Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Umarim IMU Issue

[David Conger]

Hi Craig,
Where did you get it? 
I ask because I own PPZUAV and I have found all of the ITG3200 are having 
issues. It is due to assembly (MyroPCB.com). They claim they followed the exact 
reflow guidelines I can't explain how all 100 units the itg3200 either works as 
you mention or just doesn't work at all. To be safe I'm replacing the gyro on 
all of the boards even though they are new. 
If you purchased from PPZUAV write an email to address@hidden ASAP so you can 
get it replaced.
