Sparkfun was rendered as "bark fun". Guess they've visited your facility.<p>In the meantime, any chance of an episode that shows how to convert IMU data to reliable measurements? Or to get clean reliable positions from the Bosch devices? I have yet to find a device that doesn't vary all over the place, even sitting on a table inside a house on a concrete foundation.</p><p>A final request - the devices with magnetic sensors all want me to wave them around in some specific pattern to calibrate them, but the pattern is so ambiguously described that I'm never sure if I've done it right. A quick demo in a video would be helpful.</p></p>

You won't see it in a datasheet, but you will see it on the manufacturer's web page for the part, probably also the distro's (like Digikey) product page as well. They'll try to steer the demand for the first part to other parts while they gradually wind down production. Then after some time, the distro sends out an email that says "Last time buy!", and you know the end is near.</p>

However, I have a question: what does it mean when a part is listed as "do not use for a new design"? And how would one know it is listed that way? I did a simple Ctrl+F search in the data sheet for "do not" or "design" and couldn't find anything. Thanks!</p>
