Hi, I'm after some practical help from those who know best! I'm trying to convert an electric radio controlled coaxial helicopter to becoming an autonomous electric helicopter. We are restricted to using an arduino development board (Atmel 328) and the sparkfun IDG500 accelerometer/gyro combination. I am aware of the various complications involved with accelerometer drift etc, but the project budget does not allow us to go ahead and purchase the oilshield IMU. Realistically all we want is to achieve indoor hover. How realistic do you think this is and what advice would you offer.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
