One problem after another!
I received an error in downloading firmware. Found out that I needed to update misson planner, which I did. Was then able to download firmware.
Now with the updated mission planner I'am unable to communicate with the ardupilot mega. So I tied the older mission planner software, which before was always able to communicate with the board. Now it tells me that I haven't yet downloaded the firmware. What a mess!! I'am about the throw the ardupilot-mega into the trash. Yes I checked the com port, baun rate, flight pin, power to the controller and receiver. The only thing I can think of is that there is a confict in versions. My ardupilot-mega is version 1.4
If anyone has a solution it would be welcomed. Thanks

Adam, I was only able to load firmware with the latest mission planner version 1.1.41 It was after I loaded the firmware that the mission planner was unable to locate the board. The message I received was that there was "no heatbeat packets received" This is very frustrating the say the least. I'm connected via USB. I was tempted to download the 1.1.8 version as someone reported it as working, but it is now an older version. Steps to to connect was to attach battery to board then attach USB cable. Any ideas will be welcomed.
Bob: What I would recommend is using the latest mission planner to load the latest firmware no matter what. Are you trying to communicate via wireless telemetry or USB? What steps are you taking to connect to the board?
