A new version of the ArduIMU series is going to be stocked very soon. The ArduIMU v3 is the latest in the low cost and small IMUs which is arduino compatible (ATmega328 @16Mhz).This IMU includes the new MPU-6000 which has a tripple axis accelerometer and gyro built in. The MPU-6000 also takes care of sensor fusing with 24bit ADC sampling. This IMU also includes the HMC-5883L tripple axis magnetometer. You can use this for many applications that require motion measurement, such as a multi-rotor helicopter, model rockets, and many other robotics applications.

MPU-6000 features
- Digital-output of 6 or 9-axis MotionFusion data in rotation matrix, quaternion, Euler Angle, or raw data format
- Tri-Axis angular rate sensor (gyro) with a sensitivity up to 131 LSBs/dps and a full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000dps
- Tri-Axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
- Reduced settling effects and sensor drift by elimination of board-level cross-axis alignment errors between accelerometers and gyroscopes
- Digital Motion Processing™ (DMP™) engine offloads complex MotionFusion, sensor timing synchronization and gesture detection
- MotionApps™ Platform support for Android, Linux, and Windows, with Windows Phone platforms on the roadmap
- Digital-output temperature sensor
- Digital input on FSYNC pin to support video Electronic Image Stabilization and GPS
- Programmable interrupt supports gesture recognition, panning, zooming, scrolling, free fall interrupt, high-G interrupt, zero-motion detection, tap detection, and shake detection
- Full Chip Idle Mode Supply Current: 5µA
- On-chip timing generator with ±1% frequency variation over full temperature range
- User self test
- 10,000g shock tolerant
