ArduPilot Mega IMUs in production!
Jordi now has a cool new pick-and-place machine, which will let us massively increase our production of boards. This video shows the first ArduPilot Mega IMU shields coming off the production line! Shipments went out to the dev team today, and pre-order customers should start getting theirs later this week.

OTS. It's a new commercial unit. Jordi's been getting training for the past month...
We're a pro electronics manufacturing factory now!

That is so awesome! How much does that go for? And does it use image processing for placement?

These guys have put some much time not to mention their own money into this and people keep complaining re the price?? Thanks for all of your efforts and constant support 24 7 I personal think the charges are ridiculously low considering all things.

Very impressive, Jordi your running with the big dawgs! I bet you had a blast at factory training...
Now you will need a packing/shipping robot to handle all the orders!!
