Failed Connection

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
