			This controller is one of the more advanced at the time of writing and performs quite well, the competition being OpenPilot's CopterControl 3D. It includes a controller, gyroscope, accelerometer and barometer. To configure the controller, a separate VU device is connected via USB and the software talks directly to the unit. The software is Windows only, but with VMWare Fusion it is possible to connect to it using a Mac.
