  Autotune works in altitude hold and you must have the throttle in center position and sticks too..
  Control your radio calibration.

Yes the mini APM Pro it was labelled as being made by pix something, I maybe read wrong. But I have it working now cheers for that I had the compass one pin over but it didn't damage it. I just bought another one, they're really good.

So I tried out This new little FC & it really looks great, nice build, quality materials. I have it on my new F450 frame. Everything has gone smooth with the firmware and the plugs are awesome I hate the DF13 or whatever they're called, those awkward little white DF plugs, they break easily and are painful if not impossible to fix especially with so many different GPS compass modules having random wiring colours and different configurations.
Anyway...

Problem;
my "APM Pro mini Pix " won't recognise my compass. Does anyone else have a photo they can share with the proper way to connect the Compass? I'm thinking I may have had it one pin to far to the middle instead of right on the edge and maybe burnt out the compass. Any help would be great! Maybe I've already done damage by having it in the middle pins I think it's meant to be yellow far right middle above GPS with the green next to it horizontally. I had it one pin in to the left. Either way it's not being recognised. Error 99 on calibration with no movement of the live calibration.

  Strange thing as if I remember well if you put a ubec on output it will power the board...
  Be aware that its power module output only 5v not 5.2 and sometime I had power warnings in my dataflash logs...
  Too low power vcc it could brown out

  Hi paul thank you for bringing this up. So aru you using PM with ubec to power apm pro and sepreate esc with ubec to power up the servos. If so how many esc with ubec are you using to power up you servos which i belive you have tricopter cheers

Thankyou very much helped me a lot.
I will be using 2 axis brushless gimal on my quad and will be powering with 5v bec since i will be using 4s battery on my quad.
On last post you said i just need to use either power moudule or esc with bec does it mean that i dont need to use power module and can power up my apm only using esc cheers

Thank you for the quick reply scott. I am bit confused where does the gimbal wire go to apm still. Could you help me with this. And hows your apm performance regarding gps hold, loiter and mission cheers

2 is it safe to use both power module and esc with bec togeather?

Anyhelp would be appriciated thankyou

I like this board connectors, easy to find and looks more safe than the Pixhawk ones but this one is 8 bits.

Scott Meese looks like you already figured it out but here is a nice diagram on the wiring, shows the compass and the compus IC socket. Below that is the pin outs
