  1. Please check the following
    a) You have firmware loaded
    b) You have the correct serial port selected
    c) PX4 YOU have the micro sd card installed
    d) Try a different usb port

Your assistance will greatly appreciated.

it looks like mission planner does not have a connection to your flight controller. confirm the COM port (upper right of mission planner window)

Try ‘Auto’

If that doesnt work, you need to determine which of your computer’s COM port your USB cable is plugged in to. Then select that COM port identified in the upper right of mission planner.

Here is some more info: (shows pictures of the Pixhawk flight controller, but the steps are the same)
