[Paparazzi-devel] 9D sensors module

[Dmitri Belimov]

Hello

We actively use OSM and draw the maps of our living area. But our surroundings 
is huge (it's Russia...) 
and not so many local people involved in the project. Few largest cities have 
good Bing images good 
enough to draw them in OSM. A lot of small towns and villages have no usable 
satellite images. 
Our team want to build full automatic flying drone to make aerial images. We've 
already bought 
small aircraft Multiplex Easy Gloder Pro, good R/C system and other stuff for 
human-controlled flight. 
Now we want to build autopilot system. The autopilot system is based on the 
opensource/openhardware 
project Paparazzi http://paparazzi.enac.fr/wiki/Main_Page ported to our 
hardware. Our autopilot consist 
of two main parts: autopilot control system and non-inertial navigation system.

Main idea is to several new cheap MEMS sensor is to use for null-drift, 
temperature-drift compensation 
and on-the-fly detection of malfunction sensors. The three 3D sensors rotated 
to 30 degrees. 

We designed and manufacturing 9d-sensors module and it's working.
Right now we design test board for test works of 3 pcs modules and ARM CPU.

It can be intresting for your community.
You can see our project here (only Russia :(   )
