APM 2.6 woes

Posted by Graham Collie on August 13, 2014 at 3:00am

Hi All,

I just received a new APM 2.6 and just about complete setting it up, however when I go to plug in the Power module I find that the Power module is a 6 pin and the PM port has only 5. I have looked around and this does not seem to appear on my other APM or any other image of the board I can find.

Have I been duped by the seller :(

Cheers

Graham

Probably a mistake in manufacturing. There is probably an easy work around. Please post close up photos so we can see which pin is missing.

  Thanks for the quick reply mate. It does not appear to be a missing 'pin' but rather they have mixed up in making it. It looks as if they have put a Telem port there instead. The telem I have fits in both.
  
  I have contacted the seller and they have stated that this board is the same as the others they produce, however they also provided me with a 6 pin PM and state they dont make a 5 pin.
  
  I will post some close ups when I get home tonight. Might just need to unsolder and resolder pins there myself.
  
  Will wait for feedback before embarking on this however.

    I meant missing a pin when comparing the bottom of the board. Please post photos of both sides of the board.
