"Any ideas on the payload weight this thing could carry?"

"I will let you know as soon as I know something.  I am going to be ordering header pins to try replacing the Sparkfun board only soon.  Once I have that soldered I will try and reload the code.  Hopefully its only one bad board and…"

"Your problem is quite simlar to mine... If you have solve the problem, can kindly tell me what is the causes?? Is it the APM fried? Thanks"

"Ok I loaded the new RC2 code and I seem to be getting somewhere.  I loaded the code and then switched SW2 to the flight mode position.   The ABC lights are now doing a slow, constant walk.  I never get a solid green light.  In…"

"Don't use RC1 (it's ancient). Use the latest code, RC2. http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/downloads/detail?name=ArduCopter%20RC2.zip&can=2&q="

"I am seeing the ABC lights all blink very quickly at the same time for a few seconds.  Then the Rx and Tx Lights blink a few time.  This is followed by the ABC lights doing the exact same thing they did first, and blinking very quickly and…"

"John, hmm what you mean by fast blinking??? All ABC led's are blinking or how and also what software you are actually using, from where?   Normal boot sequences for ArducopterNG are: Flying mode (SW2 close to DIP switches): - Rapid ABC…"

"I am going to replace the board as soon as money permits.  Will probablly be around the end of Jan.  Thanks for all the help guys.  I am pretty sure that when connecting the lipos when I was done calibrating the ESCs that I fried the…"

"I have the board completely off the frame at the moment. Nothing is connected."

"Motors are armed to bottom right, if you arm them in B-L it means that your YAW channel is reversed"

"Is the board powered from the LiPo/ESC when you're loading code? If the ESCs are connected, it should be."

"I checked all my solder joints and also tried to reload the code from home.  The APM will still not boot properly.  When I load the code, everything goes well, and it tells me "Upload Done" at the end.  Then the board…"

""Or is the board using EPROM memory and each time you upload to it, it erases whatever was there before?" in fact it uses a flash memory but yes, it removes everything which was on there before   check cour solder connections between…"

"Definitely stay under 10mph."
