Re: New Sensors?
Yes. The new Invensense Motion Driver 6.0 beta release occurred yesterday. We are now developing the nav6's bigger brother, the nav9, by using the MPU-9250, and featuring an STM32 ARM MCU to host the Invensense MPL library, which only ships in binary form (forcing the move to a new processor).

This gives full 9-axis motion fusion, including:

- magnetic disturbance detection
- improved Magnetometer calibration, incl temperature shift correction
- better support for pre-match and factory calibration
- faster dynamic calibration

Also adding USB, I2C, SPI interface options.

Thinking of adding a CAN interface too, but not sure the extra circuitry keeps it within the budget of most FIRST teams.
