APM DCM axes convention

Hi all,

I'm a bit messed about the axes orientation used in the DCM code implementation in ardu/pilot/plane/copter code.

Regarding to datasheet :

MPU6000 is right handed with Z axis pointing up (on the component view) ?

HMC5883L is left handed with Z axi

Optimal power supply

Hi all,

 

I saw some recommandations with powering the APM with only 2S 7.4V lipo battery through the 5V linear regulator on the Oilpan.

But I'll need a 3S 11.1V or 4S 14.8V to power my servos AND the APM.

 

So my question : is it possible to use that kin

Compute euler angles (Z( X( Y) )

Hi all,

 

I need to compute each euler axis from the DCM matrix of the APM. But I'm not really sure of the way to do that...

 

First, the axis are :

- X forward

- Y to the right wing

- Z to down

 

So it's a right handed system, don't it ?

 

Finally I'd like to
