View Full Version : Discussion question about INU for UAV

Hi there,

I am currently working on a homemade UAV project.

Can you recommend me a unit that can measure the position, altitude, pitch, yaw, roll, airspeed and transmit it at 25-30 miles distance?
Or if this is too much, can you recommend me a unit that could measure at least pitch, yaw and roll accurately? I would be interested to have these readings as stable as possible for a 30-50 minutes flight...

I intend to mount this unit on the UAV and be able to fly it "beyond visual range".
I would basically receive the above information (position, altitude, pitch, yaw, roll, airspeed) and then display them on a computer and be able to fly it- at least in theory :)

I've also seen sparkfun 6DOF unit ( http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8192 ).
Would this unit be able to provide me pitch, yaw and roll accurately for 30-50 minutes?

Thanks,
