IMU production back up to full speed

Posted by Chris Anderson on October 1, 2010 at 6:00pm
The new pick-and-place machine at the DIY Drones factory is now in full production, and we're filling boxes like this with the IMU shields in preparation for the ArduCopter commercial launch and APM public beta code (the code will probably go live tonight). Right now we can make about 120 boards a day, and can ramp up to 150/day if needed. Right now we're filling back orders, but it should be back in stock next week.

Look for pricing and pre-order plans for ArduCopter over the next week. This is going to be big!

    Chris, nice to see your production ramping up but use ESD save transport boxes, to me it don't looks as a ESD save box were you put the IMU in ;-)

    I can confirm that local orders from DIYD arrive FAST.. like next-day fast. That's faster than I can make it to the LHS. :)

    I've already earmarked cash for the ArduCopter pre-order.

    Kenny, I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean backorders? The IMU will be back in stock at the link in the post above next week.

    Following up, are you taking up orders at diydrones store online? I couldn't find anything.

    Bill, we're not set up for visits yet. It will be faster to mail it to you.
