In the Artificial horizon some axis are moving but the aeroquad is totally still. #117

This problem happens with version 2.4 of AeroQuad and not to the 2.1. 

The versions I'm using are:
 - Windows XP
 - AeroQuadConfigurator v2.7.1
 - The sensors of my aeroquad are the original IMU 5DOF and IXZ-500.
 - Arduino Duemilanove
 - The configuration on both versions (2.1 and 2.4) are
    . #define AeroQuad_v1 
    . #define plusConfig

The behavior of the version 2.1 is:

In the aeroQuadConfigurator I open "sensor calibration". In this window I 
select "shield version" = v1.7 that have AREF=3.00, and press the button 
"Calibrate Level" and then the 'artificial horizon' window look like the 
settings are correct, the aeroquad is completely still and all good. If I 
choose "shield version" = 2.0 or "shield version" = custom and AREF=2.80 the 
operation of the 'artificial horizon' is always correct, showing errors up to 
0.2 of pitch.

The behavior of the version 2.4 is:
In the aeroQuadConfigurator I open "sensor calibration". In this window I 
select "shield version" = v1.7 that have AREF=3.00, and press the button 
"Calibrate Level" and then I see 'artificial horizon' with values ​​begin 
to grow and grow, the value of pitch in one minute can be 2.0 or 3.0 more. And 
it keeps growing. I attach a screenshot with my aeroquad totally still. 
I go back to try to calibrate the sensors, if I choose "shield version" = 2.0 
or "shield version" = custom and AREF=2.80 the operation of the 'artificial 
horizon' is always wrong, showing errors in only one or two minutes of 3.7 of 
pitch. Furthermore, after doing a calibration is necessary to close 
AeroQuadConfigurator to see the effects.

One thing I find curious is that the version AeroQuadConfigurator_v2.3.1 when I 
select "shield version" = 1.7 the value of AREF is 2.8 V and the current 
version offers 3.00 V.

In summary, with version 2.4, unlike the version 2.1, in the window 'horizon 
arfifical' the sensors values ​​move alone without any kind of movement in 
the aeroquad.
