Centripetal force compensation testing with a old record player.

Posted by jlcortex on June 22, 2009 at 10:25am
Centripetal force compensation is a algorithm than compensate centripetal forces effect over accelerometers so AHRS could get a correct attitude measurement during large turns.we are using a simple record player to test centripetal compensation.Effect of centripetal force could be a problem if the plane stay in a turn for a large time, for example doing circles.jlcortexnmine.com

    Love it, well done. Almost a flat spin simulator.

    Brian, yes, the experiment is only to see the compensation working.

    Brian, it is not a G-Force test!!!

    it is a test to verify centripetal force compensation. with this experiment (radius = 0.13 meter and rpm = 45) we get a error of 16 degree without compensation, it is perfect to test it!

    Hi Joseph,

    yes, firstly we have tested it in a car, but we can not see nothing. it is a good method. it is very easy to see if compensation is working!
