This is the new ArduPilotMega IMU Shield! This board features a large array of sensors needed for UAV and Robotics applications, including three axis angular rotation and accelerations sensors, absolute pressure and temperature sensor, 16MBits data logger chip and more! It's designed to fit on top (or bottom) of the
ArduPilot Mega board, creating a total autopilot solution when a GPS module is attached.
Note: This product INCLUDES all the pin headers needed...
Features:
-Dual 3.3V Regulator!!! (One dedicated for analog sensors!)
-Relay switch for cameras, lights or payloads (WOW!)
-12-bit
ADC for better Gyro/Accel/AirSpeed resolution. (YEAH!)
-Built-in 16MB Data Logger (The Black Box).
-Piano DIP switch
for servo reverse or user customizable.
-Built-in FTDI, making the board native USB.
-Dedicated
Modem/OSD port.

-Two user-programmable buttons (one
momentary, the other slide).
-10-Bit analog expansion ports.
-Reset button.
-Built-in voltage dividers to measure aircraft battery voltage, down to the individual cell. Includes 4 3.9k resistors that you can solder in to measure standard LiPo battery packs.
-Tons of Status LEDs.
-New vibration resistance Invensense Gyros (Triple Axis).
-Analog Devices ADX330 Accelerometer.
-AirSpeed sensor port (optional, sold separately).
-Absolute Bosch pressure sensor and temp for accurate altitude
(Yes you can use your shield as a Weather Logger too!).
-Weight (no pins): 0.5 oz; 13 g
