Simon Kerr commented on Chris Anderson's blog post 3D printed gyro-stabilized pan-tilt gimbal for the GoPro"Cool. Now can we daisy-chain a second one off the head of the first with higher sensitivity sensors to make the head movement even smoother (i.e. less susceptible to platform vibration and rapid movement). Would that work?"

New Sparkfun Toys - Atomic IMU 6 DoF
Posted on April 1, 2009 at 4:00pm 24 Comments 0 Likes
New IMU offered by Sparkfun here. I think this board has some great potential that could lead to some all singing, all dancing Arduino-native IMU.
The fact that this IMU is built around the ATMege 168 makes me think that it could be re-flashed to become some sort of "ArduIMU" board, and even run a ported version of the "Premerlani-Bizard robust direction… Continue
