When I try to connect using mission planner versions 1.1.51 & 1.1.52 I get a "No Heartbeat Packets Received" box after the time out.
I don't have this problem with 1.1.50, have I missed something.
I am using Windows Xp if that makes a difference.

I just received my APM 2.5 and 3DR radio and I'm having the same error...In MP 1.2.5 mav 1.0, in "Configuration/3DR radio", I can "load the settings" and I get data for the "Local" and the "Remote" but can not connect. I'm selecting the right port and rate. What am I missing...

I am still trying to use the latest version of Mission planner (now 1.2.1 Mav 1.0) with my 1.4 board as the 1.50 version is a bit less polished. Here's what happened
Setup
- Mission planner 1.2.1 Mav 1.0 (from July 29)
- I have the SM2 slider set away from the pins (toward position 1).
- I am connected through USB connection on comouter to mini USB on board
- I am running Windows7 (64 bits). The radio and PDB are not connected to the APM board. The GPS is connected.
- connected at 115200 baud and com3
1) I can go to firmware, and upload Arducopter V2.7 Quad (I have a quadcopter). This works fine
2) when I go to Terminal, it shows in the top right corner that there is a connection (connectors connected, and "disconnect" under this). In the terminal window it then shows
0pened com port
Init Arducopter V2.7
Free RAM: 1501
FW Ver: 118
----------------------------
load_all took 524 us
3) whatever I type in this terminal window, I get no response
4) if (in this window) I disconnect, and then connect again, I get the connection timeout message (no heartbeat)
5) If I go to Configuration -> Planner and toggle "Reset APM on USB connect" this does not make any difference (I tried with and without this on
-----------------------------------------------------------
I'm really stuck here & any tips will be appreciated
Thanks

in my case what worked is unbricking the xbees
I've successessfully used a FTDI cable[1] to install Simulation Quad HIL to APM 1.4. But when I try to connect, I'm also getting "No Heartbeat Packet Received".
Now when I use a IMU + mini USB cable to connect to the same APM 1.4 it works fine.
Would this be a result of a bad FTDI cable? I'm puzzled since same FTDI cable installs firmware without an issue.
Thanks,
Ruwan.

We have a 1.4 board, and have the same issue with mission planner 1.92 not working (ie not connecting and giving a No Heartbeat Packets received after the connection timeout). I downloaded and used mission planner 1.50, and this seems to be doing fine (but I just barely got this going). I am wondering if there are any patches/solutions which I can use so I can use 1.92 and future upgrades
Thanks in advance - my son and I really appreciate the mission planner code and all the work put in to this

Tom, the MP is now at 1.1.58. It should be updating automatically when you load. Is that not working?
hello,
this is happening to me as well, if i restore back to version 1.1.50 it works fine any version after that i cannot connect.
