I just soldered my APM up that I got from DIY Drones (Thing has been kicking around for many months).
I am getting an error message
"Cant detect your APM version. Please check your cabling"
FTDI drivers installed properly and on the correct comm port, I have deleted and it re-installs the drivers no problem. Using Windows 7 fully updated. Just can't get the Mission Planner (APMPlanner1.1.63-32.msi) to load the firmware into the APM. I am going to go over all of the solder joints with the iron just to make sure, they look fine however.

    Try a different USB cable and, if possible, another PC. If that doesn't do it, you've probably made a soldering error.
