I have the signal and ground wire from 5 of my esc's plugged into the APM2, and the signal, +5v and ground wires connected from motor #1 to the APM2.So only 1 esc is powering the APM2 when the…Continue

"I'm seeing this as well using a Neo-6m gps module. Not sure what it means. Maybe someone else has a clue."

"Hooks: I'd recommend something open source, there are tons of open source designs and kits available. The problem with the Cube is you cant specify any print settings: can't ask for finer layers, different types of infill, speed changes…"

"I played around a little more and did get the speed to go up to what looks like normal speed. Got arducopter code loaded up using the AVRISP MKII and AVR Studio. LEDs A and C alternate at the speed they used to when the board worked. I then fired…"

"I tried loading the blink program compile to hex, it runs but runs about 2x slower than it should. I set pin 25 to blink every second for 1 second and instead it would bink every 2 seconds for 2 seconds. I then tried the latest arducopter program…"

"Can you post some instructions on how you got it to work? I have the same problem and have tried lots of methods and still cant upload code to the APM2. I have both an AVRISPMKII and a USBASP programmer."

"Thanks david! I manually set the throttle range on the ESC's and after that they stopped beeping. I'm now happily flying my hexacopter with APM2."

"It's not gibberish, it's binary MAVLink. That's normal. "

"I also get gibberish in the terminal but once I hit "Enter" 3 times, the gibberish goes away. I'll try resetting the throttle range on my ESC's and see if that helps."

"I'm experiencing the same problem, and have calibrated the ESCs both manually and automatically, and still nothing. I believe I have a problem w/ the APM though, as it's returning gibberish in the terminal."

"You need to program the escs with the range of your throttle. Do this: plug one of the escs into the throttle channel on the receiver(taking apm out of the loop), power on TX and put throttle at full, next you will power on just that one esc and it…"

APM2 - Motors keep beeping when I plug in the battery

I have the signal and ground wire from 5 of my esc's plugged into the APM2, and the signal, +5v and ground wires connected from motor #1 to the APM2.So only 1 esc is powering the APM2 when the battery is plugged in.When I plug the battery in, The lights on the APM2 turn on and some start flashing, and the motors start beeping but they never stop beeping.Even if the USB cable is plugged into the APM2, I still get beeping motors.And because of this, I can't calibrate or test my motors.I'm using…See More

"HAH! didn't expect to see it here. Glad you liked it Chris. Can't wait for my APM 2.0 to arrive so I can get that on the hexacopter."
