Here is the blog created by mine team member Anugrah along with me for our final year project "SURYAAN".Infact we were not able to complete the AUTONOMUS part with in the specified time of approx 10 month but we had completed UAV...a aeromodel along with CAMERA and GPS installed on it giving its location via Xbee to HK GCS.we are very helpfull to HK for providing us the guidence and DIY drones who help me to make up my basics which were so poor earlier.
well we will continuogspe working on the autonomus part but without guidence it is quite tough when you are making your own auto-pilot kit with your full programming.
wish me luck.

well i am not using a IMU but a bunch of discrete sensors 3 axis accelerometer, single axis yaw rate gyroscope and magnetic compas having I2C interface.Earlier i had worked with them regarding getting the Digital output on LCD but i wasnt able to get exact inclination using kalman filter in embedded c.Infact i was able to get that heading info using magnetic compass.
i had done parsing of NMEA string in C and took out the latitude ,longitude,altitude and date and time.i can improve that to took out the no of satelite locked but that will be in c.
i would be adding heading info to the parsed gps string data
