Yesteday I've received a package that I wait 2 months.

And starting assembling immediatly.

I desided to make a configuraton described in http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot/wiki/ArduIMU

1. How to plug a power to this config? ArduPilot has a 2 power connections: 

 - "Gnd"+ "Vcc"

 - "Batt +" + "Batt -"

2. Picture has descriprion "AP pin D6" but connected there at D12 or D13. Where is true?

3. The manual has a description, that for this config needs to load a new code with modification

#define PRINT_BINARY 1

I download, change script and load it to ArduIMU.

After this procedure I have  problems described in "new_arduimu" attachment.

In detail:

- There are some strange simbols appears at "ArduIMU Demo" application;

- information about position and acceleration is out now

There are no any errors during ArdoIMU loading.

4 Question to power at provedure ArduIMU - do I need a addition power or it possible to power from FTDI cable in loading time? If I need - plz describe it more details - I didn do addition power just from FTDI

5 Then I try to load a new script 2.6 to ArdoPilot I have the same error 

that described in forum:http://diydrones.com/forum/topics/error-uploading-to-ardustation?id=705844:Topic:107929&page=2#comments

But at this situation I plug addition power to ArdoPilot. 

Again question - how to plug a power to board? 

I did to connectios "Gnd"+ "Vcc", Austing plug to Batt +" + "Batt -"

But result the same.

6. About GPS. I've a UBLOX. But then I plug it to ArdoIMU there no blue indicator lighting. It just flash in dure init phase. The question is then it have to light: then device (ublox) connected correctly or then ublox receve a signal from satellites and feed it to ArdoIMU?
