[Paparazzi-devel] vibration and imu problem solved.

[Chris]

Ok it looks like my vibration problem is solved.
After downloading every paper i could find on vibration dampening here 
is what i did in case someone
finds this info usefull.
i first made a sandwich with the imu between two MonnGel pads (Moongel 
pads stick together very well) and then i wrapped the whole thing in 
latex foam and installed it in a plastic case.
I used just enough latex foam in order to keep the whole assembly steady 
when enclosed in the plastic case.
The imu also has a lead plate about 20g attached to it for increased 
inertia.
Then i searched for the quietest spot in the fuselage and guess where i 
found it...
Right behind the firewall....
Also don't forget that the imu wiring must be relaxed by creating a 
small (3-5cm) loop with the wires and attaching this loop loosely to the 
fuselage (at one point only) in a way that the wiring portion from the 
loop to the plastic case containing the imu does not touch the fuselage 
at any point.
