ArduIMU+ V2 currently shows acceleration from the accelerometers taking into account static acceleration of gravity. Is it actually possible to remove this stativ acceleration such that the aircraft only shows the dynamic acceleration? Anyone knows…

In ArduPilot's code, it is commented that if possible 50Hz looping is preferred. However, during flight data collection, collection frequency fell short of 10Hz. Does anyone know if it is possible to increase the sampling frequency? Many thanks!

I am using ArduPilot with IMU and ublox GPS, connected to an XBee telemetry chip. I need acceleration data from the IMU accelerometers, i.e. raw an3, an4, an5 readings. Hence I tried to modify the code in IMU as follows: In arduimu code, under…

To anyone who might know, I'm using the Ublox GS407 GPS unit with ArduPilot and ArduIMU V2+. Just wondering what is the units for the latitude and longtitude of the GPS, I know altitude is in meters, but the code for ArduPilot did not state which…

I am using a ArduPilot board with ArduIMU V2+ for pitch roll and yaw sensing. The default code processes roll, pitch and yaw (ground course) and sends it into ArduPilot. ArduPilot thus has RLL, PCH and CRS information reflecting the respective…

Joseph Lum commented on Joseph Lum's blog post Angle of Attack and Sideslip angle estimation from ArduIMU V2+ and GPS data
"Hi Hamish, Doug, Jimbo, Michael, thanks all for the help rendered!! I'll take a look at the available sensors for angle of attack and sideslip and try to wire them into my ArduPilot board.. Thanks again!"

Joseph Lum commented on Joseph Lum's blog post Angle of Attack and Sideslip angle estimation from ArduIMU V2+ and GPS data
"Hmm, looks like I have to get a pot for these two readings.. If I'm using ArduPilot, how can I connect the potentiometer signals to my ArduPilot? There are R/C inputs and also servo outputs for the aircraft controls.. Can I use empty channels from…"

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to obtain AoA and sideslip angle information from GPS speed data? There is vertical speed and 3d speed so this would probably be able to give me an estimate of the angle of attack, but for sideslip, I would have to…

Joseph Lum replied to Nathaniel Caner's discussion ArduIMU V2 no GPS lock with ublox GS407
"Hi Nathaniel, I just started my ArduPilot project and happened to come across the same problem as yourself for the GPS lock with GS407. Currently I'm testing out the GPS module using u-center and under my messages view, only NAV-POSLLH, NAV-STATUS,…"

Joseph Lum replied to Wiliam Otsen's discussion Should the latest be used?
"Hi, I'm just starting to get acquainted with ArduPilot and it seems there is an error everytime I change the #define DEBUG_SUBSYSTEM 0 to anything other than 0 in order to test individual components. This happens when I used ArduPilot v 2.7. I'm…"
