Re: Speed Sensor

I think so, the rules dont specifically write about how we cant make a PIC. as long as its outputs go to the RC, they're okay..

We're going to use 2 low-g high precision Motorolla accelerometers (1 axis) run it through a kalman filter on a PIC or STAMP or whatever and output an analog signal..

be sure to eliminate every possible source of bias before your integrator (PIC in this case) or else your v measurements will be vastly off
