  Forum search,  http://www.diydrones.com/forum# looking for "hexacopter", no results.  Something is rotten in Denmark.

  search is not working for me either. A simple search on the word "firmware" yields 'no results'.

  What is the difference between:

  1)"Arducopter 3DR Hexa B + Optional Electronics kit" from 3DR

  2)"ArduCopter 3DR Hexa C - Ready-to-Fly*" from udrones.com

  I realize this is essentially the same company - but am wondering if the assembly is the only difference between these two items...

  Anyone else getting "no results" when using the Search function on the discussion forum?

  Sounds great Stephen. Thank you.

  Wayne - you can find the pre-built hexes at http://firmware.diydrones.com/  You will want the "daily builds" of the appropriate branch (copter, plane, etc)

  Note that these builds are compiled and uploaded daily based on the current Git repository so you will have to make sure that use are using the latest codebase when compiling.

  OK, that sounds better. Can I download the standard firmware file from somewhere to compare with the one I compiled to ensure they match?

  Wayne - The warnings are expected (and normal) with the APM code. The output file is expected to be put in a temp file - that's how the makefile is programmed.

  If you're using the Arduino environment, simply select the mega2560 board and correct com port, then press "verify" and then press "upload". Arduino will take care of the details.

  The makefile is only used directly if you're using Linux or Cygwin (on Windows).

  Arduino will compile and download from the project directory. The 'verify', which is a compile, happens in the temp. I never did try having arduino install it...
