"Hi Guys.
I've also got the same issue still with 2.9 release and have adjusted the center roll position the way Brian has mentioned.
If anyone knows if there is a real fix for this yet can you let us know.
Thanks."

Awsome news and some nice features. As Blake above mentioned. Are guys still able to use APM1280. I cant continue with the new code as it is to large for the APM1280. Which APM2.x would you recommend to stick with for the APM1280 guys. And…"

You are most welcome to ask about Xbee setup.
I using the XBP24-ZB firmware. One Xbee is programmed as a coordinator and the other is programmed as a router. The reason for programming the second one as a router is that you can set the…"
John replied to Nigel's discussion XBee Pro 2 Now Working (after a lot of experimentation)"Hi Bjorn
I am using the XBP24-ZB firmware.
I'm not 100% sure but i think you need to setup the zigbee addressing as this is for multiple Xbee devices on one network. (SE, DE, SI VALUES) also from what I have read is that you also…"

Here are some pics of what I have done to fit my APM to the Radian Pro.
I made the shield out of thin cardboard which i cut to shape so it would fit nice and snug in the Radian's nose. I tried to keep the shield as close to the motor…"

Im just going to have one or two flights with the APM2.2 code and then Im going to whip the apm out and pop it into my heli. Your video is looking promising."

Sound good. I also have a JR Voyager 260 GSR that I want to put an APM on. I battled quite a bit to get it to even work like a normal heli. I was trying Arducopter NG and Ardu priates. There was just too much fiddling and codes…"

- Make sure:
--You've soldered the two jumper wires on the bottom of the board for the throttle.
--The Throttle channel is connected
--You've got pin D13 on the AP board
--You got the uBlox preprogammed for ArduPilot from the DIY Drones store (you had to select that option) or programmed it yourself with the instructions in the manual.
All this is in the manual, but just double checking...

hello chris,
yes i know
- two cables soldered
- throttle channel is connected.manually fly, stabillize fly, FLY-BY-WIRE works fine
- i cut pin D13 between ardu and shield
- ublox ist programmed by myself.with config-file from jordy.
in my first installation with code 2.4 i get the sat fix 100%.with the same gps-unit and cable...
must i close the "bind pins" or must leave open at starup ?

No need for bind plug if you've got the throttle connected. But try it anyway. If it works, it means you didn't connect the throttle properly.
Are you using the stock config file?
It works for everyone else, so this must be a hardware/config error...
