I downloaded the code for the new ArduIMU and am trying to open it but when I do it says the Labview file is later then the current version of labview. Is there a way to update labview or a way…Continue

Go through all the debugging tips. If it still doesn't work, try another PC. If that doesn't work, you may have a bad FTDI.

Trouble Uploading code

So I am using the red ardupilot board with the blue shield, and when I press upload in Arduino it just says uploading to I/O board and never stops.... no error or anything but never finishes. I have tried unplugging the GPS and I did go to the device manager and checked off the set RTS on close. It also says Binary sketch size: 23776 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum) under the uploading to I/O board but no errors or anything. I am using the FTDI from the ardupilot store too. Thanks for the…See More

Engineering Log

Hi I'm a high school senior and am starting my UAV project right now and have a quick question. I would like to create an "engineering log" where I can record my progress on a daily basis and thought it would be cool to do it on the site rather than in private so people can see what I'm doing and tell me if I'm doing anything wrong. Also it might end up being helpful for new members to the site that are starting their UAV and are lost like I am so much :) Should I do this on my blog posts or…See More

Hello,,Iam new in this forum and i have a problem with IMU for generating pitch angle , I am using the Y-Gyro for short range BUT i must make another sensor (accelometre ) along with Y-Gyro for long range correction using adaptive filtring tecq-…

Hi there I'm sitting in the same boat with a Ardupilot and a ArduIMU. Any news about the HERO :-) who writes the code :-) cheers from Switzerland

Does the IMU output need to be translated into something Ardu understands? It took a long time before Ardu was adapted to both NMEA and binary Sirf. I can only imagine the nightmare. Ideas are simple, reality is the beoyotch and I have no choice but…

In time the IMU will be interfaced to ArduPilot, but someone must write code for that, in mean time IR sensors will get you in the air. Good luck there is a lot of reading.

Ok I think i see where i went wrong, I was thinking that the accelerometers and Gyros on the IMU could be used as the XY and Z senso(http://store.diydrones.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=SE-0002-01) So i didnt order them. So now ill go order…

Chris Anderson replied to Chris Lane's discussion 'A little confused....'

We've tried to make this as clear as possible with an "everything you need" list on the ArduPilot home page and in the tabs above, to say nothing of the manual. You can use any pins for the ArduIMU, but yes, I think they were…

In my line of work, we have a saying; RTFM As Chris mentioned the ArduIMU may not have a manual yet, but the ArduPilot sure does!

Chris Lane replied to Chris Lane's discussion 'A little confused....'

Ok, well i bought an ArduPilot board too. So right now i have the ArduPilot board from sparkfun, The Ubox 5 GPS and the ArduIMU board as well as a FTDI cable. What else will i need to make an autopilot? and was the IMU board supposed to have the…

Chris Anderson replied to Chris Lane's discussion 'A little confused....'

Chris, ArduIMU actually has nothing to do with Ardupilot. It's just an IMU and is only useful as a sensor package to go with some other device. Were you looking for a full autopilot? We'll be releasing proper documentation for ArduIMU…

A little confused....

Ok so today i got my ArduIMU and GPS in the mail, yay. However I am a little confused because i am bran new to this. does the ArduIMU replace Ardupilot or is it an add on to it? Does anyone have a picture of there setup with the IMU built because I am not sure what all the holes are for i only know where the programing cable and gyro/accelerometers go.Thanks.See More

Im a senior at California Polytechnic State University studying aerospace engineering and I am also thinking about building one of these auto pilots for my senior project. Anyway just thought I'd say hi. BTW what kind of plane are you going to put this on?
