Gyro yaw & pitch not working?

I hope someone can shine some light on this issue i am having with the ArduIMU V2.

I have tried many software settings, uploaded the latest version, but no matter what, i do not get any readings from the gyro for yaw and pitch.

When using Happykillmore's software i get some numbers for X pitch, Y roll and Z yaw, of which Z yaw does not seem to do anything when i rotate the board on it's z axis.

Gyro pitch and yaw remain zero, while roll seems to work fine.

If the sensor is broken, i would expect either Pitch and Roll not to function or Yaw. Atleast if the yaw reading is the single axis gyro on this board.

Am i missing something? Is there some better way to test the sensors?

I tried HappyKillmore's software, the raw terminal output, even the binary output..

Some idea's anyone? or could it be that the board is broken?

Thanks,

Sven

I am having the same issue you're having. Though the elevator responds in the manual mode, it does not respond when pitching the plane up and down. This is w/ Ardupilot Mega.
