Hello everybody. I have some news here:

1.-The shipping system right now is a nightmare for everybody (including me). Finally i found a good solution that will let me ship overseas for less than 5 dlls (under 4 oz). Yes i will accept First Class Mail soon, YEAHHH!!! It will be ready in two weeks.
2.- The Infrared boards arrived, but i still waiting for some components in order to start the fabrication. Please be patient.
3.- I ran out of ArduShield Kits!!!! Guys.. Let me breath! Tomorrow the new parts should arrive, sorry about that.

Now lets talk about the new products:

Ok ArduStation is now stocked, so you can order today and i will ship the same day (before 3pm California, Sun, Beach, Pacific time or 10pm Zulu time). You can buy it here.


As i already mentioned this in another post, I'm about to release the new ArduLogger in collaboration with Raúl Helvia and Eduardo Garcia (the Satellite guy) from Spain. Its an Atmega328@8Mhz and you can use it to data log the 6 analogs channels or data coming from the serial port:

(If you look carefully the picture, you will see my new Open Source ServoSwitch).

And yeah! I finally entered to the gyro market. My goal is to one day offer everything you will need to build your own UAV and have an old school slogan like: "The official UAV store" or maybe "Satisfying all your UAV needs since 2009", LOL:


I'm offering right now the smallest LISY300AL breakout board. Same price as SparkFun and free shipping world wide (web?):


And for limited time i will offer the ultimate 6 degrees of freedom, super tiny IMU that can be adapted to your system very easily:

(Ardupilot just as size reference). Featuring the ADXL330 3g accelerometer and the famous LISY300AL with 300deg/sec. The best part is that you can upgrade it. You can choose between 4, 5 and 6 degrees of freedom by just soldering the gyros you need (without buffering underrun your Paypal account) and because the main board is vertical you can solder it to your current home made autopilot PCB or even in a breadboard!

This pic shows with arrows the gyros you will need depending the configuration you may want:


Another pic of the back:


You can buy the IMU here, and you can buy the extra gyros from here.

Looks like a nice little IMU. When will the 'motheboard' coming back in stock?

Also, is that silk screen wrong? The top line reads

ST, OUT, NA, GND, 3.3V

The left line reads (rotated):

ST, NA, OUT, GND, 3.3V

???

Jordi,
just ordered a set of your new tiny IMU. Do you think that this little thingy is also usable together with a future ArduPilot ?

is this to replace the FMA XY and Z sensors?

the labels are correct :( There you supose to solder the optional gyros to expand it. ;-)

This IMU is nothing related with ardupilot. Is just a normal gyro/imu breakout solution. I May use it to develop the ardupilot IMU code, but the board will be diferent.

Yesterday Attopilot said you guys are producing X,Y sand Z sensors. Where and when can I buy a pair--of Sensors?

Ron Carter, can you please read this post? I already answer that question. Bill said that? Can you ask Bill when is going to send me the Gerber files in order to make the stencils and produce the IR sensors?

When they become available everybody will know.

Thanks for the clarification Jordi-
I am new to this site and AP's in general. Thanks for putting up with us beginners. I have bought the ArduPilot controller and am just trying to acquire all the parts required to build an operating system as laid out on your site. Since I have no idea of the demand for these devices (the XYZ sensors) I just want to get in line for them when they become available. BTW- Congratulations on your success!
