Hi all,
ardupilot in recent months has had many updates, but I wonder if there are any planned developments to implement the high availability (through the use of two or three Ardupilot in active-active or Active-Stanby configuration) and a new mathematics (or New IMU ) that is capble in the case GPS signal is lost the opportunity to continue the mission using only the IMU.
I have read all the spec of the IMU and the Ardupilot but I have not found the rate of error of IMU (oil pan) in the event of this fault.
Best Regards,
Alessandro Vitali

I will think to use a different Module That is positioned Between the Reciver radio , The APM and the Servo
this Module check the consistency of the data transmitted by the receivers to the APM and simultaneously check the consistency of data provided by APM to servo, then this module is who has the ability to switch between apm .
In this manner the connection between the reciver and the servo remain intact.
Same thing with regard to the serial connector for telemetry if a Module is Positioned between the serial port and the WiFi module.
This modules can controls the telemetry and compares them with those of two other APM present it as to whether an IMU or the autopilot in general is malfunctioning.
the idea that I have in mind so we can represent graphically:
RCV1---|-Modules1--|--APM1-----|--------|--Modules2-------|------Xbee1
---------------- | |--APM2-----|--------| |
RCV2---|---------|-|-|-|--|--APM3-----|--------|--------------------- -|------GSM/UMTS Modem
| | | |
To servos
What did you think ?
