Hi there! I'm happy to announce the new ArduIMU firmware and ground station, you can download it from here:http://code.google.com/p/ardu-imu/downloads/listWhat new in the firmware:-You can now select DCM, Euler Angles our both.-Enable GPS output data.-Some minor bug fixed.-The orientation of the gyros and accels are now corrected.Whats new in the Ground Station:-Now the Baud speed is set to 38400 bps to be compatible with ArduPilot uBlox GPS.-You can see now the Euler Angles generated on the uController.-Better debug tools.-GPS information.-Raw Data.What i'm doing now:-Designing new PCB's.-Improving ArduPilot code.-FPV testing with ArduPilot.-Taking care of the business and shipments.-Improving the Store.-Going to School.-Trying to answer some emails.-Always trying to get a beer and some Sushi..Please be patient, I'm always working for you! ;-) Thanks for you support!
Sorry i forgot to add the 360 compensation... But yes the YAW is correct. Also i forgot to correct another bug report by Doug Weibel (thanks!). but only affects ground speed display... :/ never is perfect..
What i'm doing now:
-Designing new PCB's.
-Improving ArduPilot code.
-FPV testing with ArduPilot.
-Taking care of the business and shipments.
-Improving the Store.
-Going to School.
-Trying to answer some emails.
-Always trying to get a beer and some Sushi..
Only one glitch so far: What is the expected output for yaw? Do I misunderstand the output? Roll and pitch seem to be working fine. But yaw swings fairly quickly from 0 to +/-179.9 degrees and stays there. If I yaw the device it will react, but then, even in the new position yaw clocks over to 179 again. At first I thought it was because I had no GPS connection. So I hard coded both ground speed and 3d speed to 10.0, and ground course to (anything). Still does it. What am I missing about this?
@CLT - With v1.2 you have some choice of data to be sent out. The default is euler angles. Change the flag to have the DCM matrix info sent out as well and groundtest.vi will work.

I want to connect arduIMU to arduPilot.
ny suggestion about the best way to connect them ?

Thanks a lot !
I see data arriving in Serial_server.vi panel (thanks to viky's code).
But I don't see anything in groundtest !
Could you help ?
Thanks,
