Works EVERY time now IF......Ya got to hold yer jaw right !!0. OOPS fergot this step....unhook GPS !1. Pin 6 of FTDI on board bent out of the way.2. Put finger ON reset button.3. Point head north!4. Do a read OR write operation and just before the read/write progress bar is all the way to the right, push and release reset button.5. read or write success !Works EVERY time now.This is with Sparkfun's FTDI board. Either 3.3 or 5v model !Earl(Ya can SKIP step 3)PS Toys,toys from the Expo !! And my new Parallax o'scope.
Is there or will there ever be a solution to this problem?
The the only way I can get the Config Tool to work is by using the steps outlined above, but minus the bending of the pin (and pointing my head north :-) - i.e. pressing the reset button when the progress meter gets to 100% otherwise it will not work!
I'm using AP 2.1.2., the Sparkfun 3.3v FTDI board, driver version 2.04.16, no shield, no z-sensor (can't buy it alone anywhere!!!) and the latest Config tool (ArduPilotConfigTool_Fix1.zip dated 7 July).
