"Hello,
Measuring the resistance across 5V and GND on several pins for one of our ArduIMU's here at the store, the resistance is hundreds of kilo ohms. It could be a faulty capacitor on your board, shorting but not fully. If you have something with a…"

2k2f7mpmgd5j7 replied to Dale's discussion Removing apm 2.0 shield
"Hi Dale,
The APM2 is not designed for the shield to be removed, and we do not recommend attempting to un-solder the shield. In the future, we will offer different options for the shield (check out Jordi's blog post here).

2k2f7mpmgd5j7 replied to Kur's discussion ArduPilot Mega Dimensions - Updated
"Hi Kur,
In Eagle CAD, you can use the "mark" tool to set the origin to any point on the board. You can then move the cursor around the board to find the dimensions that you need.

2k2f7mpmgd5j7 replied to Ruwan's discussion ArduIMU V3
"Hi Rapi,
The ArduIMU V3 is not a replacement for the ArduPilot Mega IMU shield or the ATMega boards. You can find a full list of features on each board in the product descriptions online, but to summarize: the V3 lacks many of the features that are…"

2k2f7mpmgd5j7 replied to Ellison Chan's discussion Busted APM
"Hi Ellison, If the 328 chip is still working despite the chip in it, you can probably still use the board as it is, especially if you do not need to reprogram the chip. If you need to reprogram the chip, you can solder some pins onto the AT328 ISP…"

2k2f7mpmgd5j7 replied to Bill Disbrow's discussion Inconsistant Start-up
"Hi Bill,
Does the red board have problems booting too, or is it just the blue board that boots inconsistently? Have you checked your soldering carefully to make sure that there are no solder jumps and that there is plenty of solder on each of the…"

2k2f7mpmgd5j7 replied to Alex's discussion Faulty pressure sensor on the Ardu Pilot Mega IMU
"Hi Alex,
The values should change for the tests that you've tried. You can also check to see if the ADC chip is working correctly: try running the ADC test in CLI mode and see if the gyro values are normal (around 1600)? If the gyro values are…"

2k2f7mpmgd5j7 replied to Alessandro Vitali's discussion Oilpan Airpressure Error
"Hi Alessandro,
The pressure value may vary +/- 10 units for the pressure sensor on the oilpan, so a reading that ranges from 100060 to 100080 should be okay."
