Designed and built an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) able to stabilize and autonomously fly small robotic aircraft. This included circuit board design, layout, construction, firmware, and proprietary sensor fusion algorithms. IMU also included tunable PID loops and waypoint navigation capabilities, including automatic takeoff and landing.

The airplane you see pictured here, once thrown, automatically takes off and flies to waypoints, and will land automatically as well.

Unlike the Tiny Guidance Engine where I worked along side 2 other engineers (Aerodynamics guru and the project manager), I had to wear all the hats on this project, being the only engineer.

And also unlike the TGE, this IMU is fully temperature calibrated, uses Quaternions, and a unique sensor fusion algorithm I designed, with which is very easy to visualize. (Typically Kalman filtering is used).
