Hi,

I purchased the Ardupilot Mega and a bunch of components for a UAV project on my Easystar.  The problem I am running into is that the components require 3.3v.  I don't see any source coming from the Ardupilot Mega that can provide the 3.3v yet I keep reading hints that there is some solder jumper that will make the unit provide 3.3v instead of 5v.  I do not know if that is true however.

In the mean time I am kind of stuck because I really need a stable regulated 3.3v for my 6DOF, Magnatometer and GPS,

I realise that I could just place a resister on the 5v out to provide around 3.3v but not sure how clean that would be.

What are you guys doing to provide a clean 3.3v to your components?

Also, would it be possible that I could get a Beta copy of the mega's manual? 

Thanks!
