Hello

I want to get 6DOF unit to connect with my arduino mega

I am using the arduino mega to interface with Max msp.

Now I want to connect a 6DOF motion sensor unit to the arduino to control parameters in Max Msp

the best way to program the arduino for max msp is to use the standard firmata, and therfore I would like a 6DOF unit where each vector, of the 6 gyroscope and accellerometer parameters, can be connected straigt to analog in on the arduino. for if I connect it through serial, it makes things more complex for then I need to start coding.

Therfore I am wondering if the outputs on the - IMU 6DOF Razor - Ultra-Thin IMU - device are analog outputs where each output represents one of the 6 motion sensors??

If not. Are there any 6DOF units you sell that have straight analog outputs?

All the best. Edson :)
