hi,
i would like to test my sensors, and not the one on the board, is there a way to bypass them and conenct mine?
i have:
- accelero
- gyro
- magnetometer
thx for help
best regards
P.S because i already had a smart answer, (soldering iron) i would like to be able to (software side) disable the use of onboard sensors, and force the connection to mine

@james thxx for the tip, i need to find out how to do that, haven t received my arducopter electronic yet, just doing some inquiries
@lloyd i think james s solution should work
After a heavy crash on the weekend (lost a prop at 90metres) my oilpan seems to have non-functioning x and z gyros.
Are the gyros chips damaged from the heavy crash or is it more likely that some connections are loose?
It seems odd that the x and y gyros are on the same chip and one appears working and the other not.
I have posted here because all other functions on the oilpan appear to work so I am wondering if I could attach another gyro board via the i2c bus and still use the oilpan?
Thanks in advance.
Put your sensors on a different i2c address from the default, and then adjust your code to use the new addresses. Most of those sensors have a (semi) customizable i2c address.
