[Paparazzi-devel] My IMU for paparazzi is almost done. Few test flights are successfully performed

[Andrew S]

Hello all
I have done my IMU for paparazzi autopilot. My EasyStar flyes excellent with 
it, I can say, much better and stable than with thermopiles. I flyed in the 7-8 
m/s wind  with 10 m/s airspeed, and my Easystar goes wery straight against the 
wind. IMU is made on small pcb and works on AVR microcontroller, communicate 
with tiny via SPI bus. Sensors - LY530, LPR530, ADXL335.  IMU PCB is mounted on 
the Easystars body, but device is not affected by vibration, hovewer the plane 
has got a low vibration kontronik motor. For the near future I am going to 
improve something... polish code, try to use LIS344 accel to improve vibration 
tolerancy, redesign PCB...
Cheers, Andrew
