5DOF+WMP VS WMP+NC

Post by Ebi »

Hello, I started flying Tricopters with a modified Aeroquad software and an Arduino Duemilanove.
Thanks to the wonderfull job you made on the MultiWii project (thanks a lot), I decided to move to the MultiWii platform :D

I've seen in version 1.6 that it's possible to use the ADC accelerometer 5DOF from sparkfun.
uses analog PIN A1/A2/A3

I do own both NC and 5DOF which setup woul you recommend to me WMP+5DOF OR WMP+NC

One more question in the code it's written

accADC[ROLL] = -analogRead(A1);
accADC[PITCH] = -analogRead(A2);
accADC[YAW] = -analogRead(A3);

On the 5DOF unit they use X-accel Y-accel Z-Accel do you know which one is Roll Pitch and Yaw?

Thanks for your advice, comment and help,

Hi,

The resolution is not very good with the ACC of the 5DOF, but the loop time will be better.
=> WMP + 5DOF is probably better
roll = x ; pitch = y ; yaw = Z
