"Some of the chips need "Arduino Uno" selected as the board instead of "Arduino Duemilanove or Nano w/ AT mega 328""

"I confirmed the chip is the problem. I swapped the 328 out with one from a sparkfun arduino starter kit and this one works fine."

"I removed the chip from the board and attached the legs directly to the FTDI socket (leg 7 -> +5V, leg 8 -> -ve, leg 2 -> tx, leg 3 -> rx). Still doesn't work. Presumably I need a new chip?"

"yes I've selected "Duemilanove or Nano mega 328" and check all the solder joints. Could this be a boot loader problem?"

"I get the same error message and can't upload the code. I also tried programming with the xbee removed but doesn't help. FTDI cable is fine. Also only the green PWR LED lights up (with xbee removed). With xbee connected the green and red…"

"Hi, I followed the instructions above (using latest 2.24+remzibi code), flashed the OSD with APM.bin and connected gnd and tx (out) from APM. OSD output shows ardupilot configuration correctly on the screen but no data is received from the APM.…"

"Thanks, so if I understand your first link correctly, if I can update and confirm via dxdiag the driver version is at least 6.14.10.7230 then it should work?"

"ok thanks, I can live with the mission planner for now. I guess this file will soon get too big as well?"

"Hi, I am looking for help on the correct operation for AUTO. For example: It seems to fly waypoints only once and ends up circling over the home position. Is this correct? Is there a way to automatically repeat the pattern? After…"

"Michael, Just thought you would be interested in the following: When switching between modes, for example from stabilize to manual, if there is any control input (roll, pitch or yaw) while making the mode change, the centering in the planner is off…"
