Tutorial - Accelerometer and Gyro Buying Guide | about a year ago

Thanks! I’ll have to translate things from UAVs into my biomechanics world, but it looks like most of the work is already done.

Product ROB-09238 | about a year ago

I used these motors in a drawing machine installation we called SADbot: the Seasonally Affected Drawing robot. Check out the Instructable here: http://www.instructables.com/id/SADbot-the-Seasonally-Affected-Drawing-robot/
Did anyone else have problems with these burning out after a while? We had the installation on daily for about 6 hours, and over the course of about a month and a half had to replace 2 or 3 of them. A few students of mine used them as well and they burnt out after much less usage.

Great guide! Do you have any preferred references for using the raw data from the accelerometers and gyros (and magnetometers) to get position, velocity, and orientation? I’m guessing the DIY Drones community might have some of this done already? I have a commercial IMU unit I can get the raw data from, but their calculations are “proprietary” – I’m thinking of scrapping that and starting with one of these!

Sounds like a great way to roll Instructables and Thingiverse’s inventory feature into one extremely useful, modular collection. Great idea! I just registered to help out.
