Gyro Vs. Accelerometer

I build my quadcopter from scratch....Used Arduino Mega on board and Uno for RC with HMTR for transmission.

Now, during flight, I got to realize that to maintain stability, IMU sensors such as gyrosensor and accelormeter are the most...

So, if have to choose between these two sensors, which one is the most to control its stability to hover, and how it can be interfaced!

Need fast and better suggestions as being a dummy...

Thanks, all
 
Well, thanks for the reply...
But, I'm stuck in my mind is...How the calculations from IMU be implemented to make the quads stable...
Actually, I'm not able to visualize that, "Ok, I got the angle and now greater than this will do this and that....!!!".....
I dont know, where to sort out this...

But, excepts that anyone can help me here....

What software are you running on your Arduino?

wou!...Im totally unaware of the software package....
I'm just building from Arduino IDE, using <servo.h> library....
If I'm in a wrong track, or if I can get this solved in easy way with other libraries...then suggest me quickly...
My simple "if-else codes" are uploaded, which I'm using to fly my quad...with the remote control made own...which is still in modification phase...

Sorry for the long delay in responding. This thread got buried.

I'm not programmer, so I definitely can't help with any programming questions. Hopefully someone see's this and jumps in and can help. Or maybe you find the answer out on your own.

Nice scratch built quad!!
 
its all done....my project is completed; though not 100% output, but its fine....
i solved my earlier problem, but it took me been too late to study more, so couldn't able to perform much finishing work....

However, thanks for responding.......!:)
 
Great! I'm glad to hear. If you ever take a video of your copter flying, please post it. It would be interesting to see!
