Re: Gyro math filters

It isn't possible to use an accelerometer for measuring yaw rotation. A magnetometer should be used instead since it's essentially a compass. I'm not sure where you could get one that's easy to set up or use. My team got one from SparkFun, but it requires a 3.3V source; we haven't spent enough time figuring out how to power it yet.
