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.)

    Harry, what do you mean? You shouldn't have had to pay a penny to have the bootloader reflashed. Please PM so we can clear this up.

    re: whoami. I guess the mpu6000 might be totalled but that would show that some extra protection is required in the hardware design. The arduino chip and the mag are still working.

    Try a clean start by pluging usb into pc and without touching the board.

    Are you sure you have not altered the test code?

    it's interesting that you get that because I got all zeros sometimes when i tested the board. It was only sometimes and worked after a reset. Have you reset the board by removing the power? Not got a solder short? Not holding the board by any of the pins when it starts?

    If I remember right the pitch and roll are in degrees -180 to +180 but I might be wrong. It is documented somewhere but I haven't got a month spare to hunt through the wiki :) Even then it might be out of date.

    I'll remind myself of the v2 code and add a note over the weekend

    @Harry Yes I think a few people will produce some code over the coming weeks. To do the job properly and neatly will take longer than a quick hack because it can be adopted for the ap core. That way any changes will be carried through to new ap versions.

    @Eric, good post you actually beat us to it! I'm adding a tutorial that we drafted for anyone out there working on their arduimus, glad we could help out!

    @Gerry Those gyros are very accurate. We are preparing an example code that includes sensor fusion. Mag data is fused outside...

  • Gerry Lichter December 3, 2011 at 6:38pm

    To clarify, as shipped, are these IMU's presently outputting "Sensor Fused" data? Looking at the output, both the accelerometer and gyro are incredibly stable, but the magnetometer is willing to drift when subjected to interference.

    It seems like the magnetometer should share in the stability if it were fusing data with gyro output?

    Well we have ArduPilotMega 2.0 now... ;-) https://store.diydrones.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BR-ArduP...
