APM2.5 as IMU with Raspberry Pi- I2c or UART

Posted by Jacob Thomas on June 4, 2013 at 5:07pm

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about trying to use my APM2.5 and Raspberry Pi as just an IMU to measure pitch, roll, and yaw of a floating object. Has anyone tried interfacing the two with i2c or uart? I'd also be using a Ublox gps to monitor position.

Thanks in advance!

    Hi, you can take a look at the AHRS_Test.pde sketch and add some GPS position printing. There should be no need to use MAVLink protocol or other fancy stuff.

    I would just use serial and no I2C. Serial just works and works :) There are 2 different UARTs to choose from.

    Regards
