Can I run example code to test Navio2 sensors before quad build?

I found a post that seems to have the same issue:

Problems with the IMU and the examples (Navio2)

Hi I’m new with Navio and I’ve just bought it for a University project about the programming of an autonomous quad. But I’ve been having problems since the beginning. Specially with the IMU. I’ve followed the first steps on the documentation and I’ve tried some of the first examples that are on the documentation and the only that seems to work is the LED (C++ version, but not the python). If I run the AccelGyroMag with C++, it just says sensor not enabled. If I run it with Python it says…

The issue might be not in the power supply itself, but in a poor usb cable. You can check actual voltage on the board by running this command: cat /sys/kernel/rcio/adc/ch0 If it is under 4.8V you have power supply issues.

I understand now that the python examples aren’t working.

I tried the cat /sys/kernel/rcio/adc/ch0 command and have consistent readings over 5.2v using a 5V 2A power supply with nothing but a wireless dongle attached.

I was also able to run the C++ example ADC

Still getting same results when trying to run AccelGyroMag.
