    The APM does not come with any firmware loaded. Read and study the wiki. You'll need a USB cable and a copy of the mission planner. Read the wiki it explains all, then come back with questions.

    Always stick to the latest officially released firmware in the download section and resd the WiKi very well.

    Go to youtube and see instructional videos that can help you save a lot of time. Just search under 'APM2.5'
