Problem programing APM

Posted by Miquel Canes Gonzalez on March 9, 2011 at 4:08pm

Hello!

 

I'm having some problems programming my new APM board.

 

After soldering the headers I tried to load the "dance demo" to the board. The upload works ok but the program doesn't work.

 

I tried this small program to verify that the board is working:

 

void setup(){  Serial.begin(57600);}
void loop(){      Serial.print("test");      delay(100);}

 

The upload works ok again but It doesn't print any output on the serial monitor.

 

I checked this program test on my arduino board and it works perfect.

 

The three leds on the board are on (red, yellow and blue) all the time.

 

What can I do to test the board?

 

Thank you!

    Hello again!

     

    After some more test, the APM is still not working.

     

    Uploading the code using the APM IMU usb I have the same behaviour. The tx/rx leds of the IMU flash quickly during the upload but after this I have no response from the board and again no output on the serial monitor.

     

    All the LEDs of the APM board are on all the time (without blinking) even when I push the reset button or the upload code is finished. I don't know if this is the normal behavior of the board but sounds as a problem.

     

    I don't know what can I do more to test the APM. Maybe this board has a manufacturing error?

     

    Thank you!
