Roll, Pitch, and Yaw

How is Controlling an Airplane or Robotic Different than Controlling a Car or Boat?

Stability and control are much more complex for an airplane, which can move freely in three dimensions, than for cars or boats, which only move in two. A change in any one of the three types of motion affects the other two.

Imagine three lines running through an airplane and intersecting at right angles at the airplane’s center of gravity.

  • Rotation around the front-to-back axis is called Roll.
  • Rotation around the side-to-side axis is called Pitch.
  • Rotation around the vertical axis is called Yaw.

SparkFun 9 Degrees of Freedom – Sensor Stick

The SparkFun 9DOF Sensor Stick is a very small sensor board with 9 degrees of freedom. It includes the ADXL345 accelerometer, the HMC5883L magnetometer, and the ITG-3200 MEMS gyro. The “Stick” has a simple I2C interface and a mounting hole for attaching it to your project. Also, the board is a mere allowing it to be easily mounted in just about any application.

Movement

Accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers are the three main sensors we use for detecting motion and orientation. We can sense motion with an accelerometer.

Accelerometers are used to measure acceleration, that means linear motion in X, Y or Z. They can be used to detect when they are being moved around, detect motion, shock or vibration. They can also be used to detect gravitational pull in order to detect orientation or tilt.

Gyroscopes are used to measure rotational motion in X, Y or Z. They are often paired with accelerometers for inertial guidance systems, 3D motion capture and inverted pendulum type applications.

Magnetometers can sense where the strongest magnetic force is coming from, generally used to detect magnetic north, but can also be used for measuring magnetic fields. When combined with accelerometers and gyroscopes you can stabilize orientation calculations and also determine orientation with respect to the Earth.

Many 6-DoF sensors, which combine accelerometer and gyroscope or compass, accelerometer and magnetometer, and 9-DoF sensors that have 9DoF IMU accelerometers and gyroscopes and magnetometers.

SparkFun Triple Axis Magnetometer Breakout – HMC5883L

This is a breakout board for Honeywell’s HMC5883L, a 3-axis digital compass. Communication with the HMC5883L is simple and all done through an I2C interface. There is no on-board regulator, so a regulated voltage of 2.16-3.6VDC should be supplied. The breakout board includes the HMC5883L sensor and all filtering capacitors as shown. The power and 2-wire interface pins are all broken out to a 0.1″ pitch header.

Magnetometers have a wide range of uses. The most common include using the chip as a digital compass to sense direction or using them to detect ferrous (magnetic) metals. Magnetic fields and current go hand-in-hand. When current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is created. This is the basic principle behind electromagnets. This is also the principle used to measure magnetic fields with a magnetometer. The direction of Earth’s magnetic fields affects the flow of electrons in the sensor, and those changes in current can be measured and calculated to derive a compass heading or other useful information.
