Proposed Sensor Stack 2022

Current Spike 2020-2021 Sensor Stack

Camera:

  • GoPro

GPS:

Ultrasonic Sensor:

IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit):

  • BMX160 IMU: Where are all the sensors mounted?

    • Where is ultrasonic sensor pointed?

  • Figure out Pixhawk Sensor Stack?

  • Expand on all the sensors. Deep dive of how they work, what they do etc.

Pixhawk 4

Pixhawk Autopilot v6U Standard

Navio2

Zeropilot 1.0

General Notes

IMU

  • ICM-20689

  • BMI055

  • ICM-20602

  • ICM-42605

  • BMI088 ACCEL + GYRO

  • MPU9250

  • LSM9DS1

...

Provides functionalities such as accelerometer, gyroscope

Barometric Pressure Sensor:

...

Magnetometer

  • IST8310

  • BMM150

N/A

N/A

Barometer

  • MS5611

  • BMP388

  • MS5611

  • Used to calculate altitude based on pressure.

  • Using a barometric pressure sensor vs. GPS :

    • Doesn’t rely on orientation

    • Doesn’t get fooled if you are flying over something

    • HARDER to use due to aerodynamics principles (Bernoulli's principle)

GPS

Airspeed Sensor:

...

  • Possible issues that come with GPS

    • Large error bound

    • Slow update rates (1Hz)

    • Signal interference (weather, etc.)

Ultrasonic

Airspeed Sensor

  • UNKNOWN

Camera

  • GoPro
