try to post the problem

maybe we can get a better result quicker 

Make sure:

--You've soldered the two jumper wires on the bottom of the board for the throttle.
--The Throttle channel is connected
--You've got pin D13 on the AP board
--You got the uBlox preprogammed for ArduPilot from the DIY Drones store (you had to select that option) or programmed it yourself with the instructions in the manual.

All this is in the manual, but just double checking...

hello chris,

yes i know

- two cables soldered
- throttle channel is connected.manually fly, stabillize fly, FLY-BY-WIRE works fine
- i cut pin D13 between ardu and shield
- ublox ist programmed by myself.with config-file from jordy.

in my first installation with code 2.4 i get the sat fix 100%.with the same gps-unit and cable...

must i close the "bind pins" or must leave open at starup ?

No need for bind plug if you've got the throttle connected. But try it anyway. If it works, it means you didn't connect the throttle properly.

Are you using the stock config file?

It works for everyone else, so this must be a hardware/config error...
