[Paparazzi-devel] Re: ArduIMU and Tiny

[Ensslin Oliver (enso)]

Hi Steve, Chris, Christophe …

 

I followed your discussion a bit and feel obligated to answer now. This since the integration of the ArduIMU was an assignment for Emilio and René for their bachelor work at ZHAW. My goal is to get the 25 kg UAV called UMARS in the air for the COST-UAS-Action. Emilio is my coworker now, integrating Paparazzi into UMARS. I asked him about the 15 Hz discussion.

 

His Answer was that these 15 Hz were found to be good for the Maya test plane we have. We found it would work fine. Sure the frequency can be raised for better performance. Also with smaller more agile planes like the Funjet.

 

I have posted a Video with the Maya Flying at: https://home.zhaw.ch/~enso/maja1.wmv Have fun watching it.

 

If you plan to fly many circles in the same direction the use of an additional magnetometer will improve the controll. We have tested one and are still working to release the code.
