Hi Bob,
Other configs feature no more IRs but a simple Sparkfun IMU named SEN-10121,
consisting of a combo of ITG3200 and ADXL345.
Dont know which one to choose for my first setup with a YAPA2...
In my case the IMU was already on board of the autopilot and
everything worked right away(*). But if I would buy one I would
just pick one that appears well documented (
in the wiki
& mailing list). If you plan to potentially use it for a
multicopter as well I would pick one that also comes with a
magnetometer. If an IMU has a (supported) driver, it should be
possible to combine it with any autopilot. Don't worry if you
don't find a config sample that doesn't feature your hardware. The
sample configuration files are just that: Samples.
