freescale (3 axis) coupled with 2 rate gyros ADIS16080 from
analog device (1 axis each)  Implementation of a miniature
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) on a dsPIC microcontroller with
Mathworks (tm) rapid prototyping tools coupled with the dsPIC
blockset. Simulink is used to both simulate and generate the
embedded software that is downloaded onboard the dsPIC
microcontroller. This IMU estimates pitch and roll angles using
two different types of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS)
sensors: rate gyro and accelerometers.  All files: simulink
model, matlab script and data files (.mat) can be downloaded
from the Download section at the bottom of this page.    The
micro Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) It is an attitude
indicator (ADI) or artificial horizon also called gyro horizon
that estimates its attitude about both axis: pitch and roll. The
electronics parts are:  The first part settle the inh
