if I do a reset on the red Board APM with a tiny wooden stick).
So, I've tried 2 things maybe that can…"

"esteban: did you contact customer support for a RMA?"
3D RoboticsChris Anderson replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group
"Yes, that's a good idea. Next version of the board uses a through-hole USB connector, which should be bulletproof."
estebanflyer replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group"my connector is fine........ do i have 2 bad cables that got ruined at the exact same moment? probabilities are low."
agmatthews replied to Horia's discussion USB Communication Issue in the group ArduCopter User Group"If you are confident enough you can use a standard small soldering iron to heat up the USB connector pins to reflow the solder below them. While you are at it resolder the USB hold down tabs. I did both of these and solved my USB…"

Hey Horia, I was wondering if you were in Toronto these days, I'm trying really hard to make my quad fly with no success, everything works perfectly: GPS lock, xbee, radio modes, battery cells measurement, ESC calibration, compass, sonar.... I'm stuck at PID's, the copter takes off in a very sluggish way, no matter how I tweak the PID's I always end in a crash, so I thought I might as well pay someone for their time and save money on propellers. (Also save time in balancing them)
Please let me know if you are available. I am at Dufferin and Bloor, but if you want I can take all my gear to you. My phone number is 905 616 8482 (not long distance; Mississauga). As I said, I'm willing to pay for your time. All I want is to have the quad flying.
Please help me out!
