Hey there everyone. Here's my dilemma.
I just assembled my APM and connected up my UBLOX to do a little "bench testing" to ensure my soldering skills are ok and check that the boards are working correctly.
I started off by uploading the new APM 2.0 to

I'm still trying to get my quad in the air. It previously had a fault with the XY gyro. The Oilpan was sent back to Diydrones for a fix. They replaced the XY Gyro, but this also affected the pressure sensor, so this was changed also.
