could you use a PC and wireless link as an off-board/remote autopilot?

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 ide

Which sensors are connected to which analog pins on the ArduIMU v2?

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 out

This 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 back.

any way to sync the speed of motors or adjust the output of ESC's?

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 5

Are there IMUs that output absolute position?

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 integrate
