Rafael Mendy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post How do modern open source autopilots compare to aerospace-grade IMUs?
"@ Tom Jakel, Anyway, the price for such room temperature performance ( second table of datasheet ) is very high. I think the datasheet must show the advantages. Maybe if other manufacturers indicate their performance in full temperature range,…"

Rafael Mendy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post How do modern open source autopilots compare to aerospace-grade IMUs?
"@Thomas, I think HG1120 is not an AHRS but an IMU unit. it means that it's output is not Attitude data but raw or processed data of angular rates and accelerations ( most processed outputs are delta angular rates and accelerations )
As i said…"

"So
I'm confused after seeing the specification of Honeywell HG1120. The question is that what is the real advantage of this expensive imu with respect to many other much cheaper alternatives? nether ARW nor in-run bias stability are comparable to…"

"Hi Andre
Any progress in useing LB2 with pixhawk?
are other rc channels accessible somewhere? ANDRE Pierre said:
Hi, i got a LB2 and i've question.
I would like to use it on a plane with a pixhawk inside.
Actually it's working fine with the SBUS…"

Rafael Mendy commented on Tersus GNSS's blog post GNSS-Aided Inertial Navigation System
"If the gyro specs ( 1 deg/hr bias instability ) was true, the price is not high. however, it's a little weird for a not well-known ins manufacturer. usually these specs is for tactical grade ins and almost all of them with fog based gyros. "

Rafael Mendy commented on Chris Anderson's blog post How do modern open source autopilots compare to aerospace-grade IMUs?
"Hi
I want to add this point that rich community of diy autopilots and their active contribution is a great advantage that i think really challenge the superiority of closed source products even by big manufacturers.
For instance, i have a MTI3 AHRS…"

Rafael Mendy commented on YC's blog post RTK GNSS module build
"Hi
I see ublox-m8N. I thought that this version does not have raw gps data that one need for rtklib calculations.
Reach, uses M8t. Am i right?"

HiIt's My first question here. So excuse me for any problem in the post.I have a ms5611 barometer that installed on a GY-86 breakout module.in order to understand the accuracy of the sensor, I log several minutes reading of it in a fixed place with…
