How to upgrade firmware?

Posted by Elvis on January 10, 2013 at 5:26pm

If I want to try the latest firmware - 2.9 rc2, how do I upgrade? I don't see an option for it on the "Update Firmware" tab in MP. I also tried Arduino; downloaded 2.9, compiled and uploaded it to my APM2.5  but it still shows as 2.8.1.

Can somebody help me out?

    Sorry but I've didn't find a better subject to ask something regarding firmware and Arduino.

    It is clear that without Internet connection (for example on the airfield) we cannot upload firmware on the APM using the MP. In this case the only remaining solution is to compile the code and upload it using Arduino. After uploading, every important parameters as frame type (x, +), leveling and calibrating could be done using the MP but, could somebody explain how I can define if quad, hexa or octo frame I have?

    Thanks in advance!

    You will need to download the code and compile your own hex file to upload. It was discussed here recently http://diydrones.com/group/arducopterusergroup/forum/topics/beta-up...
