Hi!
I'm an aerospace engineering student and I've been launching rockets for a while. I've just started looking for ways to stabilize/control my rockets and I came across this:
https://github.com/vshymanskyy/GY80
to be used with this ("10" DOF):
https://dx.com/p/gy-80-bmp085-9-axis-magnetic-acceleration-gyroscope-module-for-arduino-145912 (and of course, the arduino)
I guess that would be a straight forward and cheap way to go... The code as it is right now outputs yaw, roll and pitch angles and compensates yaw gyro drifting using the compass magnetic heading. More coding needs to be written to use these angles and send signals to control surfaces/gymbals.
You guys think this configuration/coding has a future or is worth working on? Or is it better buy an IMU from SparFun, which is already supported by this:
https://github.com/ptrbrtz/razor-9dof-ahrs
and then just worry about the "controlling" issue?
I'm really not sure because, if you look the codes from the 2 websites, they are the same... The guy just adapted the code written for the SparkFun devices to use with the cheap GY80....
