    Any peeks at the shield(s)?

    customs may detain the package easily if the drone photo is there.

    Mike,

    They will both be evolutions from the current programs.

    Any idea as to what the ground station/ configuration tool might look like? Will it look and work like the current Ardupilot Configuration Tool?

    Mike, we haven't announced a sale date or price yet. Depends on how beta testing goes and what our partner thinks. But we're shooting for an autopilot+IMU combo of around $150-$160, although it might be a bit more. One way or another, it will be about the same price as the current ArduPilot+sensors+shield. With uBlox GPS, you'd be looking at about $250 all told. That's about 1/10th the price of competing commercial autopilots.

    We're looking to launch in Q1.

    NS Rana, no, I don't know why why shouldn't have a drawing of a NASA-style drone on the bottom. Why not?

    Looks sweet! Which begs the question, when is it availible to the masses? Can't wait to get one. Also, what is the expected price?

    Pl. request Sparkfun to remove the photo of the drone from the bottom screen film of the board and let it be just Sparkfun there.I think you can understand your self why I am saying this !
