Re: Open Source IMU designed for FIRST robotics

I just bought an IMU from newegg (probably not a very good one because it was like $15, but its worth a shot). I was going to test the effect of the magnetic field of the motors vs the distance from the motors. Maybe you could test that?

Also, I was going to attach my IMU to an arduino and have it process it all there, then send the processed data via I2C to the CRIO. Im guessing this is just connected by serial to the CRIO? It wouldn't make sense to use up all the ports on the DSC for digital in.

What libraries are you including with it? Labview, C, Java? And what are the specs of the sensors? (+-3gs, +- 2000 degrees/sec)?

And last thing, does it compensate for temperature? I know that the gyro I tested drifted a whole lot, and when tuned, it would untune because the temperature effected it.
