Mike Mogenson commented on Geoffrey L. Barrows's blog post Arduino optical flow sensor (fun breadboard prototype)
"glad to see you're working on arduino support!"

This is just an idea, and not a well formed one, but would it be possible to send all the IMU sensor data from a quadcopter UAV to a remote ground station or laptop that's running an autopilot program, then send motor commands back?  Its the same…

Mike Mogenson replied to Mike Mogenson's discussion Which sensors are connected to which analog pins on the ArduIMU v2?
"After looking though the board schematics it looks like the x acel = pin 0, y acel = pin 1, z acel = pin 2, z gyro = pin 3, x gyro = pin 6, y gyro = pin 7 where x is pitch, y is roll, and z is yaw.

When I test the gyro pins 6, 7, and 3 with a…"

Hello, can someone tell me which sensor is read by which analog pin in the ADC section of the ArduIMU code?For example, it looks like the pitch accelerometer is on pin 0 and the variable mapped to the pitch accelerometer is AN[0].  I can't figure…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JLkMAlfDdEThis is just a test with two motors mounted on beam with a pivot in the middle (like a seesaw).  An ArduIMU is in the middle sending orientation information to the NXT and the NXT sends motor commands…

I have two identical pairs of ESC & brushless motor combinations.  The ESC's spin both motors at different speeds for the same duty cycle.  I'm using an arduino and the analogWrite() function to send PWM signals to each ESC.  An input of 127 equals…

Mike Mogenson replied to Mike Mogenson's discussion Are there IMUs that output absolute position?
"My application is an indoor quadcopter. I'm not going to use GPS and I'm not planning any high speed aerobatics. Would I run into any of the limitations of the CHRobotics AHRS? If I use the ArduIMU, would the lack of centripetal acceleration…"

"Can you tell me if this IMU from the DIY drones store gives you absolute roll/pitch angles? http://store.diydrones.com/product_p/kt-arduimu-20.htm

It says it runs a DCM algorithm. Its that a direction cosine matrix code to fuse the…"

Does anyone know of a complete IMU solution that can "fuse" the data from the accelerometers and gyros onboard in order to output an absolute angle for roll and pitch?  This would mean the main micro controller wouldn't have to continuously…
