Review on Raspberry Pi BerryGPS-IMU: Enhanced 10DOF GPS 🌍 Module with Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, and Barometric/Altitude Sensor by Brian Healy

I took this unit to look at these little I2C IMU sensors and see what they can do. The attached image shows the Grafana dashboard I use to visualize data. I wrote a script that collects data and forwards it to Logstash and then to Kafka and Elasticsearch to quench my thirst for data science. I think the next steps are to learn about data smoothing as the raw data seems to contain a lot of noise. . As far as I can tell, it's electromagnetic or electrostatic noise. My shaft is very firmly attached to the cinder block basement wall, so it shouldn't show that much movement. That being said, the noise level is around 1/1000G, so this level of accuracy is very suitable for pretty much any robot/drone/airplane application you can think of.
