You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
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 Quadrocopter here. I started with Jose's software, but modified it somewhat.
And yes, in order to upload the firmware to the ArduIMU, it needs to be powered on. The FTDI programming cable should take care of that.
