In this video Randall presents the Pmod NAV IMU 9-axis 10 DOF (Degrees of Freedom) evaluation platform consisting of the LSM9DS1 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope and 3-axis magnetometer plus the LPS25HB digital barometer with the Pmod standard pin-out. The second product Randall is highlighting, also from Digilent, is the Pmod 2-axis joystick. Besides the factory calibrated joystick, this product has a center joystick button, a trigger style push button and a 24-bit RGB LED.
