Hello Naue,

Sensor fusion is a software algorithm which uses data from the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer to output information such as quaterniosn, heading, pitch, roll, yaw, linear acceleration and gravity.  The user will still have to create their own software application based on these outputs.  ST sensor fusion is the iNEMO_Engine which is provided for free when used with ST Motion sensors.

Thank you,

I am wondering if there are any plans to offer the iNEMO software libraries with the inclusion of pressure sensors for a ''10 axis'' solution to help compensate for altitude?

Hello,

Thank you very much for your question.

Currently the pressure sensor is not used in the iNEMO software libraries

because the target of the sensor fusion algorithm is to provide as output the inclination/orientation and angular information.

Do you have the download link for the inemo software libraries?

Hello Albert,

To download the iNEMO Software libraries you can access the below link:

http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1818/SC1528?s_searchtype=keyword

After that you can choose what is the library version that you are looking for, then you will find a link to contact the ST office responsible for your location, and it will be provided a couple of forms that must be signed and submitted.

Thank you very much,

Thiago Reis
