Inertial navigation in Arducopter

Posted by Jan Kaas on November 22, 2011 at 4:00am

Hello,

I'm working on a project with an Arducopter and I want to switch to Inertial Navigation to navigate from waypoint to waypoint (which are programmed into the autopilot) in the event that the GPS signal is lost for whatever reason. Has anyone already worked on or experimented with this kind of secondary navigation?

Thanks, Jan

Inertial navigation is very imprecise in this circumstances due to very high drift...

Unfortunately.

Hi Jan,

The arduino does not have enough processing power to run an inertial navigator in addition to the autopilot code. Try checking out Open Pilot.
