artificial horizon

Posted by Tommy Neubauer on November 15, 2010 at 1:30pm
In the configurator do you have to have the magno in order for the artificial horizon to work? The reason that I ask is that it seems to go off to one side or the other depending on which computer I plug it into, but the accelerometers seem to work.

Thanks,
Tommy

    sorry i miss read your post the first time. I thought you said esc not eeprom. I just initialized it and it works. Thanks for the help.

    i dont have any esc's hooked up. Do i need to before it will work?

    i will add one thing though. When i had the apm software loaded on here and put it in debug mode the yaw pitch and role seemed to feed valid and stable output to the serial monitor. Just a side note that I thought might help.

    here is another video of what it is doing it looks like the accelerometer is not calabrated or something and i dont know how to do that.

    the sensor readings seem to be fine. they move when it moves but the virtual horizon keeps freaking out like the video. I will post a video of the regular sensor readings in a few when lunch roles around.

    Hmm i will post a video of it. Its the tilt that is off. it looks like it is tilted all the way tilted to one side or the other.

    it works without magneto
    but the yaw will drift (numbers on the bottom)
