QuadFox Stable mode test

In this video is possible to see the incredible stability of DCM V3 developed by Jose Julio a member of Arducopter DEVTEAM.In this video I enjoyed playing with my QuadFox. Tell me your impressions. Iported this algorithm and the original code of Arducopter multipilot
hardware and controllers i2c hardware as well as original APM impressive
results in terms of stability in this video you can see how the
aircraft is stable and easily implementable with automatic flight control systems, GPS, magnetometer, sonar and so on.Congratulations to Jose and all members of the DevTeam. I am proud to help develop Arducopter project:) Thanks Chris for this opportunity and Jani:)

Robero, Looks great. The Direction Cosine Matrix (DCM) was originally developed by Bill Premerlani and implemented in the UAV DevBoard. Since then, Bill has implemented "High Bandwidth Dead Reckoning" (HBDR )using the DCM in MatrixPilot. It integrates the accelerometer information 40 times / second to provide much finer grained velocity and position. The resulting IMU velocity and position is corrected gradually over time using the GPS position and velocity. The correction calculations take account of the delay in GPS information arriving, and also takes account of the dynamic filter in the GPS.

Perhaps you are using something similar already ?

I had a blast flying mine yesterday. Even in 15 + mph winds it was rock solid. Can't wait to get it back up in the air!
