Description:
There are now many many sensors drivers available in ArduPilot. e.g Compasses:

It would be nice to get some comparative testing, maybe a ArduPilot Test target, which can also test out the drivers. Speed Accuracy, price, ease of use or whatever else etc This is also an opportunity for someone to learn more about the ArduPilot hal / driver layer

Ideally also a unit test framework that involves actually running the hardware and verifying semantics e.g via uart or debugging port

Planned amount $$ (USD):
Most of these sensors are available on ebay etc, so maybe $200 to cover the cost of materials etc

Estimated time for completion:
