1st real flight with APM 2.5 quadcopter, finally flying!

I was able to take it out this past weekend for a couple of flights finally after several months. My first few my copter kept flipping over at take off. I had a combination of a bad motor and a bad ESC. I ordered a new motor, still flipped over, then new ESC. I did notice prior to ordering a new ESC that if I spin the rotors for a brief moment and throttle back down, that one of the blades would stop before the other 3. All of the others seemed to stop at the same time except 1. Once I replaced…See More

UART0/2 Telemetry Port does not work

I am running the new APM2.5 board. I must say as a newbie, it took me some time to figure everything out, but I now have everything mostly working. I ordered a Telemetry cable that connects to my Xbee since it didn't ship with the APM2.5. I cannot get any communication with the Xbee to work. As soon as I disconnect that and connect directly to the UART 0, everything works great. I read that others have soldered the Automux, but still no success, so I didn't bother.Is there any issues in using…See More

"Were you able to get it working without a R/C? I have only a joystick and do not even own a radio either. I have the same problem as you."

I plugged in the the APM to USB and my computer. I followed the instructions on the wiki to…See More

hoquet replied to James masterman's discussion Changing UART0 on APM2.5
"Which ports/connectors did you guys use for the PDB as well as the XBee? There seems to be UART0/2 with the automux on the output side. There is also a UART 0 on the edge of the board.  "

"The front of the APM 2.0 is different from the APM 2.5. The APM2.5 has a white 5 wire connector while the APM2.0 has std pins. Here is the front of my board: I also read other posts by Vernon Barry that the UART0/2 does not work even after…"

"I would connect the Xbee to the UART0/2 that is in the top right of your image.  That matches the instructions where telemetry is hooked up. http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/APM2Wireless"
