Hi Everyone, I want to post here all the sensors that I will select for my quadcopter project. I want suggestions for the following : - 3D Gyros : ITG-3200 - Accelerometer (tripple axis) : ADXL345 or BMA180 - Compass (tripple axis) : HMC5843 - GPS : LS20031 or Skytraq or ??? - Altimeter - Battery Monitor - Barometric Pressure : BMP085 - Temperature (oups, it looks like the Gyro has it included ...) : LM335A - Range finders (for autonomous flight, anti collision) Anything missing ? Mike.

- 3D Gyro : ITG-3200
- Accelerometer (tripple axis):ADXL345 or BMA180
- Compass (tripple axis) : HMC5843
- Temperature Sensor : LM335A

Thinking of using this for GPS : LS20031

Well if you want to make it really special add a Kinect like these guys at MIT:

LOL Well if you want to make it really special add a Kinect like these guys at MIT:

I have to find the link again but I saw something using laser doing the same lol I like the Kinect idea but first lets make it fly (read hover) then we'll add mode (follow path, return home, land from here, etc...)
