maximum rate of turn

[cobaltdan 0]

i am working on a new sensor for our datalogger that will record position, 360 degrees in all axis.
yaw, pitch and roll. for gyro calibration i need to set the filtering algorithms with the maximum turn rate they may see.

i would like to solicit information on all types of canopies. anyone willing to help would be appreciated:

with video of your canopy performing spirals. count frame by frame each 360.

post back your canopy type, wing load, type of spiral (riser or toggle), exact # of frames per 360 (preferrably post frame counts from several successive 360's).


thanks,

sincerely,

What about toggle positions? Some people will use more than others

i am really only interested in maximum rates.

i.e. if you calibrate a gyro for 300 degrees per second, and you subject it to 400 degrees per second the overanged data from the gyro screws up your filtering math and the system will spit out garbage for a while, even after the turn is finished.

when done the unit will be able to record and play back a complete acount of a canopy flight. i.e. 3d position and orientation and riser force. different canopy flight characteristics can be compared with a virtual playback of actual on a computer.

so crank hard and post results !

thanks,

I'll give it a go this weekend weather permitting
