Question
Asked by: Monis
Subject: aircraft orientation
Question: Hi
I just got into R/C aircraft modeling and was trying to creat a device to findout the orientation of a flying aircraft.
I found out that i can use a combination of gyroscope and accelerometer to calculate the orientation
I looked through some gyroscopes and they apparently give an output which is the rate of change of yaw,pitch and the roll
can i somehow like integrate the output to get the exact value.
basically i wanted to findout how to calculate the yaw(orientation) of an aircraft.
