Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IMU ( SPI &  spi,
DigitalOut &  csAG,
DigitalOut &  csM 
)

Creates an IMU object.

Parameters:
spia reference to an spi controller to use.
csAGthe chip select output for the accelerometer and the gyro sensor.
csMthe chip select output for the magnetometer.

Definition at line 19 of file IMU.cpp.

~IMU (  ) [virtual]

Deletes the IMU object.
