Makers, hobbyists and developers that enjoy building projects using the Arduino programming platform using Arduino Leonardo or small development boards, may find a new IMUduino worth more investigation.
The small IMUduino Arduino Leonardo powered board is currently the world’s smallest Arduino Leonardo compatible board that includes integrated wireless motion and orientation sensing technology.
The IMUduino Arduino Leo board is equipped with a ATMEGA32u4, Bluetooth LE: Nordic nRF8001, InvenSense MPU6050 Six-Axis (Gyro/Accelerometer) and Honeywell HMC5883L 3-Axis Digital Compass IC
The IMUduino weighs just 2.7g and is capable of transmitting data to and from your Android or iOS smartphone using Bluetooth Loan Energy connectivity. Its creators Femtoduino
explain a little more about the boar dan its measurement specialties MS561101BA03-50 Barometer/Altimeter Sensor High resolution mode, 10cm :
“IMUduino – The smallest Arduino Leo powered board! Bluetooth LE, 10DoF IMU. Build apps w/ HTML/JS for Android and iPhone! Did we mention the on-board IMU gives you real-time spatial 3D orientation/motion data? Another interesting feature: You can build apps for the IMUduino using HTML and JavaScript thanks to PhoneGap or Cordova and our sample app!”
The IMUduino project is currently over on the Kickstarter crowd funding website looking to raise $17,955 in pledges, so if you think the IMUduino Arduino Leo board is something you could use in your projects, visit the Kickstarter website via the link below now to make a pledge and help the IMUduino become a reality.
