Updating ArduCopter Software thru APM? Doesn't see the latest version downloaded.

Posted by Michael Brown on August 30, 2012 at 3:46pm

I have downloaded the latest ArduCopter version 2.7.1 to my computer. When I run the APM Planner 1.0.66 and go to the Firmware tab to update the software into the quad by clicking on the ArduCopter Quad icon it asks me "Are you sure if you want to upload AC 2.0.40 Beta Quad?"

Of course, this is not the version that I want to install. How do I direct the loader to the latest version that I downloaded?

Thanks for any help with this

    LOL, does it ever end. Now it seems that the firmware is too big for a 1280 board. Is there a way around this until I can get a 2560 board. I see it comes with the 90 degree connector. Off hand how many of the male connectors will I need. It looks like 39 and the package listed comes with 36, imagine that. There is a 12 pin, 13 pin and 14 pin. I wonder does Radio Shack carry those?

    I wasn't aware that you could use MP offline to load code into APM ????

    Go here and get the latest download. There's a 32 bit and 64 bit version. After you have a newer version it will auto update to the latest version.

    Yikes. Where did you find APM planner 1.0.66? That's ancient. Please update to the latest Mission Planner (1.2.9)
