    I'm just wondering if there's anywhere in Ireland / Dublin to buy an Ardupilot 2.5 controller? I accidentally fried mine. I can get one from another country, I was looking to get one sooner.

    Thanks

    Specifically looking for an APM2.5? most you get now are 2.6 / 2.7.
    How fried is it? I've been able to fix a few accidental reverse polarities in the past on them, the board is fairly well provided with protection diodes.

    It doesn't really matter if it's 2.5 or 2.6/7. I can see one of the diodes is gone and what looks like a transistor. I tried to bypass the diode by soldering on a piece of wire but it didn't work after. I had 25V going to it instead of 5V (by accident), I'm not sure what current was going to it. Got a bit of smoke coming from it.

    Ok, I was going to suggest bridging, but 22v cooked more than the diode I suspect :(
    UK seller like buildyourowndrone is probably your best bet for speed I reckon.
