This is super expensive on DigiKey ($85), but it is being sold on electronic goldmine for cheap! $8.95!!)http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G17180I was thinking of using this for speed measurement instead of the MPXV5004DP, who
Read more…I'm considering using the MPX4115 absolute pressure sensor for altitude, and the MPXV5004DP differential sensor for speed. These are both 5V parts, and my microcontroller is 3.3V. What would be the optimal way to connect these sensors to my uC's ADC
Read more…I'm putting together schematics for my YADIYA board (http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/yadiya-yet-another-diy), and I was wondering how many switches, pushbuttons, and LEDs should I use and for what (so I can label them properly). If you read my
Read more…For those of you who have read the comments in my other thread: http://www.diydrones.com/forum/topics/yadiya-yet-another-diy , I'm considering using two dual axis gyroscopes from ST Micro. I need a gyro for each of the axis: Roll, Yaw, and Pitch. So,
