ArduIMU does not work as it should (getting no data)

Hi,

when i plug in IMU to Mega the system seems to work, but when i go into testmode and read the data i dont get any results. Looks like the Mega isnt getting any data from IMU (Gyro and Accel), barometric sensor works. When i press against the pins on the side the Mega gets some values from the other sensors. I checked all of the solder points and to me they look correct. Can it be something else?

Is there a way to test the IMU without the Mega so i can test if the Sensors work correctly?

Cheers Sam

Hi Sam,

The first thing to check is the solder joints, this seems to be the number one issue, I had a customer who built a kit and he and a friend checked the board, they were sure all was well, however they had missed one pin when soldering the board, this stopped the whole system from working, please let us know :)

Regards

Martin.
