I'm currently working on a project involving gyroscope sensors and their implementation with an autopilot program (specifically the same kind in toy helicopters). I am attempting to write an auto pilot program for a remote control helicopter to accomplish simple tasks like hoovering,forward,backwards,left and right movements. I would eventually like to implement this into a payload delivery system for my senior project.
The problem I'm running in to is finding a good source that explains the internal parts/operations/programming/implementation of these gadgets. Has anyone attempted similar projects or had experience with this. Any credited links or sources would be a great help.
