Hi,
I last programmed my APM using the Adruino IDE around October 2010 on my old Windows XP machine. I now have changed my PC to Win 7 and decided to pick up my UAV project again.
With my LiPo and ESC's disconnected I have my USB cable plugged into the APM and the power light is lit. Win 7 recognises the COM port. I have set the RTS line in properties. I run MP and under the Firmware tab I click on the Quad graphic to try to upload the latest firmware but I get a time-out followed by a pop-up window saying that my APM could not be detected and that I should check my cabling.
I noticed that a terminal looking window also pops up with the MP and this shows:
not a 2560
btr 0
(btr 0 is repeated many times followed by)
not a 1280.
During this period the RX LED on the board (Orange LED) flash with each line.
Any Ideas?
Thanks.
Tom
