I picked up a Crazyflie at Maker Faire from Seeed, and the box said 10 DOF.
However, I notice that on the PCB the footprint for the compass and barometer seem to be empty. (See photo)
Is this right, or are these instruments actually somewhere else on the board?
The original image is at
http://www.villamil.org/images/crazyfli ... onfirm.JPG so you can confirm what the box says.
Thanks!

You must be looking in the wrong area.
I see both parts.
The silver can at the bottom left (barometer)
The square black IC at top left (compass)

I am sure you have a 10DOF version. You can also check out the LOG in the client, it will give you "OK" for the sensors.

OK, thanks everybody, that is reassuring!
Are the two additional sensors supported already in the client & firmware, or is it an opportunity for development?

Their not supported in the official releases yet, but people have begun developing forks of the code that do.
You can search the forum or check out the
repo for the code.
