Project | Status |
---|---|
ArduPilot Mega hardware | In production at Sparkfun. Should be out within the month |
ArduPilot software | 2.5.04 is stable and very good with thermopiles. 2.5.1 working well with ArduIMU. Doug Wiebel and Jason Short are working on integrating the two into a single 2.6 release |
ArduPilot Mega software | Should be a pretty easy port from ArduPilot 2.6, but waiting for final hardware |
ArduPilot Mega IMU shield | Finished. Going into production at DIY Drones HQ this month |
Ground station software | Automatik is working on improvements to current version, but major rewrite planned for Mega. Decision still coming on which programming language |
ArduStation Mega | Specs and schematic done. Waiting for PCB layout/fabbing |
Turn-rate limiter autopilot | This is the cheap, small, easy gyro based autopilot with built-in GPS. Designed for beginners. PCB done. Now debating whether to add full IMU |
Documentation | Always a work in progress, but the ArduPilot migration to the wiki is complete |

Really looking forward to the release of the ArduPilot Mega with IMU - will be buying some of the production ones as well once they are released.
@Roger. We'll explain the few differences (and what to do about them) when the production board is released.
@Richard - do a search. There is a thread with all the components....
this could be a good idea for a very cheap autopilot.
