    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 !

    Thanks Chris, It was the SPI label that threw me.

    Nice. Can't wait until it's available for purchase. Which IMU will be used with this? Sparkfun ArduIMU Sensor w/ daughter boards or the ArduIMU+ V2 (Flat)?

    Marty,

    Just to answer your question more completely, there are two ICSP/SPI ports, one on the top left in that picture for the Atmega328 (RC interface) and the other at the top right for the Atmega1280.

    Yes, there will be a Mega-specific IMU, but we'll also release an adapter board that will let you use the current ArduIMU+ (v2)

    you guys are planning on making a mega specific IMU, right?

    I like the idea of easy two-way serial comm.

    Looks great to see it all coming together.

    What are the dimensions?

    Marty, the ICSP head is in the top left, next to the mounting hole

    Good looking stuff. Thank you folks so much for showing us the sneak peeks, and the works in progress. It's one of the reasons I'm really dedicated to this architecture.
