Anni

  • IMU not verified :(((.

    • https://youtu.be/C0jD1c0x8QQ

    • To try

      • confirm i2c waveform/triggering (maybe I just messed something up). → not getting read handshake?

      • has waveforms from Aidan.

      • Try using SPI

    • BMX160 works on Arduino?

  • MPU 6050 seems to work over i2c, not sure why bmx does not work.

    • will begin tuning on this…
