Gyro Vs. Accelerometer for "Quads"

I build my quadcopter from scratch....Used Arduino Mega on board and Uno for RC with HMTR for transmission.

Now, during flight, I got to realize that to maintain stability, IMU sensors such as gyrosensor and accelormeter are the most...

So, if have to choose between these two sensors, which one is the most to control its stability to hover, and how it can be interfaced!

Need fast and better suggestions as being a dummy...

Thanks, all

  • You really can't do it well with one or the other... You need both.  The price of a 9 DOF board is seriously cheap and you would be silly if you didn't just buy one off the shelf.  There are several varieties with differing resolutions, chips, and price.  Pick one and go with it.  I'm looking at a few that are less than $40 USD.
