UAVs are the ultimate combination of my two favourite things.

"I've been told (industry hear-say and rumours) that the future of collision avoidance is ADS-B for all aircraft. That's why TCAS has been stopped at version 7.1. But I really do think it's still a long way off."
"The problem with using ADS-B on MAVs is that most aircraft with ADS-B equipped transponders fly well above 10000ft, and most MAVs fly well below that. I think until ADS-B is mandatory for all aircraft, it's really nothing more than a gimmick."
"Personally, I'm a huge fan of J-10 anti-vibration jelly. It's great adhesive and it does an amazing job of removing nuisance vibrations. It's a bit expensive, but for mounting gyros and stuff you don't need much and it's easy to re-use.

How does an AHRS compensate for inertial sensors that are not aligned with the airframe?In this case, the integrated / filtered orientation (i'll call it the sensor orientation) is in the form of a unit quaternion. The difference between airframe…
"Actually, I'm moving away from the Rpi and looking at using Arduino / AVR controllers for the stability and autopilot functions. The idea now is to make a 'shield' that could be plugged into the Rpi GPIO or used as a (very) basic stand alone…"
"Inertial navigation is on the way. I'm still mulling over how to fuse GPS with accelerometers. The point is to have a navigational system that is precise, high resolution and with redundancy if either GPS of accelerometers drop out but I'm not sure…"
I've made a quaternion based AHRS with bonus altitude and temperature sensing using an AltIMU-10 and an Arduino Nano. It can print out orientation in either Euler angles (heading, pitch, roll), a north-east-down rotation matrix or as a quaternion…
