Hi,
I have now more or less finished my ArduCopter and am starting to configure the APM. I have downloaded and installed the software. Right now I am trying to connect to APM in order to perform the described tests here: http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/CLI
I have:
- Installed drivers and configured the com-port as described, (Windows XP)
- In arduino; selected the AtMega 1280 board, selected the correct com port and selected baudrate and carriage return as described.
- restarted the laptop and APM a few times
I do however not receive any responce from the APM when I type commands in the serial monitor, (except for a brief flash on a orange led).
Any ideas?

Now, after some struggeling with signing of drivers etc, I have installed new USB/FTDI-drivers and uploaded new firmware to the autopilot. CLI works fine, but I am unable to connect to the ap with the configurarator software. When it tryes to connect, the led's on the ap blinks like mad, but no connection.
The com port is set in accordance with the manual, laptop is re-booted, but still nothing.
did you move the switch (SW2) to the back?
do the status LEDs run slowly?
