The ardupilot software is almost done by the code, there are existing support for MPU6050, MS5611, HMC5883L and Ublox serial GNSS. What I did was to add a new “board” in the build system of ardupilot, specify the drivers the prototype that depends on.
After clean the code, and make a “decent” board, I guess we can merge the source code into upstream, so we could announce the official support of ardupilot.
Prototype with GPS
Bought a Ublox NEO 6 GPS, so it could switch to almost all the ardupilot flight modes. Loiter mode looks quite stable in the wind.

Flying loiter mode for a while, switch to RTL, more than expected!
