Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Lisa/M v2 +Aspirin IMU loss

[Prof. Dr.-Ing. Heinrich Warmers]

Hi,
the pressure sensor reacts of sun light.
Is that the problem?
You have to cover them in same foam.
Is the IMU connected separate with same wires?
The 168MHz  prevent sometimes well GPS signals.
Therefore it is always a  good way to make a shield of metal
and use ferrite rings on all wires from and to the autopilot.

Sometimes the sensor element mpu6000 is defect.

Regards Heinrich
