Hey all, well its been a frustrating time here with the newly purchased pixhack. I purchase a genuine CUAV unit and was told I could run APM/PX4 stack with out any issues, but I simply cannot do it.
I have done pritty much everything I could think off to run it in mission planner with updating to latest firmware first, then older firmware, still same issue.
The problem I have is below;
1. boot up via usb GPS plugged in, safety switch plugged in, external LED plugged in.
2. Pixhack begins for a few seconds then, little LED flashing red/blue along with white light solid...
3. this is where it stops... nothing more.
NOW, while I CAN update the firmware to the latest firmware (heli) in this instance, it never initializes from what I can tell. I have looked at the logs and it states a repeating error: Initialising APM, then Error: check BRD_TYPE: no lsm303d found???????????
As far as I am aware, the lsm303d my pixhack HAS a lsm303d acc/mag????
have I bricked this thing?????
As mentioned NOTHING that I do solves this issue. I have reset the unit via holding down safety switch, reseting via little side buttons and power on. I have googled the hell out of it and nothing is working...
so....before I pack it away and buy something else...can anything be done here you think?ANY assistance would be great!

I tried the change the brd type as well as mentioned but nothing works.. Would luv a resolution if possible!
Yesterday I had the same problem and the same errors but with 3DR Pixhawk Mini. I tried to set BRD_TYPE manualy but then it shows other error msg, something about other sensor, I don't remember. Now I have firmware from QGroundControl and it works fine but not with MissionPlanner that I'm used to.
Anyone knows when MissionPlanner will handle it?
You probably have a failed sensor (the lsm303d). With current master you could still use the board like this:
what that will do is force it to identify as a pixhawk. It will then fail to start the lsm303d sensor driver, but you would still be able to use the board with one IMU (the MPU6000).
