PLEASE NOTE:  Some platforms have a hard time displaying all the data from CHIMU at full speed.  You will get false checksum errors as a result, but the issue is in display handling and serial port handling on older machines.  If this is the case, turn the CHIMU serial port rate down (10 Hz for example) and / or turn off messages.
