Re: [Paparazzi-devel] ArduIMU on Wiki

[David Conger]

Awesome, thank you for clarifying. The Tiny211 I was not seeing GPS info but I 
was also indoors so I will try closer to a window. The TWOG I will connect a 
Paparazzi GPS to it. 

Do you think the delay in the GCS display for attitude is normal? I guess I'll 
soon find out. I'm trying hard to get this into a FunJet or Merlin. Prefer the 
Merlin but there is so little room in there.
