Hi all, any help here would be greatly appreciated.

I'm working on an orientation-position (no autopilot) project and picked up the ArduIMU v3 and a D2523T GPS from spark fun:

http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9566  this is a ublox 6 receiver

I've got the ArduIMU working great with the latest code uploaded and verified using the ArduIMU test utility. Awesome!

I can't get the GPS to work correctly, though. When connected to ArduIMU it causes the test utility to crash, and it appears the unit isn't getting power...

I've set the pertinent user parameters to:

#define GPS_PROTOCOL 3    // 1 - NMEA,  2 - EM406,  3 - Ublox, 4 -- MediaTek  

#define PRINT_GPS 1     //Will print GPS data

Looking at other GPS units out there, it appears that there is an adapter board - although the D2523T unit does not have the same connecter that the older units use, a simple cable connects the GPS unit directly to the board.

Is the ublox 6 engine causing troubles? Perhaps the firmware needs to be downgraded or something?

I feel like I'm missing something easy... any ideas? Thanks for your time.
