Pic or she is a fantasy in your head 
4.3 is the firmware version on the flight controller itself
Ok so I have the latest then 
As I said the Pc side of all this is my Achilles hell in all this 
Yeah the config needs to be the latest to work with the BF versions. So need config 10.8.0 for BF 4.3RC1-6.
I assume 10.8.0 is compatible with older versions of BF
And I can download from Git Hub yah ??? as can see where to click to download
Depends on your version of BF on the FC, either 4.2.x or 4.3 more than likely. You don’t need the 10.8.0 release of the configurator for none 4.3 versions of BF.
You then flash the FC from configurator, i.e. change from 4.2.10 to 4.2.10 to 4.3RC1/RC2, etc.
The configurator just runs on the PC lets you viwer and change settings, and debug (this is the 10.x thing), the brains of the quad is the Betaflight firmware, which is 4.2.x or new (maybe not lovely) none final release version of 4.3.x
I’m still not 100% convinced 10.8.0 is compatible with 4.2.x versions of BF as that’s technically an RC (release candidate, not final release) too! 4.3 isn’t final either. I still think I killed (it’s not dead actually linux rescued it in DFU mode, cos windows is like shite when it comes to drivers) on a 4.2.x version by using a 10.8.0 release on someones PC in the field when resource re-mapping (actually were trying to change motor locations!)

Have you tried the drop down box to check th3 correct com port is selected Nick?
Also I seem to vaguely remember that some peripherals (like gps module) connected to your flight controller can cause connection issues. I think it depends on if it powers on via usb rather than battery that can cause the issue. Ill see if I can find the info again

Well I’m making head way at lease, Iv just plugged the Apex in which linked up straight away. Therefore I’m assuming It can only be the bloody cable which I find hard to believe as Iv tried so many.
It seems the MAMMBA use a type C connector which I know the cable I’m trying to use is a data 1 due to me using it to link me phone to me car ??.
Has it got gps Nick? If so unplug it and try again.
