not trying to hijack the thread and if anyone wants to PM it would be great

hoopty, please just click on the link I provided. ArduCopter is both quad and traditional heli.

Thanks Chris!

I was just a little concerned because, whilst the oilpan comes with header pins, the ArduPilotMega board doesn't appear to come with either the the 3x8 right angle header pins, or the stackable headers to allow the oilpan to fit onto it.

I'm off to look at the cool components website again, but this time with my glasses on!

got it

Chris, Thanks for playing around with the dip switches and finding a combo that worked for you. As luck would have it, that combo also works for me. I was going to try every possible combination, but never got a chance to. Now that this problem is fixed, I have a new one, When I switch to stabilize mode my left elevon moves immediately to the maximum wing down deflection (elevon up), even though the plane is still level (in fact, has not been moved from the calibration attitude). If I pick up the plane and bank it 45 deg to the left, the autopilot removes the left elevon bias, and holding that bank angle I am able to verify that the control surfaces respond correctly to pitch and roll motion. Of course, when I roll the plane back to wings level the elevon bias reintroduces itself. I have rebooted several times, and the problem is repeatable. In manual mode the control surfaces are right where they should be. Any thoughts?

Hi all, I'm having a big problem now. Loading in the beta codes is compelete but i can't use my 6channels RC to switch between mode. I cant even use manual to control.

You will have to give us a lot more information so we can help.....

I think there is something wrong with my ArduPilot Mega Board.I change a spare one, and it works.
Is there a anyway to make my own ArdupilotMegaPlanner?

I think my OilPan has issues.
I finally got the beta code loaded and CLI tests are saying that my gyro/accel output is all over the place (between 2000 and 4000 and each axis without me moving the board), and that my airpressure raw output is 0. Also not getting any airspeed output.
Any clues why?
Did I just get I bad board?

BTW, what is the correct way to hook up the airspeed v2 expansion kit? Just the jst/white 6 pin cable into the OilPan’s I2C/white cable plug or using the 3 pins for just the standalone airspeed sensor?

Also, it has troubles getting into and out of CLI mode.
I flip the slider switch, and only with plugging the usb in and out can I get it to ocassionally go into CLI. And then with the slider switch in the normal position, I’ll get an light show from the a, b, and c LED’s once in a while, and then never again for quite some time. I’m quite confused.

The airspeed connection is shown in the manual.

The boards are tested before they're sent out, so I doubt that's the problem. More likely a soldering error. Are your RC inputs working as shown in the manual?
