Took me some research to get it working. But finally everything ok. Here some important hints:

1. Do not load the APM 3.2.1 Firmware, use 3.2 instead. Mission planner will say "the board is retired" and propose automatically 3.2.1 - cancel this and you'll get 3.2.
2. Cable between OSD and HKPilot needs an additional Tx(OSD) -> Rx(HKPilot) connection. Otherwise OSD is not updating. For this you have to create you own cable.
3. For Firmwareupdate of the OSD use a 6 pin FTDI (USB-TTL) with CTL control output. Make sure the CTL-Signal is connected. Otherwise you get a "missing boot loader" error
4. For the OSD use the MinimOsd_Extra_Copter_Pre_release_Beta Firmware, based on firmware extra-2.4-r800. Can be downloaded here: http://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/minimosd-updating-gps-voltage-and-current/10391
5. Use external compass of the GPS. You have to cut carefully with a sharp knif on the PCB of the HKPilot at SJ10 between the two solder pads. There is no connection visible - anyway cut carefully until there is no connection between the solder pads measurable.

faulty board for me! Only 4v get out from board to osd/mav-link and radio rx. No way to setup volt and ampere reading-monitoring; try every pin! Low voltage board allarm.

Got this for my FPV 250. Good value for money. Sadly, I had to cut the link to get the external compass to work, and that was the last time I could communicate with the board. This is obviously a great board, but the necessity to cut a miniscule solder link proved too much of a hurdle for my skills, and I had to put it back into its box, and put it on the shelf. Hugely, disappointed that I couldn't get it working.

Not Impressed with this kit, the Baro is not working even with foam and all precautions taken, I can only fly it in Stabilise mode and GPS modes, therefore cannot use the autotune and autotrim .... seriously annoying and disappointed for the price!

Could not connect to mission planner using the rf module. Spent hours before I figured out that the rx and tx where switched on the cable going to the module from the APM. Hours of troubleshooting is not what I expect with a brand new product.

Excellent Product! Ive purchased a few HKPilots and APMs in my Multirotor quests and this is the smallest yet works just the same as the larger 2.5 - 2.7 variants. In my opinion, I think this is so much better and easier to work with. Great savings on weight and really makes room for a good fit in my QAV280. I would prefer that it came with the pins uncrimped as I had spent quite abit of time trimming down the wiring which came a little too long for mini quads. Yes, Ive literally used up everything that came with this package. Nothing left unplugged. I'll try to post up pictures in the 'Files' tab to show you how I managed to rewire it neatly.
