I've been flying over 20ys. I help everyone. I know how to fly...but these products are great and fun. I just installed a 3axis in my laser. Didn't it make the plane fly by itself? No. What it did is take a few light quirks out if my plane and give me more confidence and willingness to try some things I've had trouble with. If you call it cheating you may have never really used them. Also some purple are in this for FUN. If someone needs something like this to help them keep planes in the air longer and have fun so be it. I've tried them,I don't need them, but I'll be adding a few more to my fleet once this brand is available. Unless your flying in competition, this is just a fun aid to have

It's all good. Typed words kinda suck sometimes. They read different than what we really intend to say. |

Great to see someone else getting into this space. I never did want to give Powerbox or Bavarian Deamon $300 for $25 worth of electronics.
High quality Gyros, Accelerometers, 32 bit CPU with all the fixins: http://www.getfpv.com/acro-naze32-fl...ght-angle.html (no cool SBus or Spektrum ports though!) High quality open source software to run it: http://cleanflight.com/ I look forward to doing a fly-off between Cleanflight, the Deamon and the Aura this summer. |

Can this unit be plug in between a receiver and a Smart Fly power expander board?

Might be fun to play with. I'm subscribed. And what is 6 axis? I understand roll/pitch/yaw...

rotational acceleration positioning around those three axis requires the addition of more axis than the standard 3. This is where the compass and acceleration hardware are integrated. It was described to be some time ago like this. Think of a plane coming in for landing on an aircraft carrier The plane moves in 3 dimensions of course, but so does the aircraft carrier. The plane is being buffeted by wind and the aircraft carrier is being moved by both wind and waves..hence the need/use of the accelerometer for extremely accurate positioning. So the other 3 axis are up/down, side to side, and forward and backward and are measured by a 3axis accelerometer Its not new tech. Been around for awhile. If you have one, your Nintendo Wii controller has this built in http://invensense.com/mems/gyro/sixaxis.html If you are still having trouble visualizing this...hold your hand out straight ahead of you, flat and parallel to the ground. Now move your hand up and down and back and forth and side to side all while keeping the pitch, roll and yaw of your hand perfectly straight and flat. That's what a 3axis accelerometer can measure and coupled with the other 3 axis of movement, along with some decent processing power and algorithms, gives extremely precise control. To me, it sounds as if Flex is planning this bit of kit to be able to control multirotors and FBL heli's in the near future as well. Perhaps they will have a GPS attachment with a compass chip built in coming soon |

The link to the afroflight board Gareth linked above is an example of a "6 axis gryo/accelerometer"
This one is a more capable unit that incorporates a 3 axis magnetometer(used as a compass) and a barometer sensor (the small silver rectangular can that has two holes in it is the baro chip) http://www.getfpv.com/full-naze32-fl...ght-angle.html Back to the Potenza Aura..if she proves to be a solid, easy to use 6 axis gyro..at $80 bucks, it will kill the Demon cortex sales given its $350 plus price tag. |

That explains it perfectly. I now understand. Thanks...
