2.6 is not on the site yet. I have a few aircraft to build for a customer and I would like to use the latest and greatest. Plus I think it will save me some head ache on 3.0 firmware. Updates on this release would be great.
I bought a new laptop computer with windows 8 and still not able the load the drivers on the TWO 2.6 APM's I have. As you suggested I got and RMA to return the APM. Not sure where to go from here. I would like to get an APM that works. But I do not wont to go through all of the trouble I have had over the past two months.
Guys I need your help, APM 2.5 is new for me it´s my first time. When I connect my usb cable to my bixler on the field, the red plane on the mission planner is opposite (almost everytime) to the true north.
What I did to solve the problem:
1- Check on “enable” magnetometer in MP/Configuration/hardware
2- Correct the declination and confirm in MP/configuration/adv parameter
That solution didn’t work completely, what I mean with that is that it corrects the orientation a little bit.
I don´t have an external magnetometer.
The question is:
What I have to do so that when I power up my APM 2.5 in the field and my bixler is pointing to N,E,W or S, in the mission planner that little red plane point to the same direction?
I am still unable to load the drivers and create a com port from MP. I reloaded my operating system on my computer and can see the drivers on the program list but they still do not load. Bill sent me a link to MP but no change.
The 3DR Raido will connect to a com port and load to the remote radio. I am unable to connect to the to MP with the 3DR Radio.
I received a RA number last Friday but have not recived a pickup tag. I will be returning Two complete APM's 2.6.... APM, GPS Power Unit and 3DR Raido.
I plan to purchase a new lap top to decate to MP. Maybe that will help.

Neill If you follow the complete blog you see that there were many problems before the windows addition.
Windows 7 has a problem with drivers and sometimes the drivers do not load with the correct configuration.
My problem was dealing with the 2.6 apm. When I had a 2.5 apm I did not have the problems with the drivers.
@Tony
windows 8?
there's your problem.

Will distributors get a head's up on the release date and some information on the other new products?
Should be out by Monday at the latest, along with a lot of other new products. Just getting all the ducks in a row for a smooth launch.
Keshan, this is actually a blog about APM2.6. Best to start a new discussion or ask in the ArduPlane v2.7x thread.
