Re Incorporating a 3 axis magnetometer:
I think it would be a terrific asset to have the possibility to add a modular magnetometer like the DIYdrones store break out Jordi build around the 5843.
http://store.diydrones.com/HMC5843_Trip ... 843-01.htmIt would be good for quads and good for fixed wing too. I also like the idea of it being modular so in a fixwing, we can place it away from sources of magnetic disturbance like motors and Esc.
I know William Premerlani got it working on the UAV Devboard with great results apparently.
Since Gluon is DSPIC based, just like the UAV Devboard, I imagine we can use some of his code as a framework to make the Gluon 9 DOM (or DOF as some call it!) or use Mitch's code.
With GPS, and a good airspeed sensor, we could have a rock solid autopilot solution.
The question is, do we have enough processing power for all this hardware working together? I am too much of a noob to answer that kind of a question!
Cheers,
Olivier
