Blarg... a flashback from early last season...
I built an inertia navigation system, based around a Basic Stamp 2. I have the schematics and code someplace, AIM me if u want them (ExtrudedAluminiu)
The system I built was based around a three axis accelerometer and three gyros. The acellerometer and gyro outputs were integrated by op-amps (analog circuits!!) and then fed to an ADC. The BS2 would select the data it wanted, and it would read it in. It worked remarkable well on my desk. =)
I also placed a 1-axis accelerometer, and ADC, and a BS2 into a model rocket. The BS2 was supposed to read the ADC and then store the output in its onchip EEPROM. However when i tested it, the BS2 couldn't keep up with the incoming data, and I missed large enough chunks that the height that i obtained was useless.
Btw, all the accellerometers i used were from Analog Devices. They work great for projects and FIRST things.
