ArduPilot + XBee + ArduIMU?

Posted by Teejay on April 22, 2010 at 3:35pm

Hi,

Just got my new ArduIMU board to replace my FMA Co-Pilot thermopiles?

Skimming through the documentation, but I couldn't find any leads...

Is there a way to use the ArduIMU with an XBee? Since from the board diagrams, they use the same wires on the HOWTO. Do I have to solder new headers somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Teejay

UPDATE: I think I've found solution to this... was poking the ArduIMU with a multimeter, and I discovered could just tap power from the ArduIMU to the Xbee adapter. For some reason, my soldering iron won't work (heat up)... oh, and also the 5V pins on the shield also supplies 5V... Yup, you're right Taylor... thanks. :)

I think an update on the wiki would be great.

Here is the manual for setting up the arduIMU>>

And here are the parts of the arduPilot manual for you to interface arduPilot with arduIMu and the xbees.
THIS one is xbees>> http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/wiki/TelemetryPage
And this one is ardupilot with arduIMU>> http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/wiki/ArduIMU
