Combined Accelerometer & Gyroscope

This is from my Master thesis, where I'm building and attitude refference system (ARS) for pitch/roll/heave and vibration compensation for echo location systems.

I've buildt two kinds of accelerometer sensor boards already, based on Freescale and ST-microelectronics chips. The latest addition is the gyroscope board, based on a chip from Invensense. And here they are, finally merged (with the Freescale accelerometer board).



I'll be using Labview and Matlab to implement my ARS algorithm now.

Later I will build a power and interface board, and of course the micro-controller board, making the final system a four stack fully modular design.

Happy Hacking!
