The Arduino Uno, the successor to the Arduino Duemilanove, is a microcontroller board based on a removable, dual-inline-package (DIP) ATmega328 AVR microcontroller. It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs and 6 can be used as analog inputs), a 16 MHz resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an in-circuit system programming (ICSP) header, and a reset button. The Arduino has an extensive support community, which makes it a very easy way to get started working with embedded electronics.

- LSM303 Arduino library
- This is a library for the Arduino that interfaces with our LSM303DLM and LSM303DLHC 3D compass and accelerometer carriers as well as the compass and accelerometer ICs on the MinIMU-9 and MinIMU-9 v2 (it also works with the LSM303DLH on older versions of those boards). It makes it simple to configure the device and read the raw accelerometer and magnetometer data, and it has a function for computing the tilt-compensated heading for those looking to use the LSM303 as a tilt-compensated compass.
- L3G4200D and L3GD20 Arduino library
- This is a library for the Arduino that interfaces with our L3G4200D and L3GD20 3-axis gyro carriers as well as the gyros on the MinIMU-9 and MinIMU-9 v2. It makes it simple to configure the device and read the raw gyro data.
- MinIMU-9 + Arduino AHRS
- This Arduino program (sketch) allows an Arduino connected to a MinIMU-9 or MinIMU-9 v2 to function as an attitude and heading reference system, calculating estimated roll, pitch, and yaw angles from sensor readings that can be visualized with a 3D test program on a PC. It is based on the work of Jordi Munoz, William Premerlani, Jose Julio, and Doug Weibel.
