I have a problem with APM 2560, I can not use the fly modes with the new version 2.1-2.2 which works very well with the older version 2.0.49.

I have 3 APM1 2560 boards mounted on an octo, hexa and quad. Version 2.0.49 works fine on my HEXA, except octo I do not know why.

Lately, I buy a 3rd card in UK drone to mount a quad, to perform the tests with the new version 2.2, that way, if there is a crash, it's less expensive to repair. But this card works differently compared to other APM 1. The blue LED blinks quickly when there is no radio signal and slowly when is connected, instead of being fixed without signal and blinking when the radio is connected.I wrote to UK drone but no reply from them. May be, I have another version PPM installed ?

My current problem is that with all the new revisions (2.1 -2.2), I can't change Fly modes, except Stabilize and altitude hold, the other modes don't work. Using version 2.0.49 it works fine, I don't think it comes from my radio.

Can someone help me to find a solution. Thank a lot.
