Can't load firmware on APM2

Hi Everyone.  I finally have my homemade hexcopter built and I'm trying to load the firmware on my APM2

I've loaded the device drivers and when I plug the APM2 into my USB port, I get Arduino Mega 2560 (COM4) showing up under device drivers.  My A LED blue is solid (after awhile).  My C LED (red) flashes.  The B LED does nothing.  The mid blue LED (GPS if I remember correctly) is solid.  And there is a green power LED (solid) opposite the USB connector.

However, firmware fails to load.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  This board doesn't seem to be functional.

  • Hmmm.... Dave we just received a new APM2 and it appears we have a very similar problem as you did.  Did you ever get a response or solution?

    Thanks,
