"Did you have a hard landing/crash that might have damaged the motor bearings? Does it sound differently than the others? I just experienced this with my rig. The motor (Turnigy 2217 16turn 1050kv) starts slower than the others and, the quad did not…"
"I recently got the magnetometer for my ArduIMU+ based Quadrocopter. Nice! I got it to work with the original ArduIMU code, but need to tweak my quad firmware some more to get it right.
But I was hesitant to solder it on top of the board directly, as…"

"The procedure to build and upload code to the ArduIMU is explained on the ArduIMU wiki. They also refer to this page on the ArduPilot Wiki. Make sure to choose the correct board type ("Arduino Duemilanove w/ATmega328"). The ArduIMU can be powered…"
"If you want to use the ArduIMU+ (v2 flat, I hope) to control a Quadrocopter, you would have to go with Jose Julio's ArduIMU quadcopter software. The original ArduIMU code is just that - an IMU. I've documented the building of my ArduIMU+ - based…"
"I suggest to start with a small isolated test program that does nothing but reading the PPM values and prints out the channels to the serial port. I had similar trouble in getting the firmware to cooperate with my PPM encoder board (Spektrum2PPM…"
"@Scotty: Actually, you can use the ArduIMU as a controller board (this is what I am currently working on myself): see http://code.google.com/p/easy-imu-pilot/ or http://diydrones.com/pr..."
"Very cool, thanks a lot for the detailed description. I am currently building an ArduIMU+ based quadrocopter myself, so I'll take a look at your work when I reach the software stage."
"Very cool, I love the idea of using these Wago terminal blocks. Will use it for my own quadrocopter project as well, if you don't mind :)
