This application was designed to help you test your ArduIMU V2 by showing graphically and numerically all of the data being output from the IMU.

You can download the Setup here: ArduIMUTest Setup (3 MB)

This version of the Test App uses the MSCOMM control, so the max COM port number is 16 (unfortunately a limitation set forth my Microsoft).

Before starting the application, make sure your ArduIMU is sitting flat with the serial cable towards yourself. When the application starts, it will automatically try to find the right COM port and it defaults to 38,400 baud.

To reset the ArduIMU, click Disconnect and Connect again on the application. It takes about 10 seconds for the ArduIMU to boot up and start sending serial messages so please be patient.

No need for LabView runtime! Yay! However, it now requires DirectX 8 runtime :)

EDIT: A special thanks to Michal for providing the 3DS file and texture map! Thank you Michal!!!

Hi, I just got my arduIMU+ v2, yäy... one question though: I just downloaded the lates version of the arduIMU (181). I have changed DCM and Analog data variables to one, I have also set PRINT_GPS and USE_MAGNOMETER to zero since i dont have those. I still dont get any readings for other variables than the first three... If I put PRINT_BINARY to zero I get reading on the other fields, but the plane/box gets highly instable ( i can hardly touch the imu and the plane is spinning all over the place) is this supposed to happen? Thanks in advance

Is there any chance this software will be compatible with the ArduIMU V3? Would the path of least resistance be to modify the new ArduIMU code to conform to the syntax of the Test Application?

@varinder did you get the gps working, if so what kind did you buy?

Comment by Chris Holloway on May 25, 2012 at 9:13pm

My v3+ works great but having gps issues. I think I need to reconfigure the firmware to play nicely with ArduIMU.

Hi, 

I didn't use the GPS. I think you just buy the Ublox 5 and install it.

Having issues with the GPS, I think I need to reconfigure it before it will talk to the ArduIMU board.
