Logomatic v2 problems

Hello all,

I’m having a few problems with the Logomatic v2. Here is what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to dump the ASCII data from a Atomic IMU 6 Degrees of Freedom - XBee Ready (From SparkFun) to the logomatic’s SD card. I’ve tried to make a direct connection from the IMU to the Logomatic through the a ADC port. I’ve also tried sending a print out of code from a Arduino Pro Mini 168 - 3.3V/8MHz to the logomatic.

I am not sure what mode the logomatic should be on. I’ve set the baud rate equal to the other component. Any Information would be excellent.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

Woehrle, if you have an LCD attached to the V2, are you able to take data in from the IMU and display it on an LCD first? Could make it alot easier to debug.

I’ve gotten the IMU to display data on my terminal window, but I’ve yet to get anything useful written to the data logger. An Idea we got was to send the logger some voltages and see if it records it (idea given by my mentor). I’ll post my progress. My teammates and I might just have to recode it. I was just hoping I could have the default settings just dump the IMU data straight to the SD.

Thanks Ozzyace,

I found the ‘alternative code’ at http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc … ts_id=8627 works well. Good luck

I’ll have to give that code a try on monday.

Once again thanks Ozzyace.

Well, I found out the problem with my set up. Turns out that the IMU’s baud rate is too fast for the logomatic v2. So, the plan is to change the IMU’s baud rate by changing its firmware.
