10 DOF Mems IMU Sensor (Arduino Compatible) wiki- DFRobot

Introduction

At the beginning,the inertial measurement unit is an electronic device that measures and reports on a craft's velocity, orientation, and gravitational forces, using a combination of accelerometers,gyroscopes, and magnetometers. Now IMUs are commonly used in the Human-computer interaction(HCI), navigational purposes and balancing technology used in the Segway Personal Transporter as we all known.

Version Upgrade: V2.0 has upgraded the barometer sensor IC to BMP280. Please visit V2.0 WiKi
