Hi Paolo, in principle any sensor cluster should work but the drivers for these chips need to be implemented/integrated...

You can also fly it manually (the video also shows a manual flight).

Is it possible to use the MinIMU-9? I can use PenguPilot without the GPS module?

Yes. I want to know how to run first file. I want to print value angle out.

Now that is a "Pi in the sky" idea.

Nice work!

At first i thought, that the drone is balancing a stick on top, and was totally amazed, what actually it is, is an old school rc antenna :)

However, on the U3 we have to use I2C bit-banging, which sucks somehow... on the Pi we can use a real I2C controller.
