ArduIMU vs UAVDevBoard

Can anyone describe the differences between the AdruIMU and UAVDevBoard in terms of capabilities? I would like to get started with UAVs and I want to use an IMU based system. They both have a full six dof? Why did I read the ArduIMU uses gps for yaw?I found good documentation for the theory of operation behind the UAVDevBoard but haven't found similar for the ArduIMU.Thanks

    You are comparing the wrong items... I assume you mean the ArduPilot NOT the ArduIMU?

    UAVDevBoard is a full autopilot. ArduIMU is just an IMU/AHRS, and needs to work with an autopilot to control a plane.

    Both are GPS-assisted 6DoFs, and they use similar sensors and DCM code.

    If you want an open-source IMU-based autopilot now, UAVDevBoard is your only choice. But over the next few months, ArduPilot Mega will come out and that will incorporate ArduIMU in a full autopilot solution.
