"Glad you got it working! A bug is what went wrong :) One that has been located and squashed.
The driver signing issue is an issue, which will be solved soon since we should be able to use the same signed drivers that MissionPlanner uses."

"Alright so it's not properly detecting a single COM port. What happens if you type something in the com port box, then click the drop down and select COM15 again?"

Michael Carpenter commented on Bill Bonney's blog post APM Planner 2.0.13 released (was 2.0.12/11 released)
"I assume that COM15 shows up in the upper right hand corner, and it doesn't say "No devices" ? Go into the connection by clicking on the com port or baud rate, and re-select the com port (or change it and select it again), if that fixes it then I'll…"

"Simon Wunderlin: You're using the latest_debian installer?(http://firmware.diydrones.com/Tools/APMPlanner/apm_planner2_latest_...) It should not require anything that is not included in debian stable, if it is I will look into it fixing that."
