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!

Hein, the new shield doesn't contain a magnetometer onboard.
You can see the details here: http://diydrones.com/profiles/blogs/ardupilot-mega-updates-updates
Does this new shield also include 3 x magnetometer? What other sensors? I think color blue makes sense. Telemetry green and control boards - red. Nice project.

I can't wait to try one out!
This is a sensor board for ArduPilot Mega. ArduPilot Mega is this communities next generation autopilot and is based on the Arduino Mega with the 1280 processor. The main board handles the interface with the r/c receiver and servos and has the main processor. The "shield" or "oil pan" includes all the sensors - gyros, accelerometers, pressure sensor, etc.
AeroQuad could possibly be ported to it. I don't know anything about AeroQuad so someone else will have to answer if this can be done. We are developing firmware for fixed wing aircraft at present.

@Jordi: OK, man! In fact, I wanna buy it from DiyDrones. I will appreciate if that new way give to us more options about some shipment details. There are a particular resource at the Sparkfun's form that make things much more easy to people like me, outside the EUA. Many times I wanted to buy from you, but I opted for their store because of that little drop-down field.
