How is IMU used in drones?


First of all, we know that the IMU combines a 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope, which can provide the UAV with the data needed to maintain stable flight, and can be integrated with other systems such as GPS for dead reckoning navigation. Because these functions are so critical, a drone can often use multiple IMUs for greater accuracy and redundancy.

The main reasons include: The IMU can be used as a backup in the event that the drone's other vital navigation systems, such as GPS, are blocked, interrupted or completely disabled. In addition, IMU is also indispensable for applications that cannot use GPS and other similar services at all.

Ericco continues to innovate and research, and has developed a product ER-MIMU-01 that can be used in drones to perform the initial alignment of the drone launch system. ER-MIMU-01ER-MIMU-01 uses high-quality and reliable MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope, RS422 communicates with the outside, the baud rate can be flexibly set between 9600~921600, and the communication baud rate required by the user is set through the communication protocol. Equipped with X, Y, Z three-axis precision gyroscope, X, Y, Z three-axis accelerometer, with high resolution, it can output the original hexadecimal complement of X, Y, Z three-axis gyroscope and accelerometer through RS422 code data (including gyroscope hexadecimal complement) numerical temperature, angle, accelerometer hexadecimal temperature, acceleration hexadecimal complement); it can also output gyroscope and accelerometer data that have been processed by underlying calculations Floating point dimensionless value.

On the other hand, since UAVs adopt vision-based positioning and collision avoidance principles, OIS/EIS can be used as another input that can be used for flight stability.

Drones are also popular for carrying on-board cameras for aerial still pictures and videos. With the help of IMU and OIS/EIS software, any drone can be turned into a high-resolution camera. If you want to know more about imu, please click the link below.
