So now that I have delved into the depths of 2’s compliment and also made sure I was using my incoming data in the correct order for the BitConverter, the Complementary filter from NuclearProjects.com, my IMU is working perfectly.
In the video I am using the Altitude indicator that Jesse wrote to test it with. (He even made the full source code available on CodeProject).
He has even implemented some calculations that now allows TriRot to track the z-Axis as well for Yaw control. Although this implementation is only based on Gyro’s (ITG-3200) and Accelerometers (ADXL345) ,which could drift over time, it is holding rock solid in tests so far.
The C# code that makes the above possible:
1: using System;
2: using Microsoft.SPOT;

4: using System.Threading;

I have now also finally updated my PartsList after noticing that I had never added the Gyro or the Accelerometer to the it.
Next steps would be to buy the Transmitter and Receiver pair and a PPM Encoder for interfacing into TriRot's Interface board.
