Hello
We've bought the Atomic IMU - 6 Degrees of Freedom XBee Ready
(http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/produc ... ts_id=9184)
and the USB conector. I've installed the drivers and the Atomic Mixer for tests.
First thing we noticed is that the bars of the Atomic Mixer is inverted, in the acceleration values, the bars represent the axis, and the axis bars represents the acceleration. Problably a simple mistake in coding.
Right after, we noticed that the Z axis (Yaw) did not seems to work. We intend to use the IMU for head tracking, so the most important is to track the head turning left or right.
Illustration of the problem:
can someone give an explanation of what is happening. How can we fix this and get the true values of the Z axis?
