The compass is tilt-compensated, but it uses an accelerometer to determine orientation. It is just me, or is the movement of the UAV likely to be interpreted as a false horizon, therefore invalidating the tilt-compensation. It seems better physics to use GPS vectoring to establish compass bearing?
The Arduino project has several references for interpreting PPM. If you are lucky, the fasst output includes a composite serial line you can tap.
I would second Chris's suggestion that moving from micro-basic to micro-c (ie Arduino) is quite seemless (And I say that as a VB nerd who breaks out in hives around c++) The beauty of Arduino and C is the existing libraries and samples for this work - much more powerful than BasicStamp.
This may be a good time to explain how a gyro maintains a good horizon without an infrared reference. Can the GPS be used to make corrections? Someone? My understanding is that these gyros will drift - am I wrong?
