Adding additional sensors on ArduPilot Mega IMU

Hello folks, its me again.

Hopefully I am right for asking this question here !! I want to buy a complete sensor platform. That means an IMU like the ArduPilot Mega IMU. All things like Accelerometer, Gyros, pressure sensor is included.
Then I would prefer to add a magnetometer (like HMC5843 Triple Axis Magnetometer), AirSpeed (like sensor MPXV7002DP) and GPS (like GS407 U-Blox5 GPS 4Hz).

Is it possible to connect all of this to the ArduPilot Mega IMU and program that little thing with Arduino Processing IDE?

I think the ArduIMU+ would not be helpful to collect all this data. Is it right?

Thanks

KAi

Yes, that's exactly what ArduPilot Mega does. Just get the APM board, the IMU and those sensors and the code will collect/read all the data. It's all programmable with Arduino. See the "Optional Additions" part of the manual for instructions on how to add the extra sensors.

ArduIMU doesn't have spare ports for the extra sensors.
