"hi Bryan
it sounds like your ESC is not initializing , try plugging one of the servos into the throttle channel to see if you have a servo signal and how it behaves , like Chris says check your solder joints , i have found it is easy to get a cold…"

"Hi Graham
yes , the FTDI board plugs into the 6 pins on the edge of the main board next to the GPS socket , and it uses a mini USB cable to plug into your computer
as i understand it , there is a site ( adafruit,com ) that sells an FTDI cable but…"

"Hi Amoisonic
does the MUX Control input turn the MUX LED on and off , if it does you probably need to just load the auto pilot software into the main chip through the FTDI pins that are located on the same edge as the GPS plug
as i understand it ,…"

i just wanted to report back that i sorted my board out , i hope this will help someone
this was the first ArduPilot board i ordered and at the time , people were still figuring out there was a problem with the tiny being flashed and the…"

"thanks Reto
i haven't used the STK-200 in a couple of years , and that was just for out of circuit programming , i didn't look into if it would do HV programming or not , because i wasn't sure you could HV in circuit , when i look at the schematic ,…"

"Hi another option , i added pins for outputs three and four , and then for bench testing , i am just plugging an RX pack ( 4.8 volt ) into output 4 , you do not need to have the jumper switched for this setup , you can see the pins i added in the…"
