If you say you have checked it all & everything is correct(that was fast  :o ), then most probably your boards are toast  :P
I can only tell you what can be the cause, troubleshooting it properly is your chore.

Esc's are very dirty power source for APM. You should either use power module or a separate bec/ubec for powering APM. Sometimes voltage may drop to less than 4.5v on esc's under high load which may lead to a brownout and crash.
Check that regulator too as Hareesh said, completely forgot that!

yes i felt the same i thought the 3dr people would have done some settings which would not allow clones to be flied :P juss a thought :P

Go to
Mission Planner--Initial setup--Install firmware--Pick Previous Firmware (on the right side at the bottom)--Then either select from the drop down menu or click on appropriate image for your configuration.

Is motors rotating the right way ?
props are mounted Appropriate directions ?

cyberhack

yes motor 1 and motor 2 clockwise
motor 3 and motor 4 anticlockwise
and props are also proper according to the rotation

I don't think that's the right config.

ohh yeah sry i have considered the motors wrng side i mean i numbered them wrng yeah the motors are rotation as u said ...........(y)

cyberhack

@akhil i motors rotate the same way posted in the picture bt i suppose i have plugged the esc into apm considering the front left as 1 and front right as 3 and similarly others
i suppose attached them symmetrically would that be a prb? i mean i mistakenly considered motor 3 as motor 1 and connected and tried :P lol i figured it out after breaking so many props  :banghead: :thumbsup: will give it a try tomorrow and let u knw shitt i didnt even see it before :( anyways thankxx both of u wil let u knw abt the result motor rotations are correct bt bec plugging is wrng :P  ;D :giggle:

akhilzid

that means you swapped 1 and 3 right?
if yes then that should be the problem.

cyberhack

yup so silly of me was thinking it was some serious issue with the apm :) thanxx

sooraj.palakkad

best of luck, and next time setting up a flight controller - refer it's manual first :)
