Zeppelin II

Zeppelin II is a quad-rotor flying platform, an improved version of Zeppelin.

Zeppelin II also uses the self-made low-cost Strapdown Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) similar to Zeppelin, however it has three gyroscopes, three accelerometers and two magnetometers.  The magnetometers compensate the yaw drift.  Soon a GPS will also be incorporated which will allow Zeppelin II to do complete autonomous way-point navigation.
