Re: Inertial Navigation System - Has it Been Done?
I have a question as to how this works.
I understand that the accelerometer gives your acceleration at any given point in time. Thus, you take the double integral to give position and you should be able to calculate where you are from that. My main question is how can this controller possibly do calculus functions when it doesn't even handle floating point numbers well?
I haven't looked at the accelerometer default code because my team isn't using any accelerometers, so I apologize if this is an obvious question.
