Merry Christmas and happy new year DIYdrones! It is been long since my first blog post about my time in jDrones. Sorry guys I haven’t posted since then, even I said I would. Been busy finishing my degree and with my projects.
I recently recorded a video of one of our projects here. We’re doing some research on how we could build stand alone virtual horizon/attitude detector to use in gliders and other flying vehicles. This very early version is running on Ardustation Mega. This screen is way too rough to draw nice graphics, but good enough to determine algorithms to draw the horizon lines, speedmeter and variometer of the aircraft.
Final version will have built in GPS, gyro/accelerometer, barometer and other necessary stuff for fully stand alone operation to support flying.
What kind of a information do you think this kind of a display should provide?
Have a peaceful holidays DIYdrones.

I am really no expert on real flying, but i think that if you plan on target for example glider pilots it is really important to have a high quality air speed presentation and be very careful where you display GPS-speed. If you try to create a glass cockpit type instrument it is important that the information shown is the expected one.
Just my five cents...
