Pitch of an aircraft is controlled by the elevator which is situated at the rare of the airplane running parallel to the wing that houses the ailerons. Pitch control is a longitudinal problem, and this repository presents the design of an Arduino-based system as a solution.

Arduino MPU9250 - Gyroscope Motion Processing

The MPU-9250 is a 9-axis Motion Tracking device that combines a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis magnetometer and a Digital Motion Processor. With its dedicated I2C sensor bus, the MPU-9250 directly provides complete 9-axis DoF output. In this project, the gyroscope function is explored in controlling pitch by altering elevator deflection angle.

Procedure for using MPU-9250 - refer "arduino_pitch.cpp" - 3 DoF gyrosocpe:

  1. Fix address, reset calibrate, reset threshold from previous iterations.
  2. Set up clock source, scale and range of functioning.
  3. Read input for elevator as 8-bit values loaded into fast registers.
  4. Change angle of deflection to alter pitch suitably.
