"Same Issue for me too.
Only blue led will power on and stay solid.
To boot the APM2 I've to press the reset switch or power it by USB cable.
 
I've no xbee connected, only APM2 and 5V on output rail."

"Hi,
 
has anyone tested this one?

It is like a Xbee module but it cost only 69$ (or 70euro) and is 1W power.
 
BYE!"
