Re: IMU sensor feat. digital motion processing

Evaluation software has been downloaded for the iNEMO and the available STEVAL-MKI108V2L3GD20 and LSM303DLHC 9 axis module for a standard DIL24 socket which was also purchased.

Re: IMU sensor feat. digital motion processing

Don't know if this is what you are looking for: STMicroelectronics has a series of chips and proto boards for under $35. This one is digital, I2C, and 9 axis. http://www.st.com/web/en/resource/technical/document/datasheet/DM00027543.pdf http://www.st.com/st-web-ui/static/active/en/resource/technical...

Re: IMU sensor feat. digital motion processing

This Microinfinity IMU/Gyro has both USB and RS-232 interfaces, maybe it can be interfaced to the EV3 Brick.
