"I got sidetracked! I pulled a board out of one of my planes and put in in my hex copter with 2 axis camera gimbal. Everything went smooth and it's ready to fly as soon as the wind calms down. Sometimes you have to prioritize the fun…"

"It should work without the reset button. Did you loose the pads on the board? If so that's bad :( Sorry to hear that. You need the pads to make the connection manually to reset the board. However if you look at the Eagle file you might be able…"

I pulled the reset button apart (just the top part was crushed) and the board continued to fly really well.I tried to update to 2.7.2 yesterday. I used CLI to erase, and then did a reset.
