"I certainly dont want to sound unappreciative for the support ive received so far. However, ever since v3.3.0 was released my pixhawk has been rendered useless.

Im using the Mac OS APM 2.0 and couldnt accel calibrate. It looks like that issue has…"

"@Tridge,

Thanks for looking into this for me.  Is it possible to revert to the previous firmware using APMPlanner 2.0?
I don' know how long these issues normally take to be corrected, but I've been a Mac and OS X user for years, so I don't even own…"

Thanks,

Adam.

"Hey guys,

Thanks for the feedback.
The SD card is there, I was setting everything up fine prior to the upgrade.  I did find a discussion where the same thing was happening on a previous update.

"Hello,

Unfortunately, after upgrading to v3.3.0 I continue to have problems setting up my pixhawk.

I was in the process of setting up the pixhawk when the update was released, and I upgraded to v3.3.0.

Ever since then, when I power up the pixhawk…"

Hello everyone,I have been trying to decide which OSD to use with Pixhawk.  As there are a lot of options on the market it would make sense to use the same manufacturer for the APM/Flight Controller and other components, like an OSD.However, after…
