Hi,
I am currently designing the electronics for a large scale RC helicopter. This is more an electronics project than mechanical since i want the helicopter to be ultra easy to fly. That means it has to hover stationary regardless of wind or other altering conditions. This means the on board chips will have to compensate for all forms of motion.
I have already been able to compensate for spin, forward tilt and sideways tilt. This is simply done by using gyro's, an electronic compass(hall effect sensor) and accellerometers. (i use the accelerometers to determine "down")
The accelerometers however are not accurate enough to see small linear motion (up/down, left/right, etc) AKA drift. Does anyone have an idea how i could properly detect this linear motion?
