It is really hard to follow this discussion with 2 blogs on the same subject, with almost the same name, going on at the same time.

So what's the verdict everyone?  I haven't had a chance to try it yet as Ive been flat out.  Looks like Michael is the only contender.

Contributors to the pot, are we happy to give the reward to Michael?  I'll give it 7 days, if no objections, I'm proposing to give the bounty to Michael.

The code did verify (with the progmen modification, using arduino 022 relaxpatch, and  the duemilianove atmega 328 board) but I am getting errors in uploading the code to the board:

Binary sketch size: 27162 bytes (of a 30720 byte maximum)
avrdude: stk500_getsync(): not in sync: resp=0xfe
avrdude: stk500_disable(): protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x51

Perhaps this is my bootloader issue with the ArduIMU as shipped?

Michael, is it necessary to have users copy the code from the other site and past it to your code, or could things be made easier for people to test it out? 

Cliff,

Double check:

-Serialport number is correct

-You have selected right board from the list

-Press ArduIMU reset button just after clicking upload from pc. Timing is crucial here, not too soon or late, you need to experiment that.

Check first post here:

I don't have ArduIMU, but i always had that same error with ArduinoPro mini board. Hitting board reset button before upload solved the problem.

Has anyone (besides the writers of the code) been able to confirm that there is a working ArduIMU Camera Gimbal stabiliser?  I personally have been busy and haven't had a chance to try yet.

@Marc that worked as in you were about to install it, or that worked as the gimbal stabiliser did a good job?

I have attempted to test the gimbal stabilizer code, but have not yet had any luck in getting it installed and running. I have verified Michael's code in the IDE, and received a report of the code successfully uploading to the ArduIMU, (thanks to several of you offering good advice-Jani, Vernon, Micheal)  however it did not appear to run or affect any movement of the servos. I suspect that I have not really uploaded the code or some other issue other than the code is the problem. However, in order to determine this, I am going to have to go into much more detail with the arduIMU than I have in terms of uploading test code, etc which I have not had time to do yet. I am new to the arduIMU and have not used the one I received other than this attempted testing, so I don't really know if my hardware is healthy.

And Don, yes, the jumping back and forth between threads is a pain!

when you uploaded the code, it wil lgho though an init process, and print pwm's every seconds or so.

To enter the menu you need to press enter a few times.

@Hai I managed to compile the code, now I've uploaded it to ArduIMU, but I suppose I've done something wrong because it doesn't work. I've connected two servos (PWM0 and PWM1) but they don't move. I get non ASCII messages through serial port and I can't enter CLI after sending some NL/CR. 

this is what you should se eon the console

the servos should be connected to D8 and pwm0 for roll and pitch, also radio input on a0 and a1
