Greeting diydrones,Before I'm buying the ArduIMU V3 I'd like to confirm a few things.I'm interested in connecting the ArduIMU V3 to another Arduino and having the second Arduino control a quadcopter…Continue

What needs to be changed in DCM's code if we want to use ArduIMU v3 without GPS.?"

Thank You..!"
Bim commented on Jonathan Arad's blog post New video - Caesarea Aqueduct"Funny to see the beach from the air after being there so many times.
Great video, enjoyed it."
Harry replied to Bim's discussion Can the ArduIMU V3 be used alone?"Hmmmm, I use the IMU with the Ardupilot for stabilization and it works. If it's ready almost immediately after powering it, then it hasnt calibrated. It takes a good 20 seconds for it to calibrate, with the red and…"
RobS replied to Bim's discussion Can the ArduIMU V3 be used alone?"Thanks for your help.
#define ENABLE_AIR_START 0 was already set.
I made other tries and drift is the same even after several minutes of test.
When I let the arduimu stable , drifts stops after about 30 seconds. Just a small motion and drifts come…"
Harry replied to Bim's discussion Can the ArduIMU V3 be used alone?"I have a feeling youre getting bad drift because you have it setup for airstart which just grabs what's in eeprom and if it's wrong it will drift all over. You can go in the code and where it determines whether a groundstart has been…"
RobS replied to Bim's discussion Can the ArduIMU V3 be used alone?"I just tested ArduIMU without GPS, to use it just for Heading, Pitch and Roll measurement.
Results are bad, with big drifts on all values , but specially on heading.
I use V1.9 software, I use magnetometer and speedfilt , setting #define…"

Bim replied to kupouc's discussion A Quadcopter with a smartphone on it"Android is not a real time operating system, it's not suitable for real time control.
You can use an APM or any other flight board(With it own's IMU, not the one on the android) to control the aircraft and have the android provide you with…"
Bim commented on Chris Anderson's blog post CanberraUAV (ArduPlane) wins Outback Challenge!"Congratulations!Were you allowed to use APM because you're a core developer or could other teams use it as well?"
Bim replied to ReneeLov3's discussion The Raspberry Pi Quad-FU Project"Looks really good! Would love to see videos.
I want to build a self balancing robot using the Raspberry Pi and having trouble with the sensors.Any chance you could shed some light on how exactly are you reading data from the sensors and actually…"
Bim replied to Jake Sorensen's discussion Help for a complete noobie"I would suggest hiring someone with a drone for you. Even if you get a drone that's good enough for your requirements and in your budget you'd still need to fly it pretty well to get film-worthy-recordings. This is not an easy task, it…"
Bim commented on Andreas M. Antonopoulos's group Telemetry over cellular IP"My idea us getting a Raspberry Pi(On the next batch unfortunately) with a USB 3G modem working. It's running Linux so getting an internet connection to work shouldn't be much of a problem. The Raspberry Pi would be connected to the Arduino…"
