IMU - Research IMU's and determine one to buy

[Aidan-Sheedy]

Motivation/Description ⛰️

Some initial research has been done on inertial measurement units, but we need to decide what unit we want to purchase and determine what requirements they need, as well as what characteristics they have.

Next Steps 🚶

• [x] Review requirements of the IMU system
• [x] Create a top 3-5 list of options to purchase
  • [x] Determine if a 9-axis (with included magnetometer) or a 6-axis (without magnetometer) is preferable/better
  • [ ] Add each top 5 option to the IMU documentation under section 3.0 Existing Technology
• [ ] Review with @Aidan-Sheedy and make final decision, update design document with new details and specifications.

Supporting Material and Resources 📖

• Potential Options (expensive)
• Potential Options (cheap)
• IMU Documentation

Definition of Done 💯

A decision has been made as to which IMU to purchase, all documentation is updated, and the item has been purchased or is in the process of being purchased
