An Arduino Library for the x-IMU3 GUI, IMU Data Visualisation Tool

IMUs with 3 sensors each measuring 3-axes, pump out a lot of data. It can be difficult to work out how your IMU is performing, which is why we wrote the Reefwing Configurator (Figure 1) to help us visualise the data. However, you don’t have to write your own data visualisation tool, x-io Technologies have already done it for you (Figure 2)!

To demonstrate communication with the x-IMU3 GUI, we will use boards from the Arduino Nano 33 BLE family. These all include an IMU to provide us with sample data to display.
