As we known, the NyBoard V0 uses a MPU-6050 6-axis IMU motion sensor. This sensor is an 8-years old model and it's not recommend for new designs.
So we're going to develop a new model with the new IMU chip and other sensors.
New IMUs:
TDK (Invensense) :
ICM20600/ICM20602 : 6-Axis, No DMP, no Arduino library
ICM20948: 9-Axis with DMP, 1.8V not compatible to mainstream MCU (needs additional voltage transform circuit and individual1.8V LDO power supply ), sparkfun library without DMP support
ST:
LSM6DS3: 6 Axis, adafruit/sparkfun library
LSM9DS1: 9 Axis, adafruit/sparkfun library
We're not going to use an individual magnetic compass sensor as it will be interfered by strong magnetic field produced by servos.
A high performance MCU platform for NyBoard is under development too.
Any suggestions for IMU sensor or other sensors you want ? eg: temperature/humidity sensor? MP3 player module? Bluetooth or WiFi?
Everyone who gives good advice or joins discussion in this post will get a special present by Len.
New version Nyboard V2 is under development
1. A WiFi & Bluetooth based SoC (ESP32)， dual core Xtensa 6 240MHz CPU， 500K SRAM and 16MB Flash with FAT/SPIFFS filesystem. You can directly save files through Arduino IDE.
2. On board USB download circuit and Type-C interface
3. Intergated DAC output with a small D-Class amplifier, you can play small MP3/WAV files instead of the beeper~
4. 2 Serials!
5. Super special offer for V0 users!
(*V1 is a simplified version for educational use, we removed some unused pins)
