Thanks

Invensense MPU-9250 (9-axis sensor).

Plus an on-board 32-bit ARM microcontroller, providing motion processing and calibration algorithms for accelerometers, gyros and magnetometers. Minimal yaw drift due to filtering/fusion algorithms. UART, SPI, I2C and USB interfaces. Open source hardware and firmware. C++, Java and Labview libraries for the Roborio will be available, too.

They are currently showing "out of stock". Do you believe that is incorrect, or is it possible that they've sold out already? Will you be able to resupply them "quickly" if that's the case? To me, "quickly" (given that we're at the start of build season) would be within two weeks.

They should be available at Andymark in about one week. Andymark is recommending interested parties click on the "email when available" link to be informed when they are available.

Awesome, any plans to offer official Python support?

We'll be providing Java, C++ and Labview on the Roborio, and we also will provide sources for apps in Java (Processing) and C# on a PC.

If you would like to discuss Python development, please contact me at scott@kauailabs.com. You'll need to decide if you want to interface serially (UART/USB), I2C or SPI.

Cool, thanks. Out of interest what arm platform are you using (Si Labs, ST etc)?
