"That is what I expected but where do we get it from? I have ordered one of these boards but it will be useless without firmware, I am not a programmer so I will not be able to write my own."

"From Evan Evans What I would like to know is whether this V3 Arduimu board requires special software to run it or whether the the Arduimu 1.8.2 will work. The fact that it is so different to the Arduimu V2 rather indicates that it will require it…"

"Renamed 'AP_GPS_Auto.cpp' to 'AP_GPS_Auto.cppx' and 'AP_GPS_NMEA.cpp' to 'AP_GPS_NMEA.cppx' ...and It COMPILES!! Thanks again guys, will test soon. Graham"

"OK, thanks guys, I managed to get rid of that compile errror, I had renamed AP_GPS to AP_GPSxxx and created a new folder called AP_GPS but it wasn't showing up in my sketchbook options.   LOL, now I get these: C:\My…"

"Just did everything from scratch, downloaded new ArduIMU v1.8.2, unzipped it and put 'arduimu' & 'libraries' into my 'sketchbook location' (C:\My Documents\Arduino\) Re-downloaded everything from…"

"Hi Graham, yes they are the ones, as I said I have all the Arduimu files from 1.7 in there but the only one that shows up when I go File-sketchbook is the one without any extras ie just Arduimu. so if you copy the Arduimu_1_8_2 file into there you…"

"No, you need to install libraries into location specified in 'scetchbook location' field of arduino's preferences. In mu case it is C:\Users\Andrew\Documents\Arduino.   Just take a look to preference dialog…"

"Thanks Evan, the 2 folders in the ArduIMU folder are named 'arduimu' & 'libraries', is that what you're referring too?"

"Hi Graham,   A peculiarity have noticed  is that when you open the Arduino sketchbook only Arduimu shows up. In my Arduino directory in C:\ documents etc. I have a number of Arduimu directories, Arduimu_1_7   etc but only the one…"

"Putting this in: if(GPS.new_data==1 && GPS::GPS_OK == GPS.status()) { gives this error: 'GPS_OK' is not a member of 'GPS' Yes using Arduino-022 Just busy downloading 1.8.2 again now..."

"I have downloaded the arduimu archive http://ardu-imu.googlecode.com/files/ArduIMU_1.8.2.zip and verified that this change compiles fine. So, I am curious why it does not work in your case... Just to verify, I use arduino-022 to build the arduimu…"

"Got the Arducopter libraries (from http://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libraries/AP_GPS) but I'm still getting the same error? BTW I copied the arduimu.pde and output.pde changes from the 'gps_fix.patch' of yours from a few…"

"Hi Andrew, thanks for replying. I'm using the libraries that came in Arduimu.zip, but I'll go get the arducopter ones now"

"To build IMU code with this fix, I have used MTK GPS class from ArduCopter libraries (http://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/libraries/AP_GPS). What version of libraries do you use?   Thanks, Andrew"

"Getting same error: 'ClassAP_GPS_MTK' has no member named 'GPS_OK', which files do I need to update? I am using ArduImu v1.8.2"

"Hi Andrew,   I went back to basics and used the files in the Arduimu 1.8.2 download and it compile OK and uploaded to the Arduimu board.   Everything seems to work fine except the Ardupilot board seems to be unhappy when I switch to…"
