How do I choose sensor for compas - Didier B - 2020-12-02
A good compass is the basement to build a satisfying autopilot.
Many different IMU sensors are available on the market, mainly addressing the drone applications.
My question is : WHICH IMU should I select ?
- It needs to be in the list of those compatible with Pypilot ;
- It should have the best dynamic ;
- It should have the best S/N ratio ;
- to keep clarity in design, the module (breakout) should NOT combine with other sensors (environment)
- of course it should be affordable (a few tens of roros!)
I will have more questions regarding physical on board installation...

MPU-9250 or MPU-9255 are the preferred but they have been discontinued and we are trying to make work the replacement: ICM-20948
