Flying an APM1, Have had no problems in the past with it, but took it out for a wonderful spin this evening, and when I got back, switched over to CLI mode (torward the servos) and clicked on terminal in mission planner in order to d/l my log- it acted like it was in flight mode! I tried several times, switching the CLI switch forward, then entering terminal mode, and got the same thing, the song and dance you get when you watch a terminal of the board in flight mode. It was as if the CLI switch wasn't functioning at all or is just stuck in permanent flight mode, no matter what position the switch was in!
I checked the continuity and functionality of the switch with the power off and all is ok. Nothing appears broken. Any suggestions?

Hi Lucas,
We removed support for the CLI switch a couple of releases ago. The reason it was removed was that the APM2 and 2.5 doesn't have it, and we wanted consistency across all APM versions we support.
We also had some confusion with users who didn't know about the CLI switch and having it in the wrong position and wondering why they couldn't fly.
The way you enter CLI mode now is by hitting enter 3 times on startup.
Cheers, Tridge
