Happy's IMU test and APmega

Posted by Greg Fletcher on March 1, 2011 at 7:11pm

I don't ask for help much. Figuring it out for myself is how I learned, but I am asking now. I just soldered a new APmega  and flashed it everything's working great. I tried to get it to work with the IMUtest v1.1.18 and I get no data comming in. I see the data streaming with the serial monitor thru the usb port, but the IMUtest shows no data. I tried another IMU an it worked normally. I can't figure it out. The print outs of both IMU's looks the same as it should, but it just doesn't work ...?

    Greg, I know you asked this question a long time ago, but just for anyone reading this in the future. The APM's IMU board does not output the IMU Binary Protocol that the ArduIMU V2 put out...so my testing application doesn't work for it. I suppose I could edit my test app to run on MAVlink or APM binary (not obsolete)...but the best option is to either use Michael Obourne's Planner in MAVlink GCS mode or download my GCS: http://code.google.com/p/happykillmore-gcs/

    Hi,

    If you want to test APM IMU, you can set the GCS link as the USB port and use the HK GCS artificial horizon?

    You can also (i believe) see the raw serial data to.

    Regards

    does the IMU CLI test work on either AP with the APM_1.2 zip version?
