Project: Electronic Directional Gyro


Electronic Directional Gyro
Charles O'Neill
2004

This project developed an one degree-of-freedom electronic aircraft directional
gyro (DG). The mechanical inertial gyro in a 1960’s vintage DG was removed
and replaced with an stepping motor driven by a micro controller connected to
an electronic rate gyro.
