if this is the one that will be used for the ardupilot then its great that it will be at sparkfun so we can grab it cheaper on free day. Oh but it is 3.3v ftdi.

No, it is NOT the one that will be used with ArduPilot! Ours has GPS build in and is designed to plug right into the ArduPilot Mega board. This one can be made to work with ArduPilot, but that is not is the primary use.

maybe i should keep my mouth shut until the write up on ardumega comes out, which i hope will be soon.

This is looking very neat :) I'll be ordering a couple. I almost ordered two 6dof Atomic IMUs and then I saw these. Same price, smaller, lighter and with a magneto onboard that would cost me 50 bucks extra otherwise.

Great job.

Great achievment. Let's hope the magnetometer is not to sensitive to electric motor induction. If not, this is wooo hooo.

Correction the board will have 8Mhz (Arduino compatible too), I asked Nathan to change it for better performance at 3.3V.

Did i read that right? GPS built into ardupilot? oh no, after i already bought the ublox! i hoped that gps would be something that was user controlled not factory implemented.

3D Robotics Comment by Jordi Muñoz on December 31, 2009 at 3:09pm

-->NO<--, the GPS will not be integrated on the Ardupilot board, it will use uBlox as the ardupilot v1... Sorry for the confusion.

Wow!! Forget the IMU, I want to know more about the new dimensions that have been discovered!!

3D Robotics Comment by Chris Anderson on December 31, 2009 at 5:10pm

Caleb, GPS *connector* built into ArduPilot Mega's IMU, with GPS data integrated into its code. We'll be using the exact same uBlox you bought.
