Hello,I would like to connect arduIMU to arduPilot.I would like to build a complet system with: arduPilot, arduIMU, GPS, pressure sensor and magneto-sensor.1) Do you think it's possible ?2) Is-it possible to connect them using the pins MISO/MOSI ? Is there any conflict with GPS ?3) Other suggestions ?Thanks for your help and suggestions.CLT.
You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!
I have completed my code for this project and am finishing the hardware integration. Unfortunately it snowed here today which may slow testing down. My airframe is not hand launch... Anyone interested interested in testing let me know.
I haven't thought about the magnetometer component, but if you are willing to rewrite the code I think connecting ArduIMU to ArduPilot should be fairly straightforward. GPS will feed AdruIMU, which will feed ArduPilot via serial data. The ArduIMU code will need little if any modification. ArduPilot's code will need to parse the serial input from ArduIMU to get the GPS data and Euler angles.
I have been too busy to spend as much time as I'd like on my DIYDrones projects, but rewriting the AdruPilot code as above is on my short list. I'd be happy to collaborate on it if you are interested.
Like CLT I would like to use ArduIMU with ArduPilot.
I am a newbee so I am probably wrong, but is it possible to add ( of course with some modifications ) in Ardupilot code a part of ArduIMU code, to compute pitch, roll and yaw from analog sensors (via vector and DCM calculation) instead of FMA sensors?
That means I would like to keep everything from ArduPilot except FMA sensors that will be substitue by analog sensors (3 accelero and 3 gyros) as with ArduIMU.
I would like to do that because I fly with seaplane and moreover I would like to add it on a boat (pitch and roll are corrected by moving batteries left-right, behind-front)
Thanks you in advance for your answer and sorry for my english...
We are creating a "thermopile replacement" version of the IMU, which will use the analog pins and the existing cable. Although it's technically possible to connect the current ArduIMU via serial, you'd have to completely rewrite the ArduPilot code. Better to wait for ArduPilot Mega, which will have the IMU built in (early next year)

With this confgiuración would it include the telemetry?
