MIOS: Multi-Copter I/O Shield for the Arduino Due

  As I previewed in my last post,  I am making an shield to fit the Arduino Due that will simplify connecting the RC reciever, motor ESC, and I/O for sensor communication.  The PCB's for the shield came this week and below are pictures and some explanations.

  It's been a while since I posted last, so here's a quick one for me to tell about where my quadcopter is and introduce my next project.

  My current quadcopter is flying well.  It has proved quite durable as I started at zero with 'copter flying experience and this one has shrugged off most of my silly mistakes.  I have a lot to learn, but it has been a great learning tool so far.

  Now on to my next adventure.  Arduino announced about a month ago that they were coming our with a 32 bit ARM based board called the "Due" that would be roughly code compatible with the 8bit processors.
