Aliased from IMU.

An Inertial Measurement Unit or IMU sensor uses a combination of accelerometers, gyroscopes and magnetometers to report on the force, angular rate and orientation of a body in motion.

Comparison of various IMUs:#

Adafruit's "learn" pages include a comparison of the following boards:

  • L3GD20 3 Axis MEMS Gyroscope - ST
  • FXAS21002C 3 Axis MEMS Gyroscope - NXP
  • LSM9DS0 9 Axis* MEMS Sensor (Accel + Mag + Gyro) - ST
  • LSM9DS1 9 Axis* MEMES Sensor (Acce + Mag + Gyro) - ST
  • MPU-9250 9 Axis* MEMS Sensor (Accel + Mag + Gyro) - Invensense
  • BMI055 6 Axis MEMS Sensor (Accel + Gyro) - Bosch (Used in the BNO055)
