Hi,

I want to do “dead reckoning” with pixhawk (position tracking/determination JUST by using the IMU).

Has anybody tried this and/or know a good tool for it to compare it with e.g. GPS position tracking?

Thank you very much.

Hello,  
Has anyone followed up on this? It would be great to get some additional information on “dead reckoning”.
