• MinIMU-9 + Arduino AHRS

  This Arduino program (sketch) allows an Arduino-compatible board like an A-Star connected to a MinIMU-9 v6 or AltIMU-10 v6 (or older versions of those boards) to function as an attitude and heading reference system, calculating estimated roll, pitch, and yaw angles from sensor readings that can be visualized with a 3D test program on a PC. It is based on the work of Jordi Munoz, William Premerlani, Jose Julio, and Doug Weibel.

• minimu9-ahrs software for Raspberry Pi

  This is a program for reading sensor data from Pololu IMU boards over I²C. It was written for and tested on the Raspberry Pi, but it will probably also work on similar embedded Linux boards that support I²C.
