trying to run the 10 DOF board
downloaded the Adafruit _BMP085_Unified-master,Adafruit_L3GD20U-master,Adafruit_LSM303DLHC-master, and Adafruit_Sensor-master folders from Github.
We put these in a folder named Adafruit Libraries on the desktop in Windows 7
the Arduino software doesn't like the underscores in the file names.
This is as far as we have gotten
ADK and GPS logger shield

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
Please review our tutorial on the proper installation of Arduino lIbraries
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-all ... nstall-use
Rename the folders as follows
Adafruit_10DOF
Adafruit_BMP085
Adafruit_L3GD20_U
Adafruit_LSM303DLHC
Adafruit_Sensor
There is a zip file in the tutorial which contains all of these libraries.

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
apparently when I downloaded from github it automatically installed the files into the correct library automatically, but did not remove the -master portion from the files. We removed the -master and now do not get the naming error. I s there a sketch available to copy /paste like the gps on you provided?

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
In the Arduino Examples menu, there should be example sketches under all of the individual libraries, including under the Adafruit_10DOF library.

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
uploaded the pitchrollheading sketch from the example
now where do we go to see the output?

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
The output doesn't show up in Serial Monitor? Do you have the matching baud rate set in Serial Monitor?

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
we tried every combination of baud rate and cr/newline settings

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
It should be set to 115200, the same as it is set in the Serial.begin line of the pitchrollheading sketch.

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
baud set to 115200
still no output on com port
is there any sort of diagnostics we can run?

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
This is the same COM port you program the Mega with, right? I don't see how it's possible for you to not get any output on the same port.
Do you see the TX LED flashing on the Mega?
What happens if you press the reset button?

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
same port
no tx flashing
nothing happens during reset except the pin 13 led goes off when releasing the reset button
tried to upload the blink sketch which worked before now it seems not to blink led 13
Do sketches stay in the adk when removing power?
or do you need to load a sketch every time its powered on?

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
Sketches are loaded into flash memory. They stay there even when power is removed.
It kind of sounds like something has failed on your Mega. Try it with the GPS and 10DOF removed.

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
yes tried the blink sketch with just the bare adk board
no shields
no blink
how do we clear the flash memory?

Re: ADK and GPS logger shield
You don't clear it. You just download a new sketch.
