Hi,I'm wondering how well the ArduPilot code handles accelerated reference frames, i.e. where there is a significant acceleration applied other than gravity.  Does the YPR orientation become confused…Continue

About Me:
I'm a Cornell EE who's been out of hands-on HW dev for more than a decade. I'm also an instrument-rated private pilot. I've recently become interested in the Arduino ecosystem.
Tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'd like to build an Arducopter for myself, and I'm working with my son's high school to see if there is enough interest to build a 'rover' with various Arduino-based science experiments on it to get kids connected with the Mars mission and the possibilities of DIY electronics.
