IMU_I2C_ReadAccelerometer(): Reads acceleration data (in g)

IMU_I2C_ReadGyroscope(): Reads angular velocity (in g) (rad/s)

IMU_I2C_ReadQuaternion(): Reads quaternions

IMU_I2C_ReadEuler(): Reads Euler angles (radians)

3. Reading IMU Data

After downloading the program into Arduino, open the serial port assistant (configuration parameters are shown in the image below). You will see the IMU module's data continuously printed. When we change the IMU module's orientation, the data will change.

Note: The above data is for a 10-axis IMU, 6-axis without magnetometer and barometer data, and 9-axis without barometer data.
