First APM learning curve questions.

Posted by Randy Ram on February 23, 2012 at 8:34am

Well, this is my first APM. So, today I start my little learning curve on how to set it up.

I am having problem loading(running) Mission Planner. I open the folder Mission Planner 1.1.40.

Then I see the green icon with the title "ArdupilotMegaPlanner. I click that, and a little dos window opens and then I see a screen with same green icon open up, but closes in a second or 2.

I have downloaded the usb drivers and the board shows on my device manager.

I downloaded .net 4 and ran that. Restarted it to see if that makes a difference. Nope, still the same.

Any suggestions?

ps- I am running Windows7 on a MacBook Pro i7 with Parallels.

    ok, Found out why it does not recognize the file. it shows as txt file when I donwloaded using Firefox.

    I redownloaded from MSexplorer now, and its shows as setup file.

    Well, been trying for 2 days. No go so far.

    Now, i have switched to a HP with Windows XP. I was able to get the Mission Planner running but it is failing to load the board driver. I see the .inf file that I downloaded. but when I try to install new driver and look into the folder, it does not see it.

    Now why is this?
