"Hi Werner, I'm very sorry to tell you the program is suited only for the pro mini 8Mhz/3.3v and a adxl345 breakout board. I started development on the razor just because one was collecting dust on my desk. Biggest issue with the razor is that…"

"Frank, I like your project very much and purchased the sparcfun razor 9DOF IMU (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10736?). I got a little bit lost on which software to load for this unit  (in the dpb_all file there is something on a arduino pro…"

"Frank FYI, the software seems to be working as I can load and review the samples (getting a "could not find ... smp.meta").  This project is just what the doctor ordered to reduce my blood pressure - while attempting to balance prop…"

Frank Al replied to elad o's discussion solid red led after changing BMP085 to MS5611
"Oh yes, that's right, I did the modification for arducopter. But whatever Arduthing it concerns, a test program should show correct figures. The program I used to check the 5611 (test1i2c.cpp.hex) is attached. It uses my modified…"

hello

the problem seems to be at the code as I removed the old bocsh baro I can get some data using the test code for the ms5611 in the ap_baro maybe you know where can I find in the code the initialize of the old sensor and disable it replacing it with the new one?
