How to LEARN and USE quaternions
Переглядів 1,4 тис.6 місяців тому
Resources for learning quaternions and applying them for PID control. It also includes a simulation of a direct quaternion PID controller I made. This was a bit of a different format than what I've done before; I hope it was helpful! In the coming months, I'm planning to have more updates regarding the rocket I'm working on, so stay tuned!

TVC Test 1
Переглядів 5 тис.Рік тому
Successful Static Fire test of Eagle TVC Gimbal, ByteLyte prototype PCB, and Anchor test mount. Used an Estes F15 Motor. The goal was to verify the mechanical strength of the mount and the functionality of other systems. The Gimbal survived throughout the entire test and showed no signs of cracks upon inspection, indicating it successfully performed. The prototype worked nearly perfectly except...
1:05 The rocket knows where it is by knowing where it isn't
Awesome work!
nice one
I know that feeling of having to print SEVERAL TIMES the same thing
Nice work!
banger
This is very interesting. But could you do something about the audio? It sounds like you are far away from the microphone
just got a new mic so audio should hopefully be much better in the next video
I just came here from the rocketry discord. Great work!
Hey I'm a high school student too doing kinda the same thing I'm working on my first pcb using mainly breakout boards but i was wonder how did you do your voltage regulation circuitry and how many volts and amps it can handle. In my designs i am trying to use a smd switching regulator to handle higher current and volts but i was just wondering what you have done with yours.
In this I use a 5V 3.5A Buck for servos, and a 3.3V LDO for the sensors and main IC.
@@TheGarrettR thank you that is very helpful.
This is sick! Awesome work Garrett, keep it up!!
yooo this is super cool, good stuff
These keep getting better lessgooo
Nice!
nice job!
That's cool
I just wanted to say that you did an excellent job of explaining quaternions. It was one of the better concise explanations I've heard to date. You gave an understandable explanation without watering it down to the point of falsehood. It's not an easy needle to thread. Well done!
Hey, good work, man! As I can see, all available fusion algorithms on BNO055 use accelerometer. Is it possible to configure ACC gain for sensor fusion? I don't think that ACC should be used for the TVC rocket since the rocket is flying, and the ACC does not provide any usable data for orientation. That could be your problem with the rocket if you didn't account for it. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell or test how exactly the sensor fusion will work in the case of a rocket. The product flyer claims it could be used for drones (and so, probably rockets, too), but at the same time, its sensor fusion offers only a 100Hz data rate, which is very low for a drone. Alternatively, you can easily write an orientation estimator based purely on gyro data + quaternions (no EKF needed), which works very well.
yoo I was wondering how to orient something upright, and this has exactly the information I need! I dream of building a rocket league car in real life, that can fly as well, but I'm sure it's a lot tougher than I imagine. If possible could you please list some things that might be important for me to learn during this project? Thanks!
Glad I could help. It would definitely be challenging, but not impossible. Some important things are control system design, mechanical design (CAD, etc.), and programming (likely C++). Ensure when you start this project, you have guidance from others to make sure it's done safely. Best of luck!
Very good video bravo😊
HELP, I still don't get quaternions
AP as in "advanced placement"...? Is this something you did in high school?? If so, I'm absolutely blown away by this. This paper deals with content typically not taught until the 2nd/3rd year of engineering programs. Hell, I'm impressed by the fact that you even know how to use LaTeX in high school. Moreover, I took a look at the TeX file, you're not just using LaTeX, you're using it at an intermediate/high level too. Even by undergraduate standards, this is impressive. I wish I would've had your maturity and drive when I was your age. Incredible work! If my assumption that this was work you did in high school is correct, I have a question: Where did you find the time to learn everything you needed to do this? e.g. the physics, the math, the typesetting, etc.
Yup, this was my AP Research Paper (senior in high school)! Thank you for the kind words! For the learning aspect, I just allocated a ton of time to reading research papers and watching videos. Most of them I didn't read fully, would just make tons of searches with slightly related terms and skim a ton of abstracts until something clicked. I also got extremely lucky and had an expert at a local university who helped me work through some things and coordinate sample testing. As for the typesetting, most of that was taken care of by an ASME journal template, all I had to do is figure out some table formatting and citation stuff, and then the rest of it was just tweaked with trial and error.
"Hi, my name is Garrett, and I'm building a rocket controlled by imaginary numbers" That tells me everything I need to know. *subscribe*
7:45 yeah, could definitely use some kind of Kalman filter - altitude should not be jumping by 200 meters in a fraction of a second. If this is due to the pullups issue you mentioned in another video where you were gonna go with a software workaround, it might be worth scratching off the traces somewhere and adding actual pullups instead. The baro is physically shielded right? Cotton wool etc.
