New hardware!
After a long struggle (which isn’t over yet), my new hardware finally arrived:
Designed to be as small and lightweight as possible: the weight is 8.6grams with a size of 46×59mm. The cool thing is that the profile of this board is only 6mm thick. This makes it also perfect for small UAV’s.
This high-precision yaw rate gyro makes this board a nice candidate for your next quadrocopter as well :-)
Its features are an extention of my previous versions:
- 6DOF IMU (3 gyros and 3 accelerometers)
- 16-bit pressure sensor for height
- can control 6 servo
- RC-transmitter input through PPM or PWM (4 channels)
- a push button
- 2 LEDs
- 4MB flash for datalogging and configuration
- 256kB flash for code
- works with EB-85 GPS and other (4-pin) GPS modules
- connects to your PC using the standard FTDI USB data cable
- SPI, I2C, UART headers available for communication with other devices
And last but not least: the software
- Easy to use libraries for all hardware
- 11 simple demo applications for every hardware component
- a simple autopilot
- a more complex autopilot using FreeRTOS (work in progress)
- all code nicely documented
However, still a lot of work has to be done. Attitude estimation needs to be improved, and a nice configuration tool would rock! It would be great if some people would show interest to join me in this effort!
Interested in joining or just in the board? Contact me

Help is on it’s way!
Best Regards Tom! ;-)

iTwin is a two-piece bit of USB hardware that acts as a “cableless cable” allowing two computers to connect and share files as long as they have an Internet connection. There’s nothing to set up, since both halves of the device are paired together and stay constantly connected. Users just plug it in, and can begin dropping files large and small into a shared folder.
