ArduIMU V3 ready for pre-order and check our new color!

Posted by Jordi Muñoz on November 15, 2011 at 5:30pm

3689432775?profile=originalHi 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.)

    Final update on boot loader. I've had an email from 3dr store saying that they burn the boot loader for the "Arduino Pro Mini".

    So to recap... We can burn the "Arduino Pro Mini" boot loader using arduino ide and an avr programer. The arduino ide sets the correct fises and/or bits

    Harry, that's right the correct baud is 115200... What are you see there is the testing code we use to verify the sensors....

    okay so we got an answer from chris. yes arduino ide is okay to use for burning of the boot loader. no need to worry about bits and fuses. this means that visual studio users can also burn the boot loader using the tools menu

    Thanks Harry that is good to know. Hopefully we can also get confirmation that we can use the arduino ide tools which would make life even easier.

    @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... ;-)

    @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!

    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.
