I'm curious - how reliable are the solid state compass chips
available? I'm trying to find one that could be integrated into an RC
helicopter, and I'm concerned that things such as engine noise, metal on
the copter, etc will distort the readings. Does anyone have any info
about this?
Also, if can recommend any good (preferably motorola based) embedded
systems or single board computers that would also work well on an RC
copter, I'd love to hear some suggestions. :-) I'm not sure what type
of processing power is needed, but to start, I need a 19.2 baud serial
port, a few DAs, a bit of digital IO, a good watchdog timer, low power
consumption, and something that's fairly easy to develop on. (Yes, this
isn't quite related to the handy board, but I realize that there are
probably some great minds present here. :-)
Would the handy board be up to it? I wonder...

| (...) The Vector 2X has a calibration feature wherein you start a cal program, turn it 180 deg on its vertical axis, and finish the calibration program. That takes of metal fixed relative to the compass. Twirling blades and reciprocating pistons may (...) (28 years ago, 20-Oct-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
