You Auses. Can you get me a job down there ?"
Greg Fletcher commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"Kevin, That exactly what the googlecode is for. Locationaly challenged teams to work on the same project. I have been working solo, but I'm sure you can give team members permissions. The'rs an SVN system that keeps track of changes, but I…"
Kevin Bloch commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"ok Greg, noted a few minutes too late...
I'll have a look into starting a google code page but it would be nice to have an open area for people to book out code and upload their own changes to help progress this faster."
Kevin Bloch commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"Just be aware that this code is initial and untested in the air! Also, a bit of data has been stripped out to speed sending and processing and I don't think the TWI comms lost routines work yet. I will be improving on this unfinished code in…"
Kevin Bloch commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"The Ardupilot IMU routine, thanks to MarkW for the original design. Hopefully this will give most people a start into TWI.

Greg Fletcher commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"Kevin, I don't think that you can include a file, only pics & links. It must be part of the blog entry and that wouldn't be good to scroll thru. You can only include a link to it(button left of camera button), That,s why you need to…"
Kevin Bloch commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"ok I'll attach as text the main and TWI routines for the IMU... I will attach the library files tonight / tomorrow. I've ended up hacking the Ardupilot so I'll need to get the release version and add the TWI functions as an option,…"
Kevin Bloch commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"I would like to attach the first version of the TWI code - how do you add a .zip file to a blog entry?"
Greg Fletcher commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"Kevin, I have been working well for the past month on additional capability with the ArduPilot. I have got the 2 way coms thing working very well using the thermopile version. For the GCS hardware I am using a very tricked out Ardustation attached…"
Kevin Bloch commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"During the current ground testing it's all held together with tape but as I get time I'll be mounting everything securely, if you look at the picture a few frames above showing the side view of the fuselage you can see a small clear…"

DeveloperDoug Weibel commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!
"The Ardupilot board still has lots of "legs", especially using it with ArduIMU.
A TWI interface between the two, leaving the serial port free on the AP should make bidirectional comms easy.
Doing both OSD and downlink telemetry is a…"
Cliff Dearden commented on Kevin Bloch's blog post How far can the original Ardupilot + IMU go?!"I too was having problems with most of those abbreviations, thanks for asking the questions Bernard and
thanks Ken for answering them."

Metaphorically speaking that is!
Seeing the development of code for the Ardupilot 'legacy*' has slowed right down I've decided to start modifying it myself to be a little more functional.
As I progress I'll post the updated code for everyone to benefit...
My aims so far are;
1) TWI between IMU and Autopilot
2) Bi-directional comms to GCS
3) External board to accomodate 2x pressure sensors, voltage + current, 12v upconverter for video & perhaps relay… Continue
