Quick Post: ArduPilotMega Shield/OilPan Photos!

Posted by Jordi Muñoz on May 16, 2010 at 10:30am

Is not ready yet, has tiny mistakes, but the tweaked boards is under the last hardware performance test's , as soon as i get an answer, I will start the mass production... ETA two weeks! (Maybe sooner).

The shield can be bottom placed (oil pan) or in the top (Shield). I would suggest the bottom side so you protect the IC's and have a lower profile!

Poll: Do you prefer the Shield in Red or Blue?

See ya!

    my understanding is the oilpan/shield will be at the diydrones store only.

    The ArduMega is sold at sparkfun (as you probably know).

    will the shield be listed on diydrones store, or sparkfun?

    Gerry,
    Even if V2 is not officially supported by ArduPilotMega dev team, you will still be able to use it with some modifications. I will help with this as I have created a custom ArduIMU v1.5 that mimics v2. I will port it to Mega soon after it is released. Earl is currently remapping I/O and com ports, he may have a working demo?

    Just use the ardupilot first, you can always switch to ardumega later, and try to sell the ardupilot equipment.. but it seems like it will still be a while..

    Chris,
    I was hoping there was a bright side to the situation.

    Thanks.
