The Design and Error Compensation Research of 3-Axis Electronic Compass Installed in Small Muti-Rotors Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Article Preview

Abstract:

A 3-axis electronic compass is designed for small multi-rotors unmanned vehicle. The STM32F103 is used as E-compass’ CPU, and ADXL345 and MAG3110 is used as the acceleration and geomagnetic sensor. The E-compass’ software is programmed by using IAR EWARM. For outdoor applications, the ellipsoid assumption theory is simply proved and used for E-compass’ self-calibration. By using the zero-bias adjustment for pre-calibration and the fitellipsoid compensation for precise calibration, the E-compass’ precision is nearly 1 degree.
