This course aims to teach students how to work with 9-axis inertial measurement units using Arduino. By the end of the course, learners will be able to connect, calibrate, and utilize the BNO055 9-axis sensor effectively. They will also gain skills in understanding accelerometers, gyros, low pass filters, and PID control systems. The course employs a hands-on approach, combining theoretical lessons with practical exercises and projects. This course is intended for individuals interested in learning about sensor technology, Arduino programming, and applications of inertial measurement units in various projects.
