Implementation of I2C IMU for Antenna Tracker #20014

Open devanesanandrews opened 2 years ago

Implementation of I2C IMU like MPU9250 9-Axis Attitude Gyro Accelerator Magnetometer Sensor Module for Antenna Tracker

Ardutracker uses internal IMU which forces the entire flight controller to be placed on the moving axis as it create complexity in wiring,

by placing the i2c imu with magnetometer will make the wiring easy as the flight controller can go the non moving part

Platform [ ] AntennaTracker

@devanesanandrews I would like to work on this issue.

devanesanandrews commented 1 year ago

@Astik-2002 yes that would be nice, let me know how do we proceed.

I had same idea and started to investigate. I believe those i2c IMUs are supported for longest time. You need to create custom hwdef.dat for your chibios board and recompile. Shouldn§t be anything more than that.

@kolins-cz

I wasnt aware of this, if its only needed to create a hwdef file, i can do that, it also brings to me to my another idea

https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/20013

where we can use ardupilot boards as servo gimbal stablizer

I ll try this and update
