[ ] following the datasheet and any online guides available, write a short Arduino program to read from the IMU. Should be able to do the following tasks:
[ ] read the acceleration of the IMU when moving
[ ] read the angular acceleration of the IMU when moving
[ ] read from the magnetometer (if available on IMU)
[ ] if there are any additional features available on the IMU, try and test them out as well
[ ] update the IMU documentation with the results - this should be a basic outline of how to access all features from the IMU using an Arduino.
[ ] upload the code to the GitHub - consult with @Aidan-Sheedy as to which directory is best
This task is done when the IMU has been successfully tested on an Arduino. Code should be added to GitHub and IMU documentation updated with how to read from the IMU.
Motivation/Description ⛰️
For the initial look into using the IMU, it is easier to test it out on Arduino than diving straight into STM32.
May need to be worked on in conjunction with https://github.com/queens-satellite-team/adcs/issues/52.
Next Steps 🚶

Definition of Done 💯
