Hi David,
it seem to be a race condition on the boot/SDA1 wire ?
Can it bee that the inside bootlader is running?
Can you flash  the normal program code over UART ?
Can you make a reset after power up?

Regards

Hello Paparazzi,

I have assembled by hand a Umarim for testing. Using PCBs from the Gerbers posted on the Wiki. Despite the comment left I was able to solder by hand the ITG3200 without issue. I have heard others doing the same without issues (FWIW). 

I made a programming cable and bind plug following the WIki notes. It accepted the boot loader just like TWOG, Tiny, YAPA2. I then made a USB program cable again following notes from the Wiki. It accepted my airframe code and I got blinking LED. 

Now for the interesting parts. When I used only a cable from my FTDI utility board (equivalent would be the FTDI->serial cable) I was able to launch GCS and verify in messages all sensors were working. 
  




However, when I connected a Paparazzi GPS13 board to the UART0 connector per the Wiki the GCS was blank. I see this message in 'dmesg' output: "[171004.996161] ttyUSB0: 1 input overrun(s)". The way to restore normal communications was not a reset. All attempts and permutations of reprogramming (USB) and power off/on failed to restore serial communications. I then re-upload the bootldr and then another program to restore communications. I also had to connect the FTDI board to UART1 after power up of the Umarim. In other words if anything was connected to the Umarim at power up serial communications fail. If I connected UART1 (serial comm) and GPS UART0 after power up it was fine. Is there any comments how to test and see what the issue is? Why Umarim must have nothing connected to UART0/UART1 when powering up? The screen shot above was take when powered this way. Power up, then attach serial converter to UART1 and launch GCS. Umarim is flat so the PFD is correct. The plot shows my moving the Umarim at many orientations to make the plot more interesting. The baro I don't understand but maybe it's because I use the wrong definition for the baro in the airframe file. I'm using: <load name="airspeed_ads1114.xml"/>. Regards, David Conger
