I have just bought an APM2.0 that is not assembled.
I can't find any instructions about assembling it.
I am now wondering whether I need to solder the GPS to the support pins that are labelled 5v Gnd or whether it picks up the 5v and Gnd via the multip

The video shows a quadrocopter with some coils around the outsides of the motor arms flying over an array of coils, inducing a current on the stationary coil to power a small LED light.

I received my APM2 on Friday and I am having an issue with it. Since this board was bought for a new build rather than an existing copter, I have no way of testing it apart from using Mission Planner connected via USB.
