Hardware

As we known, the NyBoard V0 uses a MPU-6050 6-axis IMU motion sensor. This sensor is an 8-years old model and it's not recommend for new designs.

So we're going to develop a new model with the new IMU chip and other sensors.

New IMUs:

TDK (Invensense) :

ICM20600/ICM20602 : 6-Axis, No DMP, no Arduino library

ICM20948: 9-Axis with DMP, 1.8V not compatible to mainstream MCU (needs additional voltage transform circuit and individual1.8V LDO power supply ), sparkfun library without DMP support

ST:

LSM6DS3: 6 Axis, adafruit/sparkfun library

LSM9DS1: 9 Axis, adafruit/sparkfun library

We're not going to use an individual magnetic compass sensor as it will be interfered by strong magnetic field produced by servos.

A high performance MCU platform for NyBoard is under development too.

Any suggestions for IMU sensor or other sensors you want ? eg: temperature/humidity sensor? MP3 player module? Bluetooth or WiFi?
