I am sure there are many more links on this topic.

I have asked the same questions!

I have worked with the “buggy” BNO055 and other IMUs.

Thanks I’ll look into that

Everything on those pages explain what it is but I’m mainly looking for the coding on how to put it in processing I have the acc xyz and the time and the gyro xyz plus magnetic xyz in arduino. I have full rotation on my processing with the roll pitch and yaw from angular attitude but I want to add velocity and position to my processing code. Also I read on the gaming page that the wii controllers counter the error of velocity and position by adding regular resets so I need to put that in also but I’m unsure on the coding side I think I know a little but I need more info I’ve looked on alot of stuff and have some code but I’ve gotta work it into my code for the sensor I have coded.

I’ve worked with the BNO055. I also have a multiwii that uses an MPU6050. The multiwii does what it sounds like Halfrican911 wants to do. The multiwii project had a lot of contributors and did a good job.

Yea I ended up moving to blender in processing I did make 2 blocks that tracked perfectly I just couldn’t figure out the rest um using mpu 9250 just a high precision data algorithms

I also figured out that it’s dead reckoning I need using the accelerometer and quaternions to calculate “position” in a virtual space assuming that when you stop you are at rest and a new point

Hello,

There is some good stuff here that may be of interest:  
[EuclideanSpace - Mathematics and Computing](https://www.euclideanspace.com/)

> This site looks at mathematics and how it can be computed.

Yea thats a really awesome site but my main thing now is taking the data and making it rotate around a parented sensor I tried to use processing but It just alot I turned to blender but I’m having all the same issues
