Hi, what is the format of the output data of the Sparkfun Sensor Stick?
Where electronics enthusiasts find answers.

What exactly is it showing? How do I see the pitch, roll, yaw data?

The output would seem to be a complicated telemetry stream whose content depends on the state of the copter. It may have the sensor stick readings buried in the stream but there's more to it than just that data.They are not yet connected to a quadcopter. I am now trying to be able to read the data because I want to display the data on some indicators (heading indicator, attitude indicator). And to do that, I have to decode Remy DO's stream? Are there other simpler ways I can do it?
What is it that you're trying to do, read a sensor stick or decode the Remy DO's Multi-Rotor Aerial Vehicle telemetry stream ?

And to do that, I have to decode Remy DO's stream?Yup. Moreover those particular variables are calculated quantities, based in part, from the sensor stick output. Reading the stick alone won't get you them.

If you follow the comments at the top of the files, you'll find a website and a forum dedicated to this software package. There you might learn of an app that runs on your phone that, among other things, displays the output data. There's inferences to a PC program that preceded it. You might learn a lot from that program.
