Re: [Paparazzi-devel] ArduIMU

[Reto Büttner]

Hi all,

I got some feedback from the guys of ZHAW directely:

- The throttle slew can be ommitted.
- The newest code is arduino_basic.pde (cleaned up by Gautier Hattenberger)
- ENABLE_AIR_START 1 should be set to avoid recalibration according to
current random aircraft position when plugging in the battery.

I experience the following drift behaviour:

arduino.pde and ENABLE_AIR_START 0: No drift.
arduino.pde and ENABLE_AIR_START 1: A lot of drift.
arduino_basic.pde and ENABLE_AIR_START 0: A lot of drift.
arduino_basic.pde and ENABLE_AIR_START 1: A lot of drift.

I thought I could avoid the annoying drift by going outside to get
gps. Unfortunately that didn't change anything. Therefore the only
configuration looking good to me is the first one.

Can someone explain the drift depending on different configurations?

Cheers,
Reto