Yeah, V2 will definitely have that. Working on a completely new flight computer atm. As for the baro, not sure what you're referring to that's not something I've heard of people doing. The baro (the TE MS5611) has a stainless steel cap, if that's what you're talking about.
@@TheGarrettR No, I mean shielding it from wind with cotton wool or the like. This is very common when building a drone with altitude hold features (Ardupilot etc), and I would think it's even more important in very fast vehicles like a rocket. These barometers are also affected by sunlight believe it or not, so the ideal environment is a dark little box. Can't say whether this is actually related to your dataspike but it wouldn't hurt to shield it anyway. If I put links here my post will probably be marked as spam, but you can google for threads in the Ardupilot forum with these titles: Altitude hold difference between Dusk and Daylight flying? Arducopter barometer all over the place Barometer and other sensors spikes smoothing I was also thinking it might be worth making some kind of catapult to test these sensors and your code, especially once you add the KF since those can be some wacky things to get right. The catapult will give you a similar effect to a rocket launch but it's much quieter and non-flammable, easy to repeat, and you know it can't go too far.
even a random kid on youtube is hiding his Intellectual Property lol
why is bro lowk majestic...
Acapella Science did a _Hamilton_ parody for William Rowan Hamilton, the inventor of quaternions. In it there's a line: "...and no one uses my quaternions, but just you wait, just you wait!" It's a real banger, y'all should look it up.
Go the next step and use Clifford Algebra and Geometric Calculus.
Garret.......is that the TVC system from BPS Space ? Or your own
It's my own
1:27 an extended WHAT filter?
An extended Kalman filter
cum filter
Good effort 👍🏼
Nice video. well done
gosh you'e cute
What an interesting name for the flight computer! Very unique lol
This is honestly really cool and I wish you luck. But it's so stupid you can't talk about math or Uncle Sam will get angry.
Awesome work!
A gyro from RC hobby to trigger the chute.
awesome project and pretty sweet editing. it may be worth it to test the gimble and the parameters with a pressure washer nozzle instead of rocket motor in a semi-static test stand. mount the rocket by its centre of rotation on a swivel and you get infinite flight time. possibly being able to adjust the PID values mid test. best of luck🚀
That's a great idea, I'll definitely check that out
@@TheGarrettR you will have the best watered lawn known to man
3:53 multiplying a quaternion the conjugate of it gets the real part i think, did you mean multiplicative inverse?
If the quaternion is a unit quaternion, I believe the conjugate and the inverse of a quaternion should be the same
What you are using as rocket body ??
its probably concrete forming tube available in some hardware stores or some packing tube.
I am just using a cardboard 74mm thin wall airframe from apogee.
@@TheGarrettR my guess was rong
Loved the failure analysis. If you are looking for better servos I’d recommend the JX CLS6336HV. They’re a bit heavier than what you have but they are super fast.
Yeah those look like great servos. Unfortunately I'm unlikely to be able to use them at the current size, so I'll have to stick to micro servos (planning on switching to the MG90B next). Maybe in the future I'll consider upping the size of the rocket.
I salute the humility🫡 awesome content man. Kept me retained the whole time🔥 Keep going!
4:34 The Wii melody saved it! 😇
I wanna talk to you about these things so could you help me plz ?
What is it exactly you're looking for advice on?
@@TheGarrettROh thanks for your reply first. I just want to know in detail how you do all of the work like code stuff how you programmed it using quaternions in detail. Like if u are able to give me a little code I would be able to understand it better. And how did u do the thrust vectoring ? Plz help me 🥺
@@TheGarrettRsorry for the late reply
@@TheGarrettRand can I have your Instagram to talk 🙏
My previous video details quaternions quite nicely, and links resources that explain it better than I can. For thrust vectoring, I highly recommend looking at what BPS space did - he has many high quality videos on the topic.
Great job bruv
Appreciate your work, keep going!
Keep going mate I liked this video so im subbed
I guess I'll follow this channel for the upcommin years now
Hi dude i m a sophomore electrical engineer, who wants to focus on control engineering, i had a conversation with a former gnc engineer. And he told me to study some group theory to understand quarternions. I didn't know what either of these things were. While being overwhelmed by heavy math. I found you bro. Thanks
Gotta love quarternions in control systems
THIS IS SICK
