just wanted to ask, how long your Code takes to upload to APM?
I haven't got any experience in that field, but uploading the code takes something like 5-10 Minutes before arduino-loader is ready with uploading.
Seems like a hell of a long time, but I may just have the wrong imagination of how long something like that should take.

#define SerBau 115200
If that number isn't 115200 your serial port will be slow.
When you press upload, at the bottom of your screen it says "uploading to I/O board". It isn't at that point, it's compiling..
Below that when it says "Binary sketch size . . ." It is finished compiling and started uploading.
Watch the lights on the IMU near the green light. The orange lights both start flashing as it is uploading.
Check the timing on those two sections. While it is compiling it is strictly CPU limited. When it is uploading the serial port timing takes over.
Shut down everything else on the computer that you don't need.
I have a rather slow laptop, about 4 years old, 1,5ghz, 2gb Ram
well, basically when i start pressing upload to the board in arduino 21, it is time to get a coffee, cause that can really take a while. I was surprised, and i guessed something was wrong with my setup, because otherwise it would be impossible to change anything proper on the code without always waiting for ages.
Any Ideas you have how to speed things up?
It can't be a failure on the APM Board, can it?
