Hey all, Sparkfun have a great intro page on choosing an Accel/Gyro/IMU, which goes through all of the various features that might be available… but it doesn’t really help you choose one of those things because there is no set of filters on the sales page that allows one to check of the properties one might prefer after reading that article:
For example, if I’d like to get one with a low range of Gs, and tilt detection that supports I2C that also has 2 axis gyro that is used to compensate for noise on the accel, how would I do that, other than reading every single board description? There are lots! Many of these are not available anymore, and there’s hundreds of “MICROE” ones which are indistinguishable by their names etc.
Is there a table / matrix of capabilities that will help choose? Based on the description above, anyone have a suggestion?
We’re actually doing a website re-design in background and hope to launch the features (specification checkboxes) mentioned shortly…but in the mean-time, perhaps sorting by popularity or price might point you toward the most likely candidates (my first guess is to point ya toward this one https://www.sparkfun.com/products/17871)
Thanks for the efforts to enhance the web with parametric search, that will be much appreciated!
