"If you are truly only interested in pitch AND the IMU will always have it's X axis aligned with its motion (this is the general assumption in the DCM code and why it works for airplanes but not for helicopters) then no, you do not need the gps…"
Daniel Wee replied to james a's discussion best way to just get pitch data from arduimu"Get the ArduIMU+ V2. Load up arduimu.pde and the rest of the files will load automatically. The GPS while not absolutely necessary, supposedly helps with centripetal force corrections in dynamic situations. It all depends on the type of application…"
james a replied to james a's discussion best way to just get pitch data from arduimu"additional questions
is the gps required for the DCM to work if i only want pitch attitude?
which ardu-imu would be best suited to my need?"

i would just like to send only pitch angle data from arduimu to another arduino my understanding of code is poor i would like to know which of the following pieces of code i need to load onto the imu board to achieve this task? which piece of code do i need to modify to send only pitch data?

I am sure it is going to be alot harder than I have imagined.
I am pretty confident that in the regards to the physics and fluid mechanics the project is possible.
I am sorry my question was so broad, so i will try to…"

"James a,
I am not sure if what you want to do is possible or not. In any case, its probably more work than you are imagining. You are going to need a thorough knowledge of physics, fluid dynamics, mechanics, electrical engineering, control systems,…"

yes there will be a rider on board. so it is not a true UAV.
the goal of the whole idea is for the rider to be seated so the craft can be used for extended ocean journeys.
At the moment i only plan for a very small craft in…"

"Are you planning a full size boat or a model? If it is full size, will there be a rider on board?"

Hi everyone,I want to build a hydrofoil sailing boat based on this hydrofoil windsurfer, but to use the UAV DevBoard and moving weights to stabalize pitch and roll instead of the riders body mass.I have only looked over the website breifly and am unable to find an answer due to my lack of knowledge. I just need someone with some hands-on knowledge to tell me if its possible or not, before i invest more time.ThankyouJames aSee More
