We are a bunch of college students in our pre-final year from India trying to build a Quad from cheap parts with the following specs:Motor:: 1050kv, 22 turn, 19A,ESC::Turnigy 25 A, turnigy sentrybattery - 5000mah, turnigy, 25CSensors: hacked from…
Can u send me a circuit diagram of your connections from the SF IMU to the Arduino. I am having a problem. Am not able to get the pinout for the z-sensor. And can u post a better photograph of your Arduino+IMU setup.

i know its been long. I have finally figured out the PID control loop for the motors and the pinouts for the x,y axis of the accelerometers. Have only one problem. Don't know how to get the output from the z-axis of the accelerometers. Can't…"
"Hi all
I was facing exactly the same problem while I was using my arduino to route signals from my RC to ESC. I read wayne garriss' post and tried specifying a delay such that the ESC would get a signal after exactly 50ms interval and it worked…"
I got the IMU working thanks to Brian. Now I would like your help on the Kalman filter to implement on it. Just could u give me the basics of what to do with the raw readings of the IMU. I can do the coding myself.
"also wat abt the part where they have mentioned in the atomic datasheet that we are not supposed to connect the imu to a rs232 line.(probably due to high voltage).."
"hi Brian..
Thanks for the early reply..
I was thinking of just using the output from the three gyros and connecting the 'Out', 'Gnd' & '3.3v' pins directly to analog inputs of arduino.
Wat do 'PD' and 'ST' pins indicate??
i would really appreciate…"
Thanks a ton for the info u gave i'll definitely try it today. And no, I have not loaded my own code onto the IMU. Still using the default firmware. I am an undergraduate and totally new to all this. So can u also tell me how to load my…"
"i have already destroyed the Rx pin in it in the process..
so now using the Dout, Din, Gnd & Vcc pins in the Xbee socket..
do i need any more pins??
not using a xbee module, just connecting my arduino (resp) pins to the xbee pins..
plz help"
Thanks for replying so quick. Cannot wait to hear from Brian. Am banging my head on this for the past month. Am waiting for his reply. Pls keep me posted on your progress with the "Dreaming of wings" project
