my pixhawk can not connect to the QGC(v2.2.0) or MP with px4 firmware.And the main LED is always breathing blue, I'm not sure what does that mean.
QGC can find the board and the bootload except the firmware .I reload the firmware as QGC's suggestion.

Just a question about the LIDAR from Pulsedlight3d - I got mine today, but the best rig for testing it is an APM, not a pixhawk. The LIDAR is i2C.
Can I run the I2C board (https://store.3drobotics.com/products/pixhawk-i2c-splitter) from the AP

I'm using ArduCopter 3.2 on APM 2.x HW. I used autotune to autotune my PIDs and first they looked good, so I saved them. After analyzing my logs, however, I see that I do not like the new PIDs after all and I would like to revert them to the o
