Re: export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?

After a few measurements and a deeper look in the Sensors sketch, I am puzzled with the differences of low-pass between MPU6050-ACC and BMA180, could someone help me understand ? Default Low-pass for MPU6050, ACC is 260 Hz. i2c_writeReg(MPU6050_ADDRESS, 0x1A, MPU6050_DLPF_CFG); //CONFIG -- EXT_SYNC_...

Alex, merci beaucoup for taking the time for this detailed answer. This little thread helped me finish a Matlab/arduino/multiwii data logger for my vibrations test bench.

Re: export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?

acc (and gyro) values are usually divided by 4 or 8 for some idiotic reason in multiwii. you better check that the driver doesn't d o something like >> 4 or >> 2 in getADC() function. Thank you for replying timecop. I had a look again. Indeed, it seems to be not only divided by 4, but there's also ...

Re: export vibrations log as csv from multiwiiconf ?

Hi, Since i had no luck with this question, i've started coding my own vibration logger that interfaces with Matlab for real time measurements. ITG3205 was easy, lots of tutorials. However, for the BMA180, i had better luck reading through the multiwii code, to get the part that exported the accADC ...

Re: Horizontal horizon off after ACC calibration

Another question, i'm a bit confused with gyros and ACC. Is the artificial horizon reading from gyros or from ACC ??? They're both attached next to each other so not sure which one i should check for orientation, and auto-level needs ACC, hence the question.
