Combined with other relevant sensor module mounted in the film wing aircraft up to the semi-autonomous flapping flight control. Regrading the 15-gram weight flapping wing micro air vehicles(FWMAV),this study presents the application of the M1AP chip developed by Tamkang university in 2015 to the semi autonomous flight control accordingly. M1AP chip combines the Atmega micro-controller-unit(MCU)which is Arduino-embedded and some MEMS sensors including inertial-measurement-unit(IMU),compass and pressure sensor. The total weight of M1AP only 1.2gram and with I2C digital input/output part. Two flight tests including orientation control and light-trigger takeoff are demonstrated successfully. The former orientation control allows the FWMAV to do the to-and-fro cruising in a pre-programed manner. Through the 3D stero-photography checking, the orientation deviation after 1 round of to-and-fro is about 20°
