IMU modules

Introduction

Some Arduino IMU modules. The differences etc. . .

Theory

IMU consists of accelerometers, gyroscopes and perhaps magnetometers.

There are N different vendors.

• AKK8963: 3-axis magnetometer
• AK09918: Electronic compass.

• BMP280: Pressure, Temp.

• ICM20600: 3-axis gyro; 3-axis accelerometer.

• MPU 6050: 6 dof Dataleaf: https://www.i2cdevlib.com/devices/mpu6050#source
• MPU 6500: 3-axis gyro; 3-axis acc;
• MPU 9150
• MPU 9250: 9 dof; 16 bit. Contains MPU6500 and AKK8963)

• XIAO nRF52840 Sense: small IMU
