I tried uploading the newest version of code into my arducopter, but for some reason when I go to the serial monitor it just constantly sends:
Init

This continues to infinity.
It compiles fine, but I'm getting this suspicious error:

So, I've been using my arducopter for quite a while (manually). I really want to experiment with fully automated flights.
Is it all ready to go? Any thing I need to do before I go and have it auto take off, maintain altitude, and land? I don't wan

Everything works great, EXCEPT, after the first flight, just ONE esc got extremely hot, while the others were relatively cool. I then unplugged the battery, it cooled down, then I plugged the
I charged up my battery, then plugged it in to my PDB. I got the beeps from the ESCs and they kept beeping about every 2 seconds.
My APM is clearly on, but the lights are blinking more erratically than if plugged in via USB. Something is clearly wron

Finished it about an hour ago!
First thing I did:
1. Plugged in the battery - the APM did NOT turn on. No smokin
