Adding magnetometer and altimeter?

Hi there,

I hastily ordered some crazyflie quads, without thinking about how I probably did actually want the magnetometer and altimeter sensors on there.
Can these sensors just be soldered to the board of a "6 DOF" Crazyflie? I do have a full surface mount station here.
Will the firmware require an update?

Thanks,
Andrew

The barometer should be fairly simple to add afterwards but the magnetometer is a bit more difficult and you would need a hot air station or similar. If you only add the barometer you will have to disable the test which checks that both sensors are there. Other then that it should work.
