Arduimu V3 - How???

Projects General Guidance

Hello fellow programmers!

I require your expertise in this.

I am new in using the Arduimu V3 and currently am trying to attach it to a plane model and show the various headings and position of the plane on a virtual display (artificial horizon) on a computer.

Currently, after loading the standard Arduimu program provided to the imu, the readings can be displayed on the serial monitor of the arduino program. However, I cannot get it to work with a java program and the serial port just won't open with the java program to display the reading on the artificial horizon.

Hope i have provided enough information to state my problem and hope for any assistance.

Thank You

Did you leave serial monitor open when you tried to connect with the other program? That will keep other programs from using it.

Otherwise, it sounds like a problem with that other program?

Perhaps the port is busy because the IDE is using it. Perhaps the Java code is selecting the wrong port. Somewhere there should be a message in a log file telling you why the Java program could not open the serial port. Find that message for a hint about what has gone wrong.
