MATLAB/Simulink Embedded tools are used to design, compile, and download directly into the target. An update rate of 100Hz can be achieved using a Microchip 16 bit dsPIC microcontroller. %K Attitude estimation %K embedded systems %K extended kalman filter %K MEMS sensors %U http://www.ijcee.org/papers/734-ET0016.pdf
