Sensors for finding heading

Sensors for finding heading

Well, finding heading basically help you to balance your quadrocopter.

They are two different ways that comes to my mind for now and I tried.

    1)Using three axis accelerometer with three axis gyroscope

          2)Using three axis accelerometer with three axis gyroscope and three axis magnetometer

I have used both methods but in first method I know everything although in second method I am not that sure, because I used 9 Degrees of Freedom - Razor IMU which has all three sensors. I never wrote my own program for it. It has few problems but in future I will go through it and solve them

If you are not that pro, I suggest you use the first method which is very simple.

I explain full detail about using method one in following link:
