SPI support for MPU6000 IMU

Post by dibelardino »

Hallo to everybody, I'm new to the forum and I introduce myself.
I'm an Italian pilot and flight instructor, in my flight school I run some didactical activities about software and hardware design.
One of the next project is a quadricopter based on an Arduino mini.
Coming from a previous autopilot project I have an ARDUIMU V3 based on a MPU6000 chip Spi connected that I would like to use with the MultiWii software.
I would use the ARDUIMU directly connecting the MPU6000 to the Arduino mini bypassing the ARDUIMU processor
For what I understand looking around in the forum the MultiWii software doesn't support Spi communications.
Is that true?
I read something in the forum about people modifying the software in order to use Spi IMUs, but I didn't find it implemented.
Can anybody help me?

correct, current MWii does not support SPI.
correct, we are interested in optional SPI support.

If you want to pursue implementation of SPI support, please no 3rd party fat libraries.

If MWii supported SPI, MWC would run on APM hardware. That would be a blessing.
