UAV Drone
Airborne avionics platform for drone system identification and control
....
This UAV drone hardware senses critical orientation parameters through a MPU-9250 9 Degree of Freedom sensor. This sensor measures 3-axis Acceleration Nx, Ny, & Nz, Compass Mx, My, Mz, and Gyroscopic rate P, Q, & R. A sensor fusion and numeric integration algorithm then combines these 9 parameters to 4 Euler parameters/Quaternions. An Euler body 1-2-3 sequence relates these to Roll/Pitch/Yaw. Air data is measured through altimeter and differential pressures. GPS measures position and track.
