Hi there! Finally you can pre-order the ArduIMU V3 here.. You can find more info abut it in my last post here.
The final version of the board for full production is here, I'm expecting to start shipping them this Friday or Monday.
We are still working on documentation and giving the final cosmetic touches to the example code to have it ready before you have one in your hands and at the same time we are shipping samples to developers to do a full DCM integration.
From now on our new color will purple! All our new products will feature a Lilypad style look!
(Note: this is a stand-alone IMU, and is not designed to be a replacement for the "Oilpan" IMU shield of ArduPilot Mega.)

@Eric, Yes the AVR ISP MKII is a great programmer, is the one we use for everything. The bootloader files are inside the Arduino folder: "arduino-0022\hardware\arduino\bootloaders\ATmegaBOOT_168_atmega328.hex". Here is a good tutorial: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Burn168 DON"T MOVE THE FUSES THEY ARE ALREADY SET and you MIGHT BRICK your board if you set something wrong. Just move the lock bits to protect the bootloader from being corrupted by accident during normal use, nothing will happen if you screw them... ;-)
OK, thanks. I also found the MKII pin assignments in the help on AVR Studio. Then, one more question is the correct bootloader the same one used for Ardupilot that also uses the 328?
@Harry Lister, here's the pinout for the 6 pin ISP header on your programmer
Hello Guys,
Yes the first batch that when out had the bootloader corrupted. Sorry! You can upload the correct bootloader if you haven an ISP programmer or just send us an email to help@3drobotics.com to arrange a solution as Lorenzo suggested.
Hi guys, there is a mistake with the initial batch of boards shipped out, please send us an email to help@3drobotics.com to get you set up with a fix! I apologize fort the mix up, we dropped the ball on this one. Hopefully it didn't cause many problems out there!
@Archangel06, we'll have a few available today, fixed and all!
Possible fix for upload:
I had a similar problem uploading code. I found that it was a corrupt boot loader. Once I re-flashed it everything worked fine.
when do you think the ArduIMU V3 will be back in stock?
Hmm. I can't load it either. I'll ping the 3DR team and find out what the deal is.
Harry: What code are you loading? Not the old ArduIMU code I hope (that won't work). The only code currently supported is the test code on the product listing.
Harry: what board are you selecting in Arduino? (I think you need to select Uno)
