"i don't know what you have already set up in your plane...
but I think (newbie) that if you could get the speed of your aircraft with respect to the wind
and also get the speed of your aircraft using GPS, then (aircraft_speed - gps_speed) should
be…"
"It appears that this device must vibrate to produce a signal...
I would recommend probably a flex force device attached perpendicular to the thrust of air
inside the EDF housing. When the device is not flexed (perfectly perpendicular), then the…"
"I don't have a lot of embedded or electronics background but I did some research on op-amps and I don't think that this will work. I don't think that increasing the resolution of the ADC could increase the accuracy and sensitivity of the IMU (or…"
"Jordi!!!... Wazzup?!!!... I've been searching the Internet and found an ArduCopter... aren't you the creator of that one?!!!... that would be great!!!...
the 5-DOF IMU from Sparkfun spits out analog voltage in each axis... so I think that it's…"
AludrACopter Project:I started my analog 5-DOF modular IMU research and testing in January of 2009. I don't know much about electronics. I researched on op-amps and how to use it to create an analog computing device to do calculus integration of…
first, I think that you should at least make sure that your platform is flyable...
you could turn that into a full blown rc helicopter with receiver, transmitter, heading hold
gyro, and a LiPo…"
"Chris: I double checked and I figured out what's wrong. It wasn't fried... the header that I soldered didn't make complete contact with the metal in the hole... i resoldered carefully (considering i've resoldered it so many times before it was a big…"
"i think i just fried my 5 DOF IMU from Sparkfun... no fun at all... i'm getting voltage signals of zeros on all axis analog output... =( such an expensive device to fry..."
