Ivensense are apparently releasing their new IXS series gyros, giving pitch (X) and yaw (Z) angular rate sensors (aka gyro) in 500 deg/s and 2000 deg/s specs. Supposedly destined for Wiimote Motion Plus adapters.
Also being released are single axis Z sensors (ISZ range).
This means with two IXS sensors, or an IDG+ISZ along with a tri axis accelerometer you've got a 6DOF IMU without naffing around with vertical mounted boards.....huzzah!!
No word on pricing yet, can the good people at Sparkfun have a look into a bulk purchase and put them on the site please? (also include single chips for those of us who don't want to use breakout boards).
While you at it Sparkfun, is there another shipment of the ADXL345 accelerometer chips coming in soon? (the cool ones with SPI i/f and FIFO buffer).
