Did anybody use "CHR-6d Inertial Measurement Unit" (US$125, 1.5grams 6DoF IMU) in his/her UAV?

Replacing FMA with a 6DOF IMU

Posted on August 30, 2009 at 7:22am 28 Comments

Hello,

If I understand right, Ardupilot is dependent on FMA for roll and pitch stability.

I have 6DOF IMU from Sparkfun and I want to use it to monitor the roll, yaw and pitch angles of my model airplane and use this data to perform FMA functions i.e. maintain roll and pitch stability.



Sparksfun's 6DOF IMU gives accelerations and gyro data. On benchtop experiments, I can accurately measure my roll and pitch angles using only accelerometers. But, if the IMU flies in model… Continue

High definition FPV

Hello,

Is there such thing as high definition FPV? i.e. is it possible to transmit high definition video from UAV for FPV application?

Do you know any high definition FPV system?
