Jan Martin replied to Brian's discussion ArduPilot with Non-ArduIMU
"I think the may difference is that the ArduIMU+ has a processor and runs a DCM filter to process it's sensors raw data.
While your Sparkfun 9DOF Sensor stick is a breakout board for three sensors only. No processing of the raw sensor data at all.
So…"

Jan Martin replied to Johann Van Niekerk's discussion APM/IMU camera Stabilization
"Folks,
 
only the last video shows actual video footage taken with such a system.

Thanks,
Jan"

Jan Martin commented on William Premerlani's blog post rudder-roll stabilization
"Hi Bill,
what happens when there suddenly is not GPS signal anymore?
Does dead reckoning take over automatically?

Jan Martin replied to Aaron's discussion FreeFlight 9DOF I2C IMU
"Looks good.
 
Obivous questions:
How does one avoid it being "off" in reality?
I understand it needs GPS coordinates to compensate for sensor drifting?
Do yo plan to sell it? When? Where? How much?
 
Thanks,
Jan"
