magnetometer cable

Posted by Richard Gosling on January 20, 2011 at 4:37am

Hi,

 

Could somebody out there please advise me on where and what to buy in order to connect a magno to the Arducopter board. I'm about to buy a magno from DIY drones but it doesn't seem to come with cable.

 

A link would be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Richard

    There are two ways to attach the mag to the APM/IMU.  One is to use a modified GPS cable and connect to the i2c port.  The other is to solder it directly to the board.  The instructions are found on the wiki:

    I have used both methods and recommend that you use the cable.  Less likelihood of issues later.
