INTEGRATION OF VECTOR MAGNETOMETER MODULE ON BOARD OF SMALL UAV

Abstract

The aim of this contribution is a proposal of vector magnetometer module implementation on board of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) also with proposal of software integration of magnetometer information and other inertial measurements. This contribution also include proposal of printed circuit boards of modular IMU. The results of solved issue represent the fundamental concept of simple navigation and stabilization algorithms in form of inertial measurement unit and program solution. Results based on these ideas and realizations are in graphical form explained at the end of contribution, focusing on examples of heading angle and Kalman filter estimation.
