IntroductionIt can be difficult to get useful data from a magnetometer. It can be especially difficult if the data is used to estimate the yaw attitude of the vehicle. For example, the sensor may indicate the proper direction for certain attitudes,…
"Thanks Chris!
There were two reasons we wanted our own autopilot. First, we wanted an all-in-one board that had a GPS receiver, barometer, 9-axis IMU, temperature/humidity sensor, and a telemetry radio. It was important to have a single, compact…"

There is a simple way to implement waypoint navigation. The algorithm was introduced by Lawrence, Frew, and Pisano back in 2008. You can view the paper here: http://dx.doi.org/10.2514/1.34896.I have flight tested this algorithm multiple times on a…
"Hey Curt,
The YouTube video you posted looks amazing! I like how the flight trajectory stays up on the HUD. So you use temperature-dependent calibration coefficients? I've never tried to capture the temperature-dependence. I've always assumed the…"

Hello UAV enthusiasts,I recently created a slide deck on the topic of sensors for attitude estimation (i.e. gyroscopes, accelerometers and magnetometers). In these slides, I reviewInstallation considerations,Stochastic models,Bias…
