Another ArduPilotMega Smokeshow. Damn. Attempting to calibrate the radio on the APM running AC2 and when I clicked reset, Everythng started to smoke, I pulled the usb cable out, and the motors started up, while still smoking. This has happend before, but I erroneously thought they would fix the issue, It is inherent in the APM I guess, new rules, never connect USB and Lipo then move the switch, or, never move the switch while USB and lipo are both connected
