Hello!
My name is André Marques i live in Portugal and i need some help!
I have a sort of project going on and i need what i think is an IMU shield and some sensors to acquire data from an aircraft.
I want to acquire in real time this
Position from GPS
Altitude form GPS
Aircraft atitude (Roll, yaw and pitch)
G load
Heading
Pressure inside and outside the aircraft if possible
Absolute altitude if possible
Temperature inside and outside the aircraft if possible
Humidity inside and outside the aircraft if possible
My goal is to connect the IMU Shield to an Laptop and read in real time all this parameters, i was browsing your blog and i encounter "APM Planner 1.0" and this is the kind of software i would like to have, i don't need any autopilot or any kind of control, my only goal is to visualize and record in real time the various parameters i mention above.
What sort of IMU Shield should i buy? Can i connect to an IMU Shield all the sensors i need? Can i use the APM Planner 1.0 to visualize in a friendly user way this parameters? Are there any other software the i can use?
Best Regards

Go with Ardupilot Mega Purple (APM2) (comes with GPS&Compass on board)

(Im not 100% sure if you can or cannot use the ArduIMU+ V3, I know you can use the APM2.)
Additional stuff needed:

Xbee telemetry kit: https://store.diydrones.com/Xbee_Telemetry_kit_p/kt-telemetry-xbee.htm
Absolute pressure & temperature sensor: https://store.diydrones.com/product_p/br-0011-01.htm
Humidity sensor: http://www.sparkfun.com/products/9890
That should get you started, if not finished ;)
