Re: Android Controll System

IMU Details:
  • Arduino + IMU chip
  • UDP packet streams over Ethernet

Basic algorithm:
  1. Kalman filter at 50 Hz brings in IMU data: 3-axis gyro, accelerometer, and compass
  2. The output is a corrected Euler angels for roll, pitch, and yaw
  3. Encoding in IEEE floating point format in a UDP packet

Presently, we have LabVIEW for decoding (you can build anything to unpack/decode the UDP)
