UndCon replied to UndCon's discussion ArdupilotMega 1.0 broken"I tested with a simple Y-cable (stockBixler) and it works just fine - will ahve to adjust the linkage a bit instead but it will be fine.
I hope I can do maiden tests with Arduplane this weekend."
UndCon replied to UndCon's discussion ArdupilotMega 1.0 broken"I got the new ArdupilotMega today and soldered on the headers.
Downloaded the latest code and configure according to quick guides and manuals for 2ailerons
At least now it is working...partially.

UndCon replied to UndCon's discussion ArdupilotMega 1.0 broken"Hello!
Thx for your answer.
I am not sure this unit is 100% - it can be damaged as I got it from a friend. I think I will order the latest version instead with the more powerful Atmel chip. Hopefully the oilpan is still OK - nothing indicates any…"
Vernon Barry replied to UndCon's discussion ArdupilotMega 1.0 broken"Ok, on APM 1.0 , there is a mux chip that ouputs channels 1-4, so you damaged that chip. It's surface mount on the red ardupilot board, so you can replace it, or just replace the whole $65 board. I wouldn't fly with a damaged chip, even if…"

The lower shelf (where you mount the electronics) has tabs but I do not feel they…"
