I've searched around, and found a lot of discussions on the MTEK GPS and APM.
I've tried everything I know to try, and am at a dead end.
I have the MTEK with NO BATTERY. I successfully reflashed the unit by soldering pins onto it, and hoo

in order to load code into Ardupilot I have to perform the following steps:
- connect FTDI cable to computer

I'm using Arduimo V2 flat. I've downloaded the latest code (1.8.2) from the website and connected the board through the FTDI cable. I succesfully used this FTDI cable to load code onto the Ardupilot board. I double checked that the same board

Hi all,
I'm using Ardupilot together with the ArduPilot Shield V2. I've succesfully uploaded the Ardupilot Software to the Ardupilot. I've tested Ardupilot and it seems to work correctly, e.g., I did the RC input test. Next I put the shield onto the
