"Hi Nils,
Not much help on this forum. I'm new to APM & had issue getting GPS to function. I have it working now with lots of Googling & stuff I found here plus RC Groups.

"I'm no expert but this line from log would explain it PARM, FS_BATT_VOLTAGE, 10.50000.
Why would you start Autotune with an almost flat battery? If it was fully charged then it is defective under load."

"OK a bit more research reveals that the MPU 6000 has SPI bus & MPU6050 has 12C bus. I guess this is why the APM firmware won't run."
The APM 2.6 board & Crius AIOP V2 have identical ATMega 2560-16 microcontroller & same MS5611 Baro chip.The Crius board has onboard HMC5883 Mag but this can be easily disabled by cutting jumper the same as APM2.6. The only difference I can see is…
