Thanks for the email, replied with required info.

 

Wow, things have moved on.....

 

GCS/Planner is something else! makes mine look like a toy! so congrats on that also. Is the Planner open cource?

 

I have some thoughts, that may add to the project, and please, im not detracting from what is obviously an amazing leap forward. just things that might be a good addition. Happy to impliment them myself. (if i can find out what its written in and if its open?)

 

All in one solution...so.....no playing with teh .h's in the IDE anymore? the worlds changed on me! lol

 

Thank you on the updates about the shield boards, was worried about that.

 

Looking forward to getting stuck in again.

 

Mike.

Yes, everything we do is open source. Here's the Mission Planner source:
http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/source/browse/#svn%2FTools%...

It's written in C++

No more IDE!

Thank you for that,

 

ok my next very noob question would be which enviroment was used to create it?

 

Visial C++, Dev c++?

 

This just makes it so much easier jump in at the same point as the developers.

 

Back to the IMU issue for the long term,

I have to agree, there still is huge possiblilty left in this little gem.

 

Not just as an AP addition, but we use it for many other applications.

 

I for one would be happy to get the IMU+ produced in batches of 10 or 20 maybe for those still wanting to play/develop.

 

This of course, we would need clearance from the Geniui that created it in the first place (Jordi/chris) and of course the component/board files.

 

Thoughts?

Hi Mike,

 

the mission planner is written in c# with visual C# 2010 express, which is free.

Mike, you've crossposted, so I'll repeat my answer here: the ArduIMU Eagle files are available and licensed to allow free reuse, but the sensors are no longer manufactured.
