@ O-family
True, but I would hardly class 3D vector geometry as "advanced" Yes it needs some trigonometry, and possibly vector algebra, but these are easy in Bascom, and if you stick to single precision floating point ( about 6 digits of precision ), reasonably fast..
I have written programs to do such things to track a glider flight in realtime, with inputs from GPS, accelerometers, gyros and other sensors. Cycle time for a set of several hundred trig operations can be well under 100msec.

Hmm,
Measuring the position might be the harder of the several problems.

For rotational values a digital compass module will do, at least until the earth's magnetic field starts to fluctuate and reverse, but then problem's focus will shift anyway.
For elevation an angle/acceleration sensor is suitable, I would look out for IMU-quadrocopter hardware, BNO055 seems to be a nice one, breakout board https://www.adafruit.com/product/2472 |
